I read everywheee

>>18862413
even on slides, apparently

>>18861510
What armchair and lamp are those? I desperately need a desk lamp or floorlamp, and I've been eyeing a poäng chair for 2 years without making up my mind about it.

>>18862413
Reddit moment. Reading everywhere is what social imbeciles do, burying their nose in a book with their pencil necks bent over because they're afraid of talking to people and can't make eye contact.

>>18861510
Where'd you get that based chair? What brand/model is it?

>>18862680
That's a cheap chair. Look into a Stressless or Human Touch instead.

>>18862680
>>18862623
it's a wegner CH445 wingchair

>>18862680
it's not OP's. This image has been posted here for years.

>>18862746
Really comfy

>>18862746
You need a better desk. You need a desktop, not a laptop. You need a monitor. You need to clean up some of the crap. You need sinus surgery or euthanasia as it looks like you are a sniffler or wheezer with your snotrag kleenexes. The only thing that is worth keeping on the entire desk is the bust of lenin. Everthing else is garbage.

>>18862873
Euthanasia pls

Why the fuck is the desktop community so adamant that anyone would need a desktop? Are they all children who play videogames all day?

>>18863167
I like this

>>18863166
I don't play games or own a console. A desktop is ergonomic and I am not a slave that needs to take his device with him anywhere.

>>18863167

>>18863201
Absolutely.

>>18863198
>never travels
How the fuck can you be on a literature board if you're not doing the very basics of the literary lifestyle, namely week-long rendezvouz to Paris or Rome on a monthly basis?

>>18863212
Coviiiiiiiiiiid

>>18863211
Based genre chad. Literary merit is a meme.

>>18863211
Tolkien spent his entire life reading and reflecting on the greatest literature created in the West: Middle-earth is the culmination of his effort. Based Tolkien bros unite.

>>18863211
Holy hell how much did Tolkien manage to write in one life

>>18863376
History of Middle Earth is a collection of manuscripts, finished and unfinished. Some of these are extremely important to the lore of his world, others are just interesting (like his attempt to write a sequel to TLOTR, or his unfinished "sci-fi" novel).

>>18863212
Travel without a laptop, slave.

>>18861510
Pic rel. This is one the reasons why my roomates think I jack off for an hour, when I don’t.

>>18863393
What’s his unfinished “sci-fi” novel? Google is giving me no answers so please share it here.

>>18863211
Can you also share with us photos of your shelf? The one with the Penguin classics and Asimov.

>>18863845
Watch out for the 'rhoids, brother.

I unironically read right here in front of my PC. Lmaoing@fags who cry about ADHD and not being able to stop browsing YouTube videos/4chan to read instead.

>>18863867
The Lost Road, it's an unfinished time travel story. Tolkien and Lewis didn't like the current situation of science fiction so they were going to write their own stories. Tolkien was in charge of writing one about time travel, he never finished it. Lewis wrote a trilogy about space travel (Tolkien didn't like the second and third books due to Williamson's influence on Lewis work).

>>18862338
Do you just buy everybook that's mentioned here or is this a shoop or w/e‽

>>18864715
reading whole books is a pseud activity; summaries suffice insofar that the goal here is to bring home pussa to insert peepee into. besides, by getting a general understanding of a whole book from a condensed few pages, we can save ourselves a whole lot of time to find more pussa while educating ourselves on fundamentals.

>>18862338

>>18863165
That is a reddit meme. Coomers don't use a Kleenex unless they has small sex organs and low ejaculate force and volume. It doesn't work anyways. You still stink afterwards and the clothes you're wearing stink. It's a bad habit in general. Stupid really. And then the day is less enjoyable after it. I don't even get pleasure from coffee when I'm done. Nofap is the way to go.

Its the Unicomp M122, based on the old IBM, and these buckling springs that you can hear from across the street, can take a serious beating. Its a solid 5 lb, feels like I can hammer in nails with it.

>Christ
Strictly theology and nothing but. Whats missing from the pic is the side wall with all the crosses, prayer ropes/rosary, vigil lamp and censer. And there's a cross over the couch as well. But I hate to disappoint about the coffee, there's none here. Its a tea setup, with all sorts tea.

>>18865315
>>18865350
based. I wanna be liek you someday

>>18865377
Thank you anon. First I had to sober up and keep off the chans for a couple years, disciplining myself monastic style, like the Desert Fathers. You get to learn a lot from detachment and exile alone.

>>18865350
Looked like coffee beans to me at first. I prefer tea as well and got a somewhat large collection myself. Out of all the different mixes though I prefer fresh peppermint tea. Care to share your preference?

>>18865227
Very based. I just moved to a new country and haven't signed up at the gym yet. At least I've got my pull up bar in the meantime, r-right anon?

I sit in my sad little corner of my under decorated new home

>>18865487
For me peppermint is occasional, like Greek mountain tea, since that's the one you have to boil, it won't steep. I usually drink black tea. The Ceylon and the Assam. The Assam is certainly the most caffeinated, Ceylon isn't low on caffeine either but it's a little smoother, mixing them together is obviously how you get your English breakfast, I don't usually blend though. The Nilgiri I found to be one of the more aromatic ones, along with Darjeeling. I drink green tea as well from time to time. The Jasmine, Chinese gun powder, and the Japanese Sencha, that one is really green. I don't mind the Chamomile, but when I just want a beverage I'll brew Hibiscus flower. Which truly goes everything. Hibiscus hits the spot.

>>18865505
You are welcome to use my sad excuse of a gym anytime you want brother. Just knock and it shall be answered.

Based weighted blanked chad. Also what andy warhol quote you go there m8?

>>18865538

>>18865514
Looks nice and quiet. Here in the city, on top of sirens we got music blasting out of people's cars. To the point of PTSD. Construction, children, and truly a little too much noise pollution for /lit/.

>>18865571
Hey thanks, the weighted blanket is one of the best things I ever bought.

"You have to be willing to get happy about nothing"

>>18865564
Its perfectly ok to fall over, the floor is nice and insulated. What you don't want to do is get caught barefoot otherwise you're going to stub you toe.

>>18865600
I have one too and according to my oura ring sleeping under the weighted blanky doubled my deep sleep. Very based, indeed.

>>18865323
I want to see the fish pillow anon. Also that's very comfy why so many blankets and stuff?

>>18865600
And I that quote, reminds me of the old “if you cant feel it now, you wont feel it then" thing.

>>18865642

>sleeping stats
I never knew you can turn sleep into a RPG. You gonna need to level up though, and save at least a minute for prayer of praise and thanksgiving.

>>18865625
I have to be careful with it, because It makes me sleepy really fast

>>18865626
sure thing. I always by from the brand Gaby, and this is my favorite. They're surprisingly cheap. This grouper is 120cms long, and it cost 24€.

I spend a lot of time on my bed, and I made it into a nest. I can just flop onto however I want, I've got pillows enough that I can just position myself just right, and I have so many blankets that I'll never be cold, and for every season. When it's time to sleep or nap, I just roll over and kick around, and then I'm properly entrenched in comfy. I'm always looking for more things to add to my nest. The pregnancy pillow is the newest thing and I highly recommend them.

>>18865648
don't know that quote, but the warhol one is my favorite. It reminds me to enjoy the little things in life, you know?

>>18865625
Hey what's the ideal weight for a weighted blanket for a 60kg/132lbs male? Yeah I'm short I know

All the clutter in my room is just weight.

aint much, but it's mine

>>18862623
I had a similar model, but with less cushion. It was fine at first, but I started to have back pains after 2 months or so of frequent use (it was the only armchair I had). I had to sit over my pillow to sit straighter and aliviate the back pain. I ended up selling it to my dorm neighbor after 8 months. I do not recommend it, as I don't think that this much extra cushion is enough to solve the problem mine had. It was crazy cheap, though, and still miles better than a table chair.

I used to do everything in bed, but ever since I got a decent PC set up I use it exclusively for reading, sleeping and jerking off. I have a cheap $12 shelf just out of frame of this pic, but I don't have enough books yet for a decent shelf post, so I mostly just use it for random documents
