And clearly you’re so poorly-versed in literature theory that you’ve never heard of unintented subtext.

You just admitted that your reading skill is so poor, you can’t even pick up the obvious subtext of your own words

So your argument is that people don’t care about reading?

I hope you realise that this actually weakens your point

Think differently from me… hmm. The opinion I’m defending is that books can move you. No, I will not entertain the notion that books can’t be moving.

I also didn’t say you made any value judgments about anything. I said you bragged, because your statement indeed comes across as an attempt to brag. Not a good one, though, of course.

Also, im not “defending literature interpretation”.

Imagine actually admitting this

Now imagine somehow bragging about it

It boggles the mind

So now you’re concerned with “looking cool”. Your priorities are very strange.
