Not sure what it is but I’ve always been enticed by literary circles. It’s all probably a bit superficial and silly but I think it’s also common to romanticize a subculture you feel very distant from and I’m just embracing it! I’m primarily a musician and have always struggled with reading due to a learning disability so I tend to admire those who are academically inclined and find it fascinating and inspiring. Nonetheless I do love to read when I find the right book!
What I’ve enjoyed that could broadly fall under this category:
The Secret History
The Girl Who Never Read Noam Chomsky
Sally Rooney
The Corrections
GIRLS (HBO show lol)
I REALLY wanted to enjoy The Starless Sea but it just didn’t click
