I am 33, and I've never read a book in my life.
Should I start now, or is it too late?

you should check out deeze digits!

yes. don't be hard on yourself

start with the greeks.
It is a really late start. You will never be well-read. Your brain is made of cement by now.

Umberto Eco once said that after the age of 23 starting to read for pleasure is mostly pointless. He was a pretentious faggot and I'm glad he's dead.

>>24482301 (OP)
nigga so old he basically walking dead hahaha

>>24482320
Why 23?
It seems like he pulled that number out of his ass.

What do you mean by “too late”? You’re trying to read a book, not run a triathlon.

>>24482326
He probably did.

no, it's not, it's the enthusiasm that counts
if you're truly interested then you can still enjoy the hobby

1 year from now you will be 34, would you rather have read your first book at 33 or be 34 and have never read a book?

>>24482301 (OP)
truth is most "well read" people get lost... they loose themselves in everything they have read... sometimes it will be even better to just read one book but at least to really understand and embrace it... whatever why should 33 be to late ? Just read if you are interested too do so... you could star at the age of 80

The Very Hungry Caterpillar awaits you, anon.

Read the King James Bible, start with the New Testament.

You can read the whole thing in one year if you read just 3-4 chapters each day, which should be about 15-20 minutes.

>You will never be well-read
Retarded take. Why would he need or want to be well-read?
Just imagine how many new things are there to discover and be amazed by just by opening a book for someone who has never done so!
OP should read The Lost World by AC Doyle and something by Jules Verne - 20000 lieges under water, for example. Those were my favorite during childhood.

Don't read it's for pseuds
Keep gooning

he wont ever be well read because he wont read. if you haven't felt compelled to read for your entire life, you aren't just going to magically start reading literature in your 30s. if you really haven't read novels for your whole life, you wont be capable of understanding literature. you wouldn't be literate enough.

Atheists, this is your mindset.

Your brain stops developing in your mid twenties. If you didn't feed it while it was growing, it will forever be a weakling.

How did you get through school without ever reading a book?

>>24482679
Not true. Brain plasticity is more than previously thought. New neurons are produces, and brain structure changes throughout life.

>>24482301 (OP)
Pretty cheap and low risk to try.

>>24482301 (OP)
Dont bother it's too late

>>24482301 (OP)
how have you never read a book at that age? where do you live?

>>24482704
Normal kids don't read any books. You just read a summary online

I can't read.

>>24482310
>start with the greeks.
don't to this, it's a meme. Read something that sounds interesting. I'm sure if you thing hard enough you remember a book you heard about, if not read the book that was turned into a movie

>>24482301 (OP)
How the fuck have you never read a book in your life? Not even in high school?
