/lit/ - Literature

That's more than most here

>tfw only annotate 20ish pages a day

I don't even read.

>>11114632
>50 pages a day
so you read for 1 hour a day?

>>11114632
god I wish that were me

OP's not going to make it tho.

>>11114632
50 pages every day comes out to about a book a week. That’s a good pace. Just be consistent.

>>11115061
That is two hours.

>>11115185
>he reads sub 500 page """books"""

>>11115260

No, it's 40 minutes plus 20 minutes for the mandatory not taking session (10 A4 pages of handwritten literary analysis)

I read 0 pages a day until I learned to read.

>>11114632
The average /lit/tard reads next to 0 pages a day.

>>11114632

I can bench press as much weight as 50 dogs.

>reading booklets

>>11114632
don't approach literature as another accumulative good. you consumerism fuck.

It's not how much you read. It's how much you retain.

There are autists on this board who probably blaze through 4 or 5 books a week but aren't savoring and actually enjoying what they're reading. Furthermore, I doubt they're even comprehending what they're reading.

So yeah, read at your own pace and don't worry about impressing the antisocial basement dwellers of /lit/.

>proud of reading 36 books a year
why?

>>11114632
>tfw only read 50 books a week
Is there even a shred of hope for me?

>>11114632
what do you think her butt smells like

I've been shiposting here for four years without reading a single book.

>>11114632

Counting pages is the mark of a pseud. Everyone who actually reads books knows that given how different books are printed differently, and how certain prose styles and/or concepts are more difficult to understand, the number of pages you are going to read each day is going to change according to the book.
Good luck reading the critique of pure reason 50 pages a-day understanding everything Kant writes.

>>11116393

>how embarrassing
Honestly though if you have been reading dedicatedly 50 pages a day for a month there is no way you haven’t gotten fast unless you are literally intellectually challenged.

>>11115061
You mean 30 minutes?

>>11114632
I haven't finished a book for about three months. i read 100 pages into one, get bored, start reading another one and repeat.

>>11114632
>tfw read 20-30 pages a day
>tfw fall asleep while reading if I don't get at least 7 hours of sleep the night before
>tfw need coffee or soda while I read

>>11117473
I'm glad I'm not the only one

>>11114643
>tfw dont even annotate because even though I know it helps I can't deface my precious books

>>11117309
It would take me maybe an hour and a half to read through 50 pages, and I read fairly frequently. Do you read for plot or something?

Being a semi-autist, I log all of my reading. I tend to read in multi-hour binges scattered throughout the week. Last year I averaged only thirty pages a day.

>>11115302
I suspect a shoop but I can't prove it.

according to how to read a book the first reading should be done without stopping as if you're reading a novel. so even a hard philosophical text should be read fairly quickly on the first read. second read is a different story.

>reading a book twice
do i look like a NEET with time on his hands?

>>11117309
The goal for some people isn't to get to the end of the book quickly.If I like a paragraph I might re-read it or stop and think about the ideas it conveys rather than continue onto the next page straight away in order to meet my page quota for the day.
