There are more books I want to read than I have time in my lifetime. How do you deal with this problem?

>> No.19669121

Just read one book. It’s better to read and understand one book very well than it is to read through thousands of books you won’t even remember a single detail from years later.

It solves itself as you read more books. Now I just look at the cover and know whether or not it's going to be shit. Like this one, you just know it's going to be a heavy scifi take on race and masculinity in professional sports and it was.

How many books do you want to read?

I'd want to read the complete works of all major philosophers and writers, that'll take most of the time.

I only read the synopsis of books, and if it to long I don't bother

Learn to be picky and see the patterns in what you read, its mostly rehashed.

Maybe at your present rate.

>>19669117
Do not waste time on books that aren't good. If you get 50 pages in and it's not doing it for you, set it aside. If you find the urge to take it up again, give it one more shot. If it doesn't take, move on.
