2 and then took a break

Around 45 of Lolita to finish it off. Going to go read some more though of something else.

>>15802153
just woke up but I plan on reading at least a 100 pages today.

more than you rent boy

Zero. I won't and can't read half a page if I've masturbated or fucked in the hours preceding it. No focus. Can't think. Will just keep doing it again and again after. Used to read. Now I just coom and shit post here because it reminds me of the days when I used to be happy and read all the time.

>>15802153
20, but I'll read more, after walking my dog.

>>15802153
48. It's rather early, though.

>>15802153
about 20 across two books
other then that probably another 40 of research papers but those don't count imo since I barely pay attention there

>>15803187
This.

>>15802153
200. decided to marathon and finish the book once and for all

>>15802153
None, I've taken a break from reading to focus primarily on drawing and on watching lectures. Though I am really close to finishing my last book, so it does bug me that I can't finish it any time soon.

>>15804792
What do you tend to draw?

>>15804813
To be quite honest, its only recently I've started drawing anything of value. Everything up to this point over several years has been almost uninterrupted strings of drawing exercises, small sketches lasting 15 minutes, or still lives of random objects I see lying about.

I've finally decided to set aside a month or two to sketch and eventually draw a character from my imagination. Its going better than expected, thus far, which I'm happy to say.

I read 10 pages a day if I really put some effort in it. I generally read the same page two or three times to absorb all information. But right now I'm reading How to Read a Book to become faster, while still trying to avoid neglecting information.

picked up crime and punishment again yesterday and read around 250 pages. read 50 this morning and finished it. thought it was a very enjoyable book but luzhin courting dunia was kind of dull and dragged on for a while.

>>15802320
What the fuck? Have you been following me?
Just this morning I read the last 45 pages of Lolita

>>15805736
There's been a lot of people reading Lolita for the first time recently for some reason.

Just woke up and I've read the frontpage of the newspaper so that counts I think

>>15802320
2 nights ago I pounded through the last 60 pages of Lolita... wtf?

is that good enough?

>>15802153
read the first 20 pages of Goeothe's Faust for some reason i thought it would be written like a normal novel eventhough i knew it was a play.... Also why does Mephistopheles even make a bet with God to try and persuede Faust, he seems kind of empathetic to the humans in his very first appearance?

50, maybe I'll read another 50 later

>>15802153
Is there anything more pseud than keeping count?

>>15806117

get off this board and read one page or i'll be very disappointed in you. just one is fine, if you want to stop after that it's okay.

About 40. Currently reading Demons and Legacy of Ashes

50

82 so far, will probably read some more.

146/312 of Foucault's Subjectivity and Truth.
But every chapter has a few numbered pages of notes after, so like 133 or so.
Going to go eat, then I'll finish it

80 (degrees)

I can't bring myself to read. Sorry anon. I feel an extreme apathy that I cannot control.

>>15809682
i understand. it'll get better. i'd make you tea and clean your room a little if i could. you're capable of pulling through.

>>15810356
Thanks anon, I appreciate that. I'm doing my best to get out of bed every day at least. I'll try doing some reading tomorrow.

>>15802153

Imagine examining to Kayne for a deviated septum and confirming it with the exposed cartridge under his nose as he moves it to one side. Then, imagine the scalpel, the hammer and the chisel, and cutting away the collapsed section, and further reducing the sinuses and turbinates while you're at it. Then imagine a few weeks pass and his nose is good as new and doesn't bother you anymore and he thanks you immensely.

>>15802153
um about thirty pages i think. I am reading Alexander of Macedon by Peter Green. I finished chapter 3 today. It's good though all the names of people and places are hard to keep straight so I just keep reading even if it gets confusing. the minutiae isn't really important to me.

>>15802153
Browsed through around 50 pages of 4chan posts.

Wth she read only 11 books this month. What's your excuse for reading less than 20 books this month?

>>15811786
4got pic.

Pages? Sorry I only browse threads from the Catalog.

like 20 pages.

50+

>>15802153
Not enough. Having one of those days where you really can't be bothered to read more than like 10 pages at a time before you completely lose focus or interest. Hopefully tomorrow will be better tho.
