Why is reading anarchist texts so much more enjoyable than leftist texts? Leftist theory is such a snoozefest while anarchist writers—Stirner, Novatorre, Goldman, for example—are actually enjoyable to read. It carries over to the modern age as well; leftist bloggers are complete autists arguing in their ivory toweries about obscure theory with zero IRL applications while anarchist writers write stuff that actually has some relevancy. For example, Desert, with all its faults, has lessons that are applicable to IRL All leftism has to offer are autistic bloggers like Jehu who argue the semantics of what Marx said ad nauseum.

Idk, I enjoyed reading Marx too and Lenin is sometimes really verbally violent and fund because of that, but anarchists do right less formulaic than marxists in general. I think thats because of the whole "immortal science" thing. They like to write very encapsulated if that makes sense. If you write not only with the intend of expressing a certain idea or analysis, but also trying to adhere to the hegelian sound of wording the marxist formular is just what you end up with.
Also many anarchists write with a healthy dose of jest (especially stirner), which I do enjoy but I could see fans of sober philosophy not enjoying.

Don't disrespect the CCF like that, they are following the age-old proletarian tradition of only writing while in prison. Maybe if you said CrimethInc I would have said OK, but this is just plain dumb.

because you like to read things you already agree with and thus feel validated in your believes

Marxist are incredibly dry writers except for Trotsky.
To Marx’s credit, he is possibly the least dry economist of his time.
Also, Stirner’s writings are almost purposefully flamboyant and use a lot of literary devices to drive a point.
Marx was a much more systematic and you can see this clash of styles in his flat interpretation of Stirner.
