if your goal is to live a happy, productive life, you are far better off reading biographies of famous men to motivate yourself to become a striver, give your failures perspective.

Literature OTOH is just depressing as fuck and generally mocks productive uses of time, criticizes everything as pointless.

Right..

But honestly fuck those piece of shit strivers. They waste their lives rushing about like little bumblebee cunts, never stopping to sit listless in their underwear on a Wednesday morning, Cheetos in one hand, whiskey in the other, racked by fear and rage, poasting furiously.

it's assumed that only the leisure class will be literary. this is why the popularity of the "English major" in America is so pathetic.

kids taking out six-figure loans to read and analyze The House of Mirth or whatever.

not literature by itself but somebody who's a classics major at uchi or history of science at princeton PLUS literature could have enough to overcome pure philosophy or mathematics if they're rigorous and smart both.

lol at not reading don quixote or middlemarch while listening to don giovanni. sometimes you need some well-crafted stories between the principia or lubachevsky vs euclid...whether they're fiction or history with a keen objective autobiographer, who cares? a story is story.

um, reading biographies about famous people will teach you that you'll be unhappy even if you do succeed. Chances are you'll still be fucked over, too.

Not really. Depends on the person obviously. But a lot of biographers turn their subjects into legends and make their striving/life outcome seem better than it was.

You're best off reading history, biography and a very, very select few philosophers. I think there's some decent fiction out there but you're basically correct; for whatever reason it tends to be overly broody and depressing.
