>an author or an academic
These people write the most smug trash ever. All of these "academics" know absolutely fucking nothing about life. They go to uni and from uni to a cafe and then back to their upper middle class gated homes. How the fuck some one like this can ever write something that is real?

Pale retards who can't even grow a beard want to write epics now...modernity is a sickness

There are tons of jobs that leave plenty of time to read. Security guards, truckers with audiobooks, a lot of mind numbing and low paid jobs. Trouble is that they’re mostly dead end jobs you can work in your 20s and then it starts being a problem advancing. 40s onwards you’ll struggle to even keep shitty dead end jobs.
Librarian is weirdly a booming job around here these days but with how things are going you might not last a full career. Plenty of them on goodreads and they seem to have time to read sloppa all day (I mean actual librarians not GR “librarians”). Other jobs in that sphere might survive a lot better. Handling data, digitization projects, archivist type jobs. Low paid nebulous activity but with a weird amount of demand (institutions have too much shit to store clearly).
