reject booktok culture. go to the library and get a weird little novel you’ve never heard of in your life and read it all in 2 days like god intended.

this too tbh

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.

You go to the Goodreads review of a really well written and inventive literary fiction by an acclaimed, talented author, preferably an author of colour from the global south. "Too pretentious, trying too hard to be clever and deep" says the most popular review by someone with a big booktok/bookstagram. You go to their page. Their most favourite and highest rated books are The Raven Cycle, If We Were Villains, Daisy Jones and the Six and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. You close Goodreads, not merely with disappointment, but with a deeper understanding of literary comprehension in the 21st century.
