I wish I read more but at the same time this is the most I've read in this amount of time, in addition to graduating college and doing grad school work.
Currently reading Aeschylus' Agamemnon, The Iliad again, and Bentley's Stranger From Paradise. Probably gonna finish out Gogol with his short stories and Plato when I'm done with these.

Thoughts on Theognis? I've been meaning to get into Greek Lyric

Easily. Do you go out every night? If so stop doing that (it's not anti-social to take some time for things other than friends). You can work a job from from 9-5, get home and make some dinner until 7 (assuming the drive no more than an hour, if it is get a different job or move). Have a small amount of tea before getting out of work or right when you get home if you can't stay awake past 7. Then read from 7 until you go to sleep or until don't want to anymore. Do this a few nights a week and you'll easily be reading a few books a month assuming you aren't reading at a snail's pace (it's not a race either). You can do it anon. It really is not hard. If you have a wife and kids or SO this could complicate things, but maybe just ask them for some alone time (If they don't respect this then dump them, books are love). This is what I do and I still see my friends at least once a week usually. I usually finish at least one book a week, but I don't play many video games (you'll need to budget time further if you have too many other hobbies, but if you're running out of time in the day then you might be spreading yourself too thin). Also delete all social media (it's worthless brainrot) and use the time you are on 4chan to read books instead.

I just ordered a different translation of the Bhagavad Gita. I’m not an organized religion person but I like some of their texts including that one

I’m the only one who reads full books here, aren’t I?
