No need to take much notes. Just read. I don't remember hos long it took me to read it but probably not more than 2 months. 20 to 40 pages a day I think

Try to read a minimum of 50 pages a day and it will be much livelier for you.

About two months. Just set yourself a goal of 20 pages a day, I read the whole of In Search of Lost Time using that method and it was an enjoyable experience.

So no notes and a constant 20-40 pages per day. I'll try it.

>>12718585
Notes shouldn't be necessary if you have a character list at the beginning of the book (I think most modern editions have this).

>count the amount of pages
>if the book is more than around 500, divide by 14
>if not, divide by 7
>enjoying reading a book a week, or a doorstopper every two weeks

>>12718591
Mine has, but many characters are missing or are listed with different (full) names wich makes them hard to find.

>>12718592
What if the book has about 1700 like this one? I'd love the read 100 pages per day, but being the wage cuck I am, that's not feasible.

>>12718585
Dude, do whatever the fuck you want. If you want to take notes, then take notes. I did when I was trying to remember everyone's name. I made a family tree and everything. Helped out a lot.

Well, I do, just don't wan't daddy Tolsoy monopolizing my reading list.

>>12718592
neat hack, thanks

>>12718488
I read it in two weeks. It's an incredible book, one of my favorites.

>>12718488
20 days. Great book. I'm still pissed about it. Fuck Tolstoy for fucking /ourguy/.

>>12718488
I read it in a day, I am hyperlexic and a competitive speed reader.

>>12718488
Did a hundred pages a day over a fortnight but I was also on holiday at the time so had little else to do

>>12721699
Same case here, I read it two summers ago, went with the hundred pages a day pace too.
Nice dubs, by the way.

After 50 pages in one sitting I kind of stop paying attention and become really irritated.

I'm not trying to disrespect you guy, but is this a joke or an honest comment?
In my country there is a joke about 50 pages a day, so I don't know if it exists in other places.

>>12718488
I read it over the uni break over 2 and a half months. In total I spent around 80 hours reading, I made it a rule that a minimum of 50 pages a day and did this for stretches but occasionally would go several days with reading. Don't rush, just set a daily quota you're comfortable with

>>12718488
It took me 4 months but only because I had fatigue around the Natasha/Kuragin part. I think you can do it in two months if you stick to a decent pace.

Damn, wish I had the free time to read in this pace. I'm setting a 30 page/day goal to fisnish it in about one month and a half.
>t. wagecuck

>>12722350
Can you tell the joke? I'm curious

>>12718488
A month, it's not that hard.

im scared to crack this book open. i don't like starting (or reading too far into a book) without the intent of finishing.

>>12718488
one week but that's because I spend a lot of time reading

>>12723934
You definitely can squeeze in 50 pages a day, Anon.
I wish I could squeeze in more, but I have a permanent earworm so I can't concentrate and read fast enough.

>>12718488
Read it in about 10 days this Christmas, although I had to use three different translations which nearly made me kill myself.
