So I previously read Atlas Shrugged. I didn't like it very much. Incidentally, I read Anthem and Fountainhead after that. I'm now reflecting upon the books that I've just read, and I realize that I'm unable to enjoy books, as in I can't pick a favorite or anything near a favorite.

I am able to think critically and analyze the deeper meaning within a novel, however I have never particularly enjoyed a novel. I could pick out a few novels that I don't like particularly but it just seems that I am indifferent on a majority of the novels that I read, as in I neither despise nor adore them.

I do not believe that this is a result of a lack of reading, as Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged were about 730 and 1150, respectively.

This same concept applies to movies and artwork. I just notice that nothing connects to me. Do keep in mind that I do actively intend to read more.

I spend a majority of my days on the internet or playing games. I don't particularly enjoy such, but I end up doing it. It is as if there is nothing that I truly enjoy, save for a few discussions that are never a reality as a result of my horrid speaking skills.

I have recently took a personality test that gave me 91% thinking over feeling and 86% introvert, if that helps with anything.

Once again, the question is in regards to me being indifferent to books and not truly appreciating them. Can you connect?

It's not so much that you are unable to enjoy books, it's that Ayn Rand is a horrible writer by any standard. It's no wonder that you want to give up reading after having gone through her three most popular works.

i'm assuming you've read/watched the "classics" before you decide that you can't get anything out of books/movies

i know it sounds like a cop-out but they're classics for a reason. obviously some won't catch your eye but i've found that a lot of them have literary quality beyond anything that we see now. which is why my reading list is ever shrinking and why my belief that new books are of poor quality is ever growing

i don't have a list of books but i do have a movie list if that's of any interest to you

@ohmyblast

Perhaps that's it.

@potomac

I'm not a fan of movies. I'm currently watching the anime Ergo Proxy, which is philosophical but does not transcend what I've previously posted. I will hit the classics though, as in novels.

I heard Infinite Jest by DFW often reignites people's love for reading. I'd recommend checking it out. Don't let its length discourage you; I promise that after the first page you won't be able to put it down.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I don't believe that I will act upon it, primarily a result of what more resembles a cornucopia than my reading list.
