>tfw you reliaze you are like Jason

Do you have 6-8 hours of free time every day.
parttime school/ off work for a while/ recently come into a lot of free time and I've been smoking weed, cooking, writing and reading constantly.
How does /lit/ spend their free time?

Yo. I actually know this feel.

The trick is noticing your own patterns of categorization of text/ categorization of what you read. For example I normally find myself reading a large book (about 800pgs) alongside a smaller novel (300pgs max) and when I feel like I'm not making progress in either/ not in the mood to read either, I'll spend the next 48 hours reading two novellas (200pgs or less). I'm looking to incorporate some non-fiction into the regimen too soon, I'm a bit of a fiction addict this year.

How intelligent/ well-read/ generally intellectually curious are your friends/ people you spend time with compared to you?
