>>20427195
I read -50 pages a day, on average.

>>20427195
How many pages equal one 4chan thread?

I don't really read

>>20427613
Faggot

>>20427806
Depends on how many replies

>>20427926
Then how much is one reply?

>>20427926
assume, arguendo: average 200 replies

>>20427939
1/100th of a page

>>20427943
I would say that's about one page of text

>>20427948
But anon surely that should depend on the size of the reply, the amount of information in the image, the number of skippable poltard rants contained therein, whether it is a meme or not, the complexity of the subject matter and of the OP, the drunkenness of the reader and frequency of spelling mistakes in the reply
Surely

>>20427195

>>20428376

>>20428868
Start with the classics

>>20428868

>>20429003
100k is physically impossible

>>20427195
i believe you anon

>>20429020
Thanks

>>20427195
If you sleep eight hours a day and you have nothing to do but read for 16 hours, you'd be reading 100 pages an hour. In other words, you're not reading at all. If it's fiction it doesn't matter but if it's philosophy I guarantee you're not getting anything out of it.

>>20428069
>why yes I read 100 pages a minute for sixteen hours a day

>>20428868
Main Kampf

>>20427195
I only read 4chan

>>20429037
I sometimes read for twenty hours a day. 1600 pages is no problem and no, I'm not reading medical texts and shit

>>20427195
Like fifteen. Since I no longer am a neet, I understand why people dont have time to read when you have a demanding job

>>20428893
Any recommendations?
>>20428895
Not into politics
>>20429056
Already grew out of my /pol/ phase

I don't read

>>20427195

You guys are on a literature board. You should at least try to read a book every now and then. Start with Magician: Master by Raymond E. FIEST. Yw

>>20430209
Magician: Apprentice, rather

For getting hooked on the classics? Grapes of wrath, the winter of our discontent, look homeward angel, definitely Moby Dick, Odyssey, The Iliad, Paradise Lost, everything by EAP, my county's greatest poet BTW, Walden. That's a tall list right there, I'll come back with more. Desolation Angels was great. Brb

Not currently in the mood for them

>>20427195
Upon the moment wherein the sun rises from the horizon marking a new day on this glories Earth, I begin by reading the faint scratchings on the walls from those of yonder years.
After that I read through the Epic of Gilgamesh and then dabble in the comedies of Aristophanes.
From there onwards I read the words of Marcus Tullius Cicero, that man was ahead of his time.
I continue on in this predictable pattern making my way through the great works of Vasari and Voltaire all the way up to the present day where I read your pathetic post and perhaps even the thoughts inside your head as they are written so clearly upon your brow.
And after an insightful day, as I watch the sun once again creep away below those distant hills, I will have read all known works of mankind. From there, I rest, but tomorrow, I shall begin again

>>20427195
I read 20 pages a day. Any more than that, and my brain feels like it will explode!

>>20427195
>start new books
>fist week 30-60 pages a day
>second week 100-200 pages a day
>third week 10-20 pages a day
>fourth week burnout, stop reading for two months, leave several books unfinished
>month later start new books
>repeat
It's all so tiresome.

>>20434570

I make threads all the time and no one appreciates me (on tg). Will lit appreciate me?

>>20428868
As the person you replied to: mostly English-language non-fiction and French-language fiction (just finished L'Étranger and I'm working my way through Voyage au bout de la nuit).

>>20434571
I like this reaction image. I'm going to save this reaction image. I will post this reaction image when the situation calls for it. Thank you for this reaction image.

>>20429010
Right, physically. Reading is mental.

>>20436393
Bilingual? Lucky.I find non-fiction works a lot easier to get through, I tend to struggle with fiction unless it has exceptional prose. I'm trilingual but it hardly counts,the other two are relatively obscure.

20436546
Give it a rest, no one can read 1000k pages a day

>>20428868
Anon, it is fine to read about 3 pages per minute (obviously depends on the format of the book). If you just read for an hour before bed, that's 180 pages, which is more than respectable. Ignore the other anons in this thread just baiting and gaslighting you. The key is to consistently read every day or almost every day so you have time to think about what you're reading but you don't wait too long between reading so you lose the thread of what you're reading.

>>20427195
>I read 1600 pages a day. You?
I understand them

>>20437019
I do, too. Let's talk about the grapes of wrath, oh that's right you probably read Harry Potter fanfics
Get bent

>>20436995
I can easily manage that but I get too autistic about looking words up, even when the meaning can easily be inferred.How do I get past this?

I can't read anymore. It's been a while since I last finished a book. My attention span is in shambles.

I can read as far as two paragraphs and then my mind wanders off into other thoughts, or I simply get up, anxious to do something else. Otherwise if I'm tired my brain shuts down and I fall asleep forgetting what I've just read. I can't keep up with plots and scenes in fiction, I can't read non-fiction without quickly taking a detour in my mind, a new train of thought every minute. I used to dive into books as a teenager, eager for the next chapter. I can't do it like I used to anymore.

This is fine to do. As long as you are learning new words, whats the problem? Or, alternatively if you want, just jot down each word you are unsure of and continue reading, then afterwards look up the list of words you wrote down. Just keep at it and find the reading style that works for you.

>>20427195
Navigating to a new webpage doesn't count.

>>20437338
Embrace it

>>20437571
Name a book and I'll have it read by tomorrow
>>20438579
Oh fuck off, I'm smarter than you, boo hoo, so what

>>20427195
