>“Reading an entire book in a matter of hours may seem daunting, but it all comes down to simple math.The average adult reads around 200–400 words per minute. The average novel ranges between 60,000 and 100,000 words total. If your reading speed is right in the middle of the pack at 300 words per minute, and you’re reading a middle-of-the-pack novel at around 80,000 words, you’ll be able to knock it out in around five hours or less.”

I have a job, a life and a girlfriend. Reading for the sake of reading is soi tier consoomerism and thus autistic. You should read books when you have something to gain from it or have nothing else to do (and having nothing to do is a sign of autism as well, only NEETs end up in that state). To conclude anon, read a book or two a month and you'll be fine. Start with Sun and Steel and join a gym, because I can quite easily imagine your saggy man tits even from this far.

Imagine being so detached from reality that you hate the very people who allow for your parasitic lifestyle to exist. You do realize when the neo-Fascist revolution happens you are going to get the rope do you? I mean, it's your choice to stay in your mothers basement while everyone else partakes in life as they should be doing. People are getting married, having kids, going out and generally enjoying life. And what are you doing? Your room probably reeks of semen and stale air. Your day consists of playing vidya, fapping to JAV lolis while thinking you are somehow better from those idiots that consume western porn. Reality check loser, your very existence is offensive to life itself, you have no purpose, your life has no meaning and you will die as s miserable pile of thrash, whether things develop in the direction I want it or not, it's going to go down. And unlike your sorry ass, I am earning six figures fresh out of university and without any debt and if things go my way I'll have my own company before the age of 25, so not a wage cuck at that point in time, but that can only be achieved if I work hard and stay disciplined and invest my money correctly (with an ample amount of luck). And if I was doing what you are, then nothing would ever happen, sure you may experience some kind of pleasure from your activities, but it is fake happiness that you are enjoying and it does not last. Thus you have to consume and consume ever more for your now defunct brain craves content to feel any form of satisfaction. Hence why you also read books all the time, think about it parasite Anon, when was the last time you sat down and did nothing for an hour or two, without your brain going bat shit crazy with it's craving for content? In fact go ahead and try avoiding any content for a few hours and I am most certain that you will fail for you cannot do so at this point. Do not misunderstand me, if you are a white guy, I'd actually want to help you change your lifestyle if you so wish, but if you aren't or don't wish to, I'd want to get rid of you the same way I'd rid my body of parasitic worms if I were to get them. Because as you are now, you are a burden to the economy and to the very being of my race and it's people.

When the actual Fascists (no need for neo) every neet will have to fall in line at which point they gladly will or deserve the punishment that Damquan and friends get free of choice.

>60,000 words is 120 pages single spaced, 240 pages double spaced.
That's not your average novel, not going by those worth reading.
Either it's a play size or its at least 320 pages.
No book above 50000 words and under 100000 is worth reading—it's pop-fiction.

>> No.14399233

I mean, off the top of my head:
just about anything by Marguerite Duras
most Salinger
anything by Dennis Cooper

Shorter novels are their own art form, and novellas are a different thing altogether

incidentally a lot of YA and pop fiction tends to run long
