Why y'all reading so many books at once?

Isn't it better to focus on one book at a time?

me just behind her

>>18352750
Just got done reading "Blind Willow, sleeping Woman" by Murakami.

Pic related then i'm going to read the collected short stories of Tennessee Williams.
I'm on a real short stories kick at the moment.

>>18352848
I read a book and listen to a more casual/fluff audiobook simultaneously.

>>18352750
Reading books is for nerds. I would much rather smash pussy.

>>18352848
I get tired reading one book at once, esp. if it's dense non fiction. It's refreshing to jump between different perspectives

Thomas Bradwardine - Speculative Geometry
Johannes Kepler - Astronomia Nova
Jeremy Bentham - Economic Writings (vol III)
Aristotle - Politics

After...

Nay, your behind and your entire body are of the gay! Veritably so, my chap

>>18352844
Not terribly far in (just shy of ~100 pages) but it’s enjoyable light reading in the best way. Feels like a conversation with an old friend and she’s emotionally authentic and honest. Pretty comfy.

>>18352750

Wow dude, are you a (history/philosophy of) econ prof/phd by any chance? I recognize quite a few works from your post from classes/secondary literature, but man, I can't imagine reading Debreu just out of sheer curiosity... I respect it nonetheless though!

>>18352750
Now: Steppenwolf
Next: blood meridian

>Iliad
>World Order

>A Plato Reader (Hackett)

>>18352848
I try to read a fiction and non-fiction at the same time. Usually they are different enough that it makes me read more than I normally would

>>18352834
>John Williams is a goddamn literary Chad.
Right? I really enjoyed Stoner, and I'm so pleasantly surprised by how different Augustus is from it. I'm excited to read Butcher's Crossing later on, given how good the other two books are.

>>18352793
It's alright. Some parts are brilliant, others I find a bit more difficult to get into - Kierkegaard is a difficult one for me. I don't know if it's specifically a translation thing (I'm ESL, but I don't really have problems with any other author) or if it's harder to get his point of view as an atheist. I liked Fear and Trembling, even if, the question of Faith seems specially for me to grasp.

>>18352808
Well, I -am- reading those three at the same time. When I get done with any of them I'm hopping on to either of the following two. Storm of Steel is still to arrive by mail, so I'm thinking of going with Hemingway, at any rate.

>>18352848
My thing is to keep them diverse and at a (reasonably) low number of works. So generally a mix of non-fiction, prose and/or poetry. Another option is to mix up languages so the works are clearly separate in my mind.

Now: I, Claudius and The Golden Fleece

Next: Assasins of Alamut and The Divine Comedy

Kek this is the guy on /pol/ who tells you you aren't a white aryan and that all women are whores
