/lit/ - Literature

That's because you actually do need to do something else. You can only read for so long before it becomes unhealthy

This happens to me sometimes. Of course, it also happens with everything else that I do with my spare time, but it seems to happen the least with reading.

Perhaps that's why I love reading so much.

Stop reading garbage.

This is constant for me. I can only read 5-6 pages at a time before I lose concentration.

It happens all the time. And almost every time, it doesn't eve get interesting again after a time. I just get "tired" of the book by reading like 10-15% of it... and then it becomes boring crap.
Idk why...

How do you ever finish a book? What are you doing on a book board?

>>1952103
I have moments where I can read a lot. It just depends on the book that I read. And I'm on /lit/ because I find the discussion much more interesting than what gets talked about on other boards.

Happens with all my hobbies at some point. Then I just switch to another hobby until I get bored of that one. Switching back makes the previous hobby feel all sorts of fresh and nice. Except fapping.

I never get bored of that.

>>1952168
Yeah but I don't think he was talking about that.

I still have some books that I can read all day and at the end of a day feel even more interested than at the begging. It's just that sometimes you get all inspired and stuff --and suddenly, you stop liking it -.-

it happens, but just with some books

Gotta take a break every while when reading, OP. That's normal. I do it on purpose with good books so that I don't start loosing details, and it gives you time to brood - I usualy stop after what I'd consider an important moment in the book.

I can sometimes read for a month straight, then read nothing for weeks. I get through a remarkable amount of books though when I am in a so called reading phase so its not too bad.

OP that means that you don't actually like literature you only read it because you imagine yourself as an intellectual. I suggest you come to terms with being an unwashed plebeian so you won't have to waste your time pretending you're not.

Kidding? Being impressed by books would mean I'm dumb enough to enjoy them and admire some random author, while I'm actually a lot smarter than them.

>>1952259
I wish this would be the last post on /lit/

>>1952284
Wut? What do you mean by that?

>>1952282
I have no idea what you mean by anything in that post.

>>1952297
He mean he's so smart that other people's books(which are obviously dumb) are boring to him

>>1952302
Then why did he ever want to read books in the first place?

>>1952293
I mean I wish /lit/ would be deleted right now, and every time someone tried to come back they would see that and realize that they were never as intelligent or cultured as they thought.

>>1952306
Because after hearing all this "smart people read books" I actually believed they're interesting. But my expectations were wrong.

>>1952259
And...where's the logic in that conclusion?

>>1952259
Well, if "God Hates Us All" is an "intellectual" book then idk...

Yeah. The wall disappears over the last 100 pages or so, though. 200 if the book is at least 600 pages.

Is there any research about things like this or something? :/

>>1952400
research about add? yeah, plenty.

>>1952404
The problem isn't in ADD. As I've already said, there are books that I can read all day and feel exactly the same. But it's different with other books.

itt: how is it that I get bored with my motonous 1 dimensional existence

>>1952417
You have episodes of ADD and blame it on certain books, I understand.

>>1952446
XD
okay...

>>1952446
Just that being distracted and being bored are different things.

>>1952435
itb: how is it that we get bored with your motonous 1 dimensional posts

Anyone knows a good World of Warcraft server?

>>1952501
Yeah, that one

*Nods head in south westerly direction*

>>1952509
I'm sorry, which one?

Infinite Jest. I really need to change my focus often to keep my interest up.

250 pages in, and I have read The Stranger, Permutation City, Siddhartha, and am starting on The Idiot as well as a series of enlightening essays on the media by Roland Barthes titled Mythologies.

>>1952513
That one, over there. Can't you see it? There's a guy with a Stetson leaning on it. Hang on a minute, that man has got his penis out, whipping it back and forth, back and forth. Ok, maybe look for a different server.

>>1952529

>>1952527
Also on Infinite Jest, taken to reading Consider The Lobster in between, as a break.

I often find that reading more than one book at a time works... but it might also make me confuse the storylines lol

>>1952527
>>1952557
Hmh, I should try that. Thanks.
