which color reader are you /lit/?

A White reader, maroon cricket

All of em

Yet another bullshit category system to make people feel special and unique. Whats your star sign?

why am I a basedjak

I'm a capricornio.

Perhaps one of the worst consequences of the Enlightenment is the rodical impulse to categorize and systematize everything.

>>24660314
you must be a brown reader since you're so bitter

>>24660308
you're missing red and green

Like 22/24 of the questions sounded faggy as fuck but apparently I'm the blue motherfucker.

>zero white readers itt
/lit/ has fallen

>>24660347
/lit/ prizes Greek, Italian and Slavic literature above all others

>>24660288 (OP)
Now, "radical creativity" entails challenging established norms and encouraging controversial, often subversive and transgressive thought, right?

...Right?

I'm not reading ANY of that shit.
I think I had 3 or 4 "Would probably not read" and the rest was just "Would definitely not read"

They all sounded like shit

Holy fuck, the old adage about /lit/ never reading is true. How the fuck can you not score over 50% in one single category?

>>24660340
wow same we're so similar let's have sex

>>24660552
You've got a very narrow view of literature. Avoid anything written post-WWII and you wouldn't get more than 10% in most categories

>>24660552
>>24660591
Yeah, I read hours per day because my job allows it and I didn‘t score much on anything because it all kinda sounded like contemporary dreck.

>>24660618
>contemporary dreck
Why is this board so against contemporary literature? Every time I ask this to someone who posts something like this, they say
>it's all bad because... because... Because it is okay!!!
and I'm not denying that large swaths of contemporary lit is bad, but most literature published in any time period is bad because most books are bad? There's excellent contemporary work out there, you just don't know where to look. I think /lit/ says this so they can sound cultured and intelligent
>oh yeah well what is some then
Faggot I don't know what you'd like. Last contemporary book I read that I really enjoyed was The Obscene Bird of Night. I also loved Amygdalatropolis and Scott McClanahan's "The Sarah Book." But that's what I enjoyed, you're a different person

>>24660644
Modern women can't write good literature, and they make most of the writers today.

>>24660552
>>24660377
You needed the self suck huh?

>>24660644
Literature typically reflects the values of the society it is written in, and I don‘t need any more of that to say the least.

>>24660644
>but most literature published in any time period is bad because most books are bad
you don't understand this subject. that's ok, you don't have to, just read what you feel like reading and you'll be happy. but you don't understand it.

Most of the 24 looked uninteresting (Honestly fuck stories that take place in the present or future, which were more than half of the synopsis). What color I am if I only read classics?

I took the quiz and almost all prompts seemed absolutely dreadful. It is like looking through these free libraries that only ever have shit in them.

I know it is not just me, when I got to my favorite book shop I think almost everything they have on offer is something I wouldn't mind trying out.

lmao

>>24660644
>Why is this board so against contemporary literature?
Because it's kids just discovering reading. I only started reading contemporary novels almost ten years after starting reading seriously.

Yes, lots of contemporary novels are trash. But some are worth it and going to readings and local literature festivals is fun.

>>24660722
...you don't seriously believe the meme about how the past was a heckin' based time where people only wrote and published sublime classics, do you? You're aware that was a meme the right was using to ridicule the modern era, and not a statement of fact, right?

>>24660958
This feels right to me. I don't know that /lit/ is mostly kids, my impression is that it's mostly men in their early to mid 20s, but agreed that it's mostly people who just started reading.

>>24660288 (OP)
I can tell these questions were written by a fag millennial

caucasian

>>24660973
the fact that your view of literature takes for granted a process of production that includes writing and publishing is an indicator that you have not thought seriously about the subject.

Red.

>>24660990
Probably a good thing I never identified with my own generation

>>24660288 (OP)
I got read but it's all either pulp, non fiction/self help or romantic comedies. All the more interesting premises were female coded (dealing with grief) or had women protags, who wants to read any of this shit?

These are not normal book ideas these are special hypotheticals made by one dude

here, i'll spare you the clicking if you're just curious.

>green
Grounded and purpose-driven, Green Readers view literature as a toolkit for navigating life. They aren’t drawn to abstract or poetic writing for its own sake—what matters is whether a book offers wisdom they can use. They want stories and insights that illuminate real-world challenges and help them make sense of the complexity around them. They value clarity, structure, and strong logic. They often find themselves reading with a pen in hand, underlining ideas they’ll come back to again and again. Green Readers don’t just read for entertainment—they read to grow.

i have to admit, this one has piqued my interest.

No wonder /lit/ is so stinky if they let you just brap up the board with your stinky posts

>>24660288 (OP)
Got purple too. The problem is that all the premises sounded like shit, and only 1 or 2 sounded SLIGHTLY interesting.

Some of them might have been interesting if a classical author wrote them, or Gene Wolfe, but most sound like Dan Brown tier slop or books for grandmas.

Kindof neat use of the ! as semi-punctual and not sentence ending like a period. Makes it all one sentence

>>24661437
Doc! I need to get out of here.

>>24661645
we got one.

every question us just a safe, quirky, shitty writing prompt for genre slop. how the fuck does this get replies and actual questions and discussions about literature die after three shitposts.
>>24661645
that's extremely fucking common you retard.
