Is it true that I have to read philosophy first to get the most out of general literature?

you have to read philosophy to get the most out of life

but literature is an artistic medium. and only by appreciating the internal nuances, techniques, and forms of that medium will you get the most out of it. and that's my philosophically informed view.

Do whatever you want. You ask me I'll tell you you're wasting your time and call you a cuck. But what the fuck do I know. Cuck.

take this a little further and you've got it.

the history of ideas is crucial to understanding the context of the lit: what points its making and how it's interacting with other key concepts of the time.

I spend at least three months researching the historical context and reading secondary literature before I pick up any work of fiction. the experience is just incomplete otherwise

seriously?! fuck that.

Reading is a pastime for me. It's productive but not fucking work.

Do you find that the returns match the outlay of effort?
