t. knows jack shit about theatre
For fuck's sake, I've seen plenty of original plays, and my net worth is less than $5,000.

>nobody buys poetry collections anymore
I've bought 3 in the past month and a half.

>nobody subscribes to short story magazines or buys short story collections anymore
Then how the fuck are there more small presses operating than ever before?

>memoirs are the only commercially viable non-fiction
Tell that to the literary agents who sell novel-length biographies of historical figures on a regular basis.

You're an uncultured faggot and you don't belong on this board.

>current year & economic climate
>getting married before graduating from university
Unless you're a baby boomer, you should have a well-paying job and a place of your own before you even consider marriage. Even then, a pre-nup is a must.

>2 STEM books
>per month
There's a reason that even semi-serious STEM students only tackle 2-4 books per semester (a little under 1 per month). It's because that shit takes time. If you actually want to understand the material, an intro to physics/chemistry/biology book should be read at a rate of no more than 2 chapters per week, and you should do at least half of the exercises in each chapter.

>t. STEM student who tested out of all his freshman-year courses because of independent study

The other stuff is equally unrealistic, unless all you want to read is 100-page novellas and shitty pop-psychology pamphlets.

If you're trying to get back into reading, read 1-2 high-school core novel(s) and 1 textbook per month. That's all you can realistically expect from yourself if you want to understand what you've read.
