Ever wonder why 95% of "Great Literature" is utterly retarded and boring?

Date: January 11th, 2026 9:26 PM Author: black abyss (definite and ineradicable gauge of its upward moving) This is an idiotic take. Literature is truly beautiful and ascended at times. It’s not some trifle to be tossed away like a piece of rubbish. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5820902&forum_id=2#49582002) |

Date: January 11th, 2026 9:35 PM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, By any measure, I was probably in the 99th percentile of high school literature readers.
The only thing I took away from Ethan Frome was "wtf - why would they try to kill themselves by sledding? how stupid are these people that they thought this would work?"
What was the point of the average kids being forced to read this shit?
Wouldn't a Michael Chricton book capture their attention 10x more and present dramatic themes and philosophy in a much more understandable way? |

their teachers surely fuck up the discourse but mere exposure is at least a lifeline to the few intellects worth salvaging. the remaining 99% are just in virtual daycare anyways. |
