only insecure people like debates, so that they can be seen as wise in their own eyes. it's worthless to parrot anathemas at each other. People enjoy fruitful discussions, if you don't resonate with the foundations of the aphorisms a person gives their is no point getting into a back and forth with them, save to influence third parties who would have agreed with you anyway.

20, and I don’t have a favourite book. I suppose I’m a fan of Tolstoy but I haven’t read enough books to have a definite favourite.

How could you tell the defference between a debate and a fruitful discussion? How could the insecure person tell the difference when they believe they debate for knowlege instead of helping their ego?

I have sinned, Yea Forums. I need to commit a grand act to appease Christ our Lord, and in conjunction, confess my sins.

These are venial sins, but the Lord is so good and so wonderful that I cannot help but feel that even the smallest transgression is worth an eternity in hell. To appease the Lord, I am writing a novel; a most powerful novel, I say, but still minuscule in both beauty and knowledge compared the the decree of the almighty.

Any and all money made from my work will go to Church of our Lord, whether that amount be a cent or a million.

Praise God, Yea Forums. We should be thankful that he’s granted us this wonderful, mysterious thing called life, and should live out our days by honoring him through our work.

Why isn't it possible that these are their favorite books?

It's just lame bro. It's like the default "intellectual" author you could pick.
It's like someone on Yea Forums saying their favourite artist is like Death Grips or Kanye West pretending to have taste yet at the same time those are the most surface level normie albums.
Reading is to be enjoyed, not a fashion accessory showing how smart you are.

God of Small Things- Arundhati Roy is the greatest book ever written

This

Yeah that's true, I think it's more a problem of a lack of exposure to other books than the fashion accessory angle though; I think Yea Forums just focuses on the canon so much that many of us just haven't bothered to seek out other books. For the record though, Umberto Eco is definitely not a pseud choice

Have you ever read The Dumbest Generation by Mark Bauerlein? In The Dumbest Generation, he criticizes the youth of America for not reading and studying enough because they are drawn to screens, i.e. video games, social media, movies, etc. But then he also criticizes people for reading something like Harry Potter even though that gets them to actually read something, he is criticizing them because they are just reading the most popular book at the moment just to be part of what's trending so that they can hang out with their friends rather than be inspired to become literature nerds and a recluse delving into obscure tomes meant for academia.

Anyone here who has their favorite book as The Anatomy of Melancholy by Robert Burton. I remember from an Advance Writing class I was taking in college that The Anatomy of Melancholy is something that Edgar Allan Poe would be reading even though it is rather opaque and dense, then when I checked out some classmates social media profiles(I had to create a Facebook account to join their writing club), one of their favorite books was The Anatomy of Melancholy.

Moby Dick/Being and Time

The thing is, I don't really have that much against conformism if that's what you enjoy. I'd much have a man reading Harry Potter if he enjoys it than Crime and Punishment if he doesn't.
I've never read that book but he sounds like a dumbass. I don't think people should be forced to do anything if they don't want to. The thing is, I just think there's not much effort in schools or elsewhere to show kids that reading can be enjoyable. For example, and I know you're gonna hate me for this PewDiePie made a show where he discusses books and it happens that the books that he was discussing were the ones being sold out. So I definitely think young people would read more if someone actually made an effort to show them it can be an actually fun and act and not some dull and lifeless thing that you should do to get through a boring literature class.
