/lit/ - Literature

Hello /lit/,
I've been having this problem for a really long time and i'm hoping you can help. I consider myself to be a avid reader but I cant seem to hold my concentration for a long period of time without having to take a break. What are your personal methods of reading, and how can I improve on my reading time?

I need some help for an essay I am writing. I need to explain how voice is used in this particular part of this poem called 'Friends' Photos."

"We moved as easily as dolphins surging out of the ocean, cleaving massed tons of transparent water streaming away in swathes of bubbling silver like the plasm of life".

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm going to start reading Notes from Underground tomorrow.

What is the meaning of life, /lit/?
What should we spend our life pursuing?

What fiction will help me better understand loneliness or depression?

I will probably be homeless in a month and I plan on backpacking through the country with whatever little money I have left.
