/lit/ - Literature

Nope

I bet she retains none of the information

>>20579576
Yeah if you just like the act of reading and not understanding what you have read
So I guess you could read YA shit all day every day so that you feel smarter than Stacy
Preschool really fucked up a bunch of women and made them feel special for reading words printed on paper

Only two ways to read a book a day
1. read shit
2. not understand shit

Do they know how dumb they look?

maybe a short one. i like to feel immersed though, and i have to read slow to do that

>>20579576
You can if you read YA, like all woman apparently do

All of these men seething at a woman smarter than them lmao

>>20579611
Yeah, speed reading makes you heaps smart and cool! Are you in 5th grade by any chance?

>>20579617
She's not "speed reading". Watch her video

what's that?

>>20579608
She's not reading YA

>>20579632
anybody who reads a book in a day is the definition of a speedreader

In fact anybody who reads more than 40 books a year should not be taken seriously

she reads dickinson

she likes larping as tradcath
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aCh6hHPCZM&list=PL43LpQQbTd7R816_2LTebTesitbjHoNeo

>>20579667
she talks all the time about how ''problematic'' classic authors
she also talks about LGBTQ representation and shit all the time
she is an extreme progressive who believes in all globohomo ideas while being extremely socially autistic and introverted. If she was a man, she'd either have been a massive incel or a redditcel. But she's a woman so she is worshipped instead

>>20579611
>>20579632
>>20579645
i'm not those anons but you know very well how improbable it is to 'read' that much and be able to absorb even a fraction of what you're reading. of course the trade-off is that they're probably thematically light and very easy books to read. you cannot in good conscience believe that one could properly read denser texts with even marginally more sophisticated prose and thematic subtext at the rate they're claiming to. you would have to legitimately have a photographic memory and i highly doubt these women are at that level, barely anyone is. stop simping.

>>20579656
i am willing to bet seven hundred trillion dollars she cannot properly remember even a small fraction of what she reads in a year. at this stage what is the point of doing this and presenting this image of yourself to the internet? but you know the answer already. this is reading as fashion.

At least she likes reading, so there is some chance you can talk with her about something
I am sure after good dicking you can persuade her to dive deeper into poetry and some lighter classics like don quijote. Small steps as they say

>>20579576

How do you fucking read a book in a day? It took me 9 months just to make it through Moby Dick.

>>20579805
>How do you fucking read a book in a day?
It's called having a high IQ

>>20579666
>anybody who can read less than 1 book per week shouldn't be taken seriously
I'm sorry that you're mentally retarded.

>>20579913
speedreader fashionfag. kys.

>>20579805
>It took me 9 months just to make it through Moby Dick
...do you work something like 18-20 hours every day? I'm not understanding how you could be this retarded unless you were an ESL who'd never attempted the English language before and decided to read Moby-Dick as your English book.

>>20579917
>I can't make it through an average of 300 pages over 7 days
I'm really sorry that you are this retarded.

>>20579576
No. I recently bought Heart of Darkness, my version is 110 pages and the most I've managed to read in a day was 25 pages

>>20579921
not that anon but in all honesty the actual commitments of practical life deserve to be given some weight here, which is why the woman in OPs post appears doubly vapid. i mean she definitely has the aura of one living off of daddy's money. for many working class people even a book a week is a stretch.

>>20579921
Not that Anon, but I read Moby Dick over the course of something like 3 years. I wasn't as good about reading often, and I would pick it up and put it down based on my mood. I read other things while I did, too. I'm trying to be more focused with how I read now, though. Sometimes the tism just strikes me, though.

sure if you read comics. Otherwise you have no life.

>>20579656

I could power through what she’s reading at the same pace, yes.

I read a book in one day one time. It was Robert Rodriguez's book on how he made El Mariachi.

>>20579576
No, but i can read a book a gay

>>20579576
I mean, I could...

I wish I could finish a book a month.

>>20579576
A bookstore fiction book sure
Most of the stuff I read, I can't read for anymore than like 2 hours a day or else I will be exhausted. Mental exhaustion is a real thing you know.

>>20580089
>only 65k words
>reading level: 2-5
lmao
I've read chapters of the wandering inn that are nearly as long as that in one night as I go to sleep

>>20579925
keep reading shitty books if it helps you think you are smart.

>>20579656
Cope more, troon

>>20580298
I'm really sorry you can't manage 50 pages in one day. You must be illiterate or overestimating your ability to read in the language you read in. 40 books in a year is one book every 9 days. I'm sorry but you're terminally retarded.

You also seem to think you can only read a book once. Again, you are terminally retarded.

The first time I read Pedro Paramo as soon as I finished it I started reading it again. I read that book twice that day. It's like 100 pages though. The longest book I've read in a day was probably Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix when I was a kid, which I remember I stayed up till early in the morning reading it. I read plenty of books in a single day now, though they are novellas, under 150 pages typically. I can read a 300 page book in two days, probably. If it takes more than 3 days to read an average length book then I know that I'm just not enjoying it and I'm avoiding it. I read all the time.

>>20579576
No, I have barin damage

>>20580298
>>20580298
EVERYBODY can read 50 pages a day stupid fucking retard.
But if you read 50 pages a day of an actual decent book, you didn't take enough time to consider the content.
real books exist to be pondered, not to hyperfocus on;
>O I ENED T OREAD 80 TOMORROW
(that's you)

>>20580655
>But if you read 50 pages a day of an actual decent book, you didn't take enough time to consider the content.
I'm sorry but you are extremely retarded.

>>20579595
>made them feel special for reading words printed on paper
These women are so obnoxious. I dated one. Thought she was special because she read Harry Potter. It's not unusual for women that believe they are "readers" to barely read anything at all.

>>20579959
>Sometimes the tism just strikes me, though.
Imagine believing that reading more than two pages of text a day is the "tism".

>>20579576
Just finished reading Ulysses. Took me 3 weeks

>>20580422
lmao what cope. You can just tell you actually feel superior for reading pages. Hilarious low iq cretin

>>20579576
there were some really bad storms one summer
I literally read 3 books in 1 day (hhgttg 1-3)
woke up, looked outside
started reading, finished first, ate, read second, ate, read third.
When it was really bad the next week, I read animal farm and 1984 almost both in same day, but day cleared up later and we went out

>>20579667
who is this extra chromosome hermione?

Tolstoy read House of the Dead by Dostoevsky in an afternoon (300 pages or so). That wasn't a big deal for him, no mean feat. Why would it be a big deal to you? You probably read a novel's worth of bullshit on 4chan, or Reddit, or news websites every day.

I'm guessing this is related to the thread but does anyone have any info or resources on speed reading?

>>20580840
And you feel superior because you can only read 10 pages in a day? Sorry bud, but you're retarded.

depends on the book. If it's some mush for the brain like The Expanse books I'll just blitz through them in a few days as I'm not concerned about the finer details, but if it's a classic Mishima or Willa Cather book or something I'll deliberately space it out so I can fully appreciate each chapter

>>20580946
Are you fucking retarded?
You're the one who made the original condescending comments.
I simply disagreed with your idiocy. I never said anything about my reading habits or how I feel about them.

Modern women read books written for kids with extreme ADHD and downsyndrome.

>>20580966
Kind of the same, I'd suspect that's the way for most people. If my job were to have a lit YT channel whose earnings were dependent on my output, I'd probably pick up the pace a bit.

>>20581457
Sorry bud, you're terminally retarded if you feel intellectually threatened by someone reading 50 pages.

>>20581587
you're the one feeling intellectually threatened.
If you can't see that, you are an even bigger moron than I thought

>>20579576
>Are you able to read a book a day?
self help books yes

>>20581652
Sorry bud you're terminally retarded because apparently you're unaware, due to your severe retardation, that this whole thing started because an anon, probably you given how retarded the statement was, said reading 50 pages is intellectually not possible, because if you read 50 pages you'd not "truly comprehend" what you read.

Sorry bud, but you're retarded, and feel intellectually threatened by someone who can read 50 pages.

>>20581521
>If my job were to have a lit YT channel
She had no choice, Oxford refused her application as they don't take Hermione-larpers seriously

>>20579632
>british
turned off
fucking disgusting

>>20579921
If it takes you less than 3 minutes to read a single page of Moby Dick, you need to go back and read the classics, including the Old Testament, because you are missing 90% of the layers. I am not joking. You're part of the problem.

>>20579576
she rules supreme over /lit/ because she reads.

>>20580804
Who this? She a cutie.

>>20579576
No, I have a life!
>>20579590
>>20579602

>>20583458

>>20581833
lmao you didn't even understand his original comment, just goes to show how low iq you are

>>20579645
Leftists only have one meme

>>20579576
Does reading book help defeat money jew?

I typically read a book over like a week, and then reread parts of it to better soak in the narrative.

>>20579576
Yes.

>>20579576
I used to but not every day. But then one day I pushed it too much and now I can only read for 20 minutes MAX until I fall asleep, even if I force myself to stay awake I start dreaming and making up my own story.

Anyone got advice on how to fix this? It's been going on for like 5 years so it's not some kind of burnout

>>20579576
No, but I can read a book's worth of words on 4chan in a day

>>20584438
I'd say based.

>>20579576
Yes, every day I set aside two hours to read the first Harry Potter book cover to cover.

>>20584438
based

>>20579606

it's all fiction

>>20579576
If it's a 300 page book, yeah, but what's the point?

>>20579632
fat person hands, had to turn if off a few seconds into the intro

>>20584489

you basically summed up 90% of the responses to this thread

How many pages a day do yoi read?

>>20579576
Able?Yes. Willing? Lmao.

>>20579681
She has a booktube so she gets some orbiters.
And she’s young and looks like she’s being open minded. Take your meds and a nice long break from the intertibes, ‘kay?

LilyCReads is a stacy tho.

>>20584467
So?

No. I get tired of reading too much

>>20579576
We don't read.

Yes. If it's interesting and not longer than 200 pages. More than 200 pages can cause a light headache to me.

>>20579576
No, because I actually have a life and bills to pay.

>>20580804
so how did you find it. is it as good as they say ? Also she is a cutie

Yes, I can.
I remeber I had to write a history paper at uni and only two weeks left in order to give it. I had to read 1/1,5 book a day

>>20579576
I read 2 books a week
