"Hey im sure ill find my niche"

Well uh what is your niche in terms of movies, that's probably your niche for books

Books are for losers who can’t think original thoughts,

Books are for people who don’t have paint to watch dry

I've been really trying to get myself back into reading. I'm too old for YA novels and I've allowed myself to destroy my attention span through overstimulation and indulging in instant gratification.



A big push for me was going back to my local library. Library cards are (still, somehow) free and so is checking out any book. It's a nice break from staring at a screen (I'm a videographer/photographer with lots of nerdy interests so that's pretty much my whole life) and it's something I can get back into on my own terms. Reading used to be so good for me before I allowed school to ruin it but I just finished Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn and I loved it.



In general I've been trying to broaden my horizons and try new things. I turned 30 a few months ago and felt like I was kind of stagnating. Tried out disc golf a couple weeks ago and that was another cool thing that I'd like to keep doing in the future.

@tundra: documentaries and comedies are usually my forte with films. Either inform me on something real or make me laugh usually.

I remember years ago trying to get into militant atheist literature though and couldn't get past like 20 pages of The End of Faith by Sam Harris tho. Lol

I also had a friend harass me telling me I NEEEED NEEED NEEEEEED to watch LOTR and like the fantasy lore turns me off and the runtime doesn't make it any better, 3+ hours for a movie is way too much.

“ militant atheist literature”

This sounds absolutely painful, good god

Lol definitely. I was gaslit into thinking I needed to read those to become more enlightened when I speak out against religious doctrine. Was told I had to get into Dawkins and Hitchens as well but 20 pages of Harris was enough.

Strangely enough I even got bored trying to read theory to further enlighten my leftist politics, I never ended up finishing the Communist Manifesto.

Hitchens and the like is whole lot of crap. I think you got off well not reading that shit, personally

hitchens is the ben shapiro of atheism

Yeahh especially since those guys turned into complete grifters. Stuff like that and the way high school treated reading kinda ruined it for me for years and I sorta just never felt like going back.

@snake: lol sounds about right.

There’s a whole hell of a lot of stuff out there if you’re looking for a good story and some fun ideas. It’s amazing the nuanced and specific sorts of stories lurk between the covers, but there are so many, it’s daunting to try and dig through, so having specific things paint the whole of books in a negative light is an injustice indeed

this is overal quite lame but i didn't completely despise it, but the closer is pretty painful

I think I agree with that but in a completely different way, Euclid actually makes me cry. Especially when you hear the connection to The Night Does Not Belong to God off Sundowning.

Also this rating distribution is giving Amo vibes even more now jesus
