Goodreads has been a sufficient replacement “trophy” for my underfunded self.

For full transparency, I did not enjoy the work. Dazai is a bit much of a “sad boy” for my standards, and it felt like I was reading a 1930s Japanese boy’s anachronistically hosted Tumblr blog.

However, to answer your question, why do people enjoy listening to King Von? It is not exactly the moral character that people are attracted to, but rather the extreme applications of a human’s negative emotions.

While you might not relate to spinning the block on your opps the way Von does, you might harbor feelings of violence from time to time. While you may not be as suicidal as Dazai, there might be times where you feel tired with your spirit eroded away by life’s misfortunes. During those times, it is satisfying to have some sort of vicarious emotional catharsis.

I am stupid, but here’s my answer:

I suppose you can begin to read works from renowned academics, such as economists and anthropologists. It could aid your intellectual appearance in conversation by providing you with a deeper understanding of human behavior, societal dynamics, and psychological principles applied with nuance to complex topics.

This subreddit likes to recommend Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow frequently; this might be a decent starter work, as Kahneman writes in an accessible, yet well written manner. If you’re able to slow your thought process the way he can, it might help with your problem.

Dostoyevsky would’ve read it to check for typos.

I love Flowers for Algernon! It’s so overlooked due to its short-story version being part of middle school curricula, but the expanded novelization is timeless. The transformation of Charlie’s writing made every relationship in the book, no matter how small, more impactful. There’s something unnecessarily tragic of seeing his path from loving his coworkers, realizing their mockery and having his feelings bitter, and then watching it wane into pity.

You’re not the only one! My English teacher in high school actually figured this was the case.

You discuss interpretations of narrative books, as well as lessons learned from non-fictional. Discussions will really differ based on the nature of it!

I think what has always detracted me from book clubs, however, is the fact that it sort of places you into a position to have to read a certain book. They’re great for those who need that extra motivation to try more books, but I tend to like what I like.
