Yes.

Meditation by Marcus Aurelius and self help books.

>introduces and develops a character to get readers emotionally invested
>purposely kills off the character in some random and unsatisfying way (like tripping and falling off a cliff or dying from an infected scratch) just to keep you on your toes

>tfw I married a woman who reads 5-7 books a week and has in-depth conversations about them with me during dinner most nights

Suck it, dweebs

I read on average 1-2 books (300-500 pages) per year. How did you motivate yourself to read more? I want to increase that to at least 10-12 books a year.

THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL POSTER HERE
its about a man named "anon" who is a fat fuck, but gets /fitlit/ and makes it

I exclusively read non-fiction. Is it a bad idea for me to write a novel?

my physical book collection would mog the fuck out of yours and I love e-readers

>>21486943
basically nobody has read anything. Even reading one book a year puts you ahead of tons of people. Godspeed anon

National Novel Writing Month is in 5 weeks. You ARE going to use it as an opportunity to finally write that novel you've been playing out in your head for years, right?

gotta train the reading muscles anon.

4x5 1xamrap flipping 5 pages at the same time
20 min uninterrupted reading with 5 min break
continue this till failure and increase your speed. Also try to practice telling yourself what you just read and check if you were correct for atleast 80% of it.

I formatted it like a meme but honestly reading might be slow now but if you continue to read and understand that reading faster is a skill to master you should be fine. xoxoxo

>as we read in the writings of Orpheus, that indeed Nyx is the only female deity who rules; and she rules all the generations, something not possible if she did not possess something masculine herself, and is therefore, in this way grouped along with the male kings; for nowhere does female rule as female.
