/lit/ - Literature

People of the past would just summarize the chapter in a header at the beginning. "this and that happens. This character dies. They find this". Now spoilers are a big concern for readers. Is it because of the influence of film and television? The word "spoiler" itself seems to be a neologism.

>"‘I have always been able to recognise the lonely,’ he wrote in his diary. ‘They don’t walk the same way as other people
Did he ask them? I don't think so. Therefore he didn't know that they were lonely. He came up with this shit just to write it down and people will gobble it up because you want to believe it

You're not german? Then why are speaking it like a pseud?

>I wish I could say that some irony was intended, but the cult
of stupidity has become in England what the cult of celebrity is
in the United States. To call someone clever has never been an
unequivocal compliment in England, but it takes a special kind
of perversity for students at the high school situated four hundred
yards from my hospital to say to one of their colleagues,
who took an overdose because of the constant bullying to
which she was subject: You're stupid because you're clever.

I say this and think like this

I took an actual in person verbal IQ test and it was only like fifteen questions and the most difficult word was pusillanimous. If you miss only that word you would probably get 126 just because there are only a limited amount of questions. I could see a smart person not knowing how to spell that.

I think I'm going to read Harry Potter tonight.

In school I was probably much more of a loser than I realised, even though I had friends. I was never invited to any of the parties. I didn't go to the school prom and I still remember playing a video game on that night.

In university I had zero friends or social acquaintances. I remember the first week I was there, there were all these social events and I never attended any of them. It felt like university was a huge party for all normies, which I wasn't invited to.

I remember I had a crush on this girl during my first year at university in my class, and one time the fire alarm went off during a smaller class. We went outside and then were led to a building by the lecturer to shield ourselves from the weather before going back in. I realised the girl was standing right next to me as we milled about in the building, and I didn't turn to look at her. I just read this noticeboard repeatedly for around 10 minutes.

Tinder became popular when I was at university but I was already sucked punched twice by the r9kpill and then incel blackpill. After the latter, I spent the following year in a near-daze, with my loserdom totally explained.

I become the ugly loser nobody talks to within a day of all my jobs. I once worked at this shopping mall store during university, which probably had the most attractive girls per square feet of anywhere outside of university. I talked to no one, obviously.

I lived in London for a while for work and nothing changed. It was demoralising walking past busy pubs on my way home during evenings.

The idea of talking to a woman with the aim of any relationship seems insane, unrealistic, and reeking of desparation.
