Wouldn't know that feel because I fucking hated Harry Potter's suckage but read several books this year that had me addicted to them.

We will, you stay a pulp-loving mental child, OP.

I remember being obsessed with Harry Potter in elementary school. The books aren't bad but they're no classic

>> No.1994455

Easily had the potential to be so much better, if there was a 'darker' theme. It was okay 'babbys first fantasy' but then you grow up.

>you will never have that same love of books and literature that you did before you discovered literary criticism and realized that most of your favorites are shitty rehashes of campbellian myth that have no unique message or relevance

you realize it's possible to like pulp and literature, right

Because if what OP said is a reflection on his actual feelings on the matter, it's true.

>> No.1994470

>>1994466
not really, though

if you read Harry Potter (or whatever formative series) at a young age, it is likely that you'll never enjoy anything in precisely the same way again, or have as much childlike enthusiasm and wonder in reading a book series. i don't see how saying that makes you a manchild, pls explain thx

He is on 4chan and probably at college age, so he has to dismiss everything that isn't "intellectual" or things he doesn't understand as a stupid waste of time and label everything who admits to liking these things as a dilletant.

It's his way of confirming his unsteady sense of self-worth by stating his perceived superiority over others.

>> No.1994826

i have and will again. good luck to you though
