I bet you use tea bags, don't use the proper amount of water, and I bet you don't even heat your water to the proper temperature.

What is the flag to the left of the American flag?
Is it the Hawaiian state flag?

>curl up on couch
>pull on warmest blanket
>cat sits on my toes

This is the only thing that makes winter bearable.

Different anon, for me it depends on the book/author. I love getting stoned and reading, something like Joyce isn't really enjoyable (unless I'm only a little high) but other stuff I love getting ripped and reading.

Want to be a great reader like me? Here's my recipe for total reading immersion:

Sip 1 cup of coffee or tea with a light breakfast digesting in the stomach 1-2 hours after waking up.

>clean up whole place
>shoebox apartment, ca. 30m2, takes less than 20 minutes to tidy up
>can't read if shit is messy
>make shit coffee because poorfag
>water plants as the coffee cools down
>sit before the window in the mattress that's used as bed
>books are always beside mattress
>read

I mostly read in the morning so this is the usual routine.

>Not reading first and then reflecting on the book throughout the day, noticing the way life is perfectly reflected in the great work of art you enjoyed earlier

I'd rather not have thoughts about what happened earlier distract me from reading.

You idiots really will argue about anything won't you? Are you all really this insecure, or is it just an act?

>>6148027
I read at morning and at night. Best of both worlds, right?

>>6148075
it's tongue in cheek arguing

>>6148075
It's mainly just an act.

And because I'm acting, it makes me better than YOU who are sincerely troubled by my earlier post.

I hope this discussion changes your life for the better and you return to the right path.

>>6148070
that's how i feel, it takes time, it's like like dropping some acid, you're like "this shit is kinda overrated but it's ok i guess" then later you're walkin around ,taking a break at work or whatever and it's like "oh shi...i think i see...."

>sincerely troubled by my earlier post.

You radically over-estimate how many of your posts I've read old chum. I saw >>6148070 from the front page and responded, so I'm afraid I haven't seen the rest of your staggeringly insightful arguments.

anything after A Portrait of the Artist should not be read sober

reading finnegans wake uninebriated is a crime
