Choose shorter books if you’re so worried about stats, which you shouldn’t be.

Leave this forum and become obsessed with reading. I read 400 pages a day when I was locked up in a psychiatric hospital

Nah I tried to kms but then I got locked up there. Didn't have much to do so I spent my days reading and chain smoking. It was the most litkino moment of my life though.

Why would you be reading so many books?
Do you even remember the titles of the last ten books you read?

pepsi/coke and milk is fuckin' tasty. Gotta drink it fast though, or it separates. That's how you get clear pepsi.

How do I read more? 400 pages seem almost otherworldy to me. Even 100 pages.

Glad that you're better now.

What does litkino mean?

I only read 12-20ish books a year but I take my time with them, reread parts and take notes to make sure I comprehend the contents, and really try to chew on them

Reading for comprehension is the goal

Don't make reading a competition. Fuck goodreads, fuck kindle stats, just read because you like to.

Quality > quantity, my “amount” per year fluctuates based on the length and difficulty of the read, this year I’ve only read about 50 but last year it was 190 purely because i limited myself to 200 pages max. Shorter novels equals a larger number of books per day but does not indicate either the challenge or enjoyment one gets from reading in the first place.

that's a very decent amount of books.

it isn't. I'll do you one better: cream soda is a thing.

Are you literally me? Did the same thing, suicide attempt and all - had a very relaxing time reading, chatting, and listening to live performances of the favourite songs of emo teenage girls. I think I was reading more to the sum of ~200 pages a day, nonetheless that was what got me reading again
