Not sure if this is an /adv/ post but I figured since everyone here is into reading I can find some help. Anyway, I’m a pretty fast reader when I’m reading something that is interesting. I can flip through pages playing a scene in my head like a movie, however there is some important literature to read (or certain parts of books) that if I find boring or distasteful, I can’t seem to focus on it. For instance, my eyes move across the page, the words are entering my head one at a time but without realizing it I’m thinking about something else and I didn’t even actually read anything. So then I have to end up going back and it’s frustrating. I am only able to read one page of my current book before I set it down and do something else. Any ideas for staying focused? I have no outside distractions like t.v or music so I’m not sure what to do, thanks

Yes, I think a little neglect would do her well.

/lit/ is 90% humour/shitposts and 10% serious.

This is in fact, scientifically speaking, the perfect balance. Should a literature forum be any more serious than 10% serious, the pretension gets too much and the whole place starts to smell of smug.

Plus the anonymity really helps, along with the transience of threads.

It's fine, so long as the Left is prepared to admit that the gloves are off in doing so. They get as good as they give, and give as good as they get.

If they want it to be a one-way street, fuck 'em. I personally want it to be a two-way street, because if it comes to a contest of physical force between Left/Right, the Right will win every time. Particularly in America, where they are by far the most armed.

If they want to go down this route, be my guest. Just be honest about it.

Part of me hopes this is fucking Ted-X, which any hack can worm his way into hosting - or alternatively, hijack in an amusingly spectacular fashion:
