I found an awesome phrase for writers like Wilde. I think I got it from Kierkegaard: phrase-monger.

I also got paragraph-gobbler from Kierkegaard.

I think he was just explaining why he turned into a lazy, hedonistic dandy.

A paragraph gobbler is someone who reads for the sake of reading and does not absorb the Idea of the text. I say Idea in capital because Kierkegaard was something of a Platonist and thought that in reading we should come face-to-face with an Idea to be contemplated.
Anyone who brags about reading or being well-read is a paragraph gobbler.

Nice, sound like those cunts on /lit/ who are obsessed with how many books a year they read.

Is Kierkegaard the most based man on earth?

Literally Socrates 2.0

owning a lot of books does not mean you necessarily read for the sake of reading
