My(31M) OLD simply isn't working. I'd like some input on why this might be.

Too much books. And I say that as someone who reads a lot. You've used all that space to tell me something that could be summed up as "I like to read".

The authors you list are all very serious. This might put off anyone who just reads for fun. One of them is considered controversial and would put off liberal women. All the authors you mention are also kind of shorthand for "I am pretentious" in public knowledge. If you wrote a story about a pretentious faux-intellectual those are the favourite authors you'd give him. So people might think you're genuinely pretentious or lying to sound intellectual.

Saying you wish you could see people's kindle libraries feels judgemental. It would be fine on its own, but aligned with those authors and the idea that you see value in 'struggling' through a book just because it's by a classic author...its just very off putting.
