This is a board about literature. You're not welcome here. Please take your plebeian garbage to /b/ or reddit, where you will find both a demographic and a general atmosphere more consistent with your tastes and your culture.

Read to understand. Reflect on components of the work. Reflect on the work as a whole. Write about it. Read reviews. Read something more than once. Also >>24608775

reminder this is a literature board, please post your favorite brochures itt

unironically tho you are a moron. half of the classics or more are just epics and other fantasies, once you established a lack of understanding of that fact i disregarded everything else in your post. you don't even read, you just shitpost. many such cases.
