Am him.

Very good. A little over half way through.

I suggest you read it like me, something like 100 pages at a time for ten days so your reading sort of mimics the sweep of time, lets you take in the rich prose in slices instead of slabs, while being quick enough that you retain the cast.

>>7118804
Pretty good, well rounded, good taste. Minus points for state of parents though. 7/10

>>7118820
Seems to have it pretty together, but overall pretty boring. 6/10

>>7118837
>married at 23
>living with parents

4/10 Best I can do, sorry.

>>7118838
Young but working and not a virgin, pretty good. Careful with that pot addiction though 7/10

>>7118859
Not too much to complain about here, you're still pretty young though so there's still time to fuck up. 6/10

>>7118880
Good education but not much else. Sorry about the divorce. 5/10

>>7118886
Average I guess, not bad. 6/10

>>7118913
25 is the absolute cut off age for still living with your parents, bro. Better get on that. Plus points for Gf though. 7/10

>>7118918
Slightly above average, plus points for Gf. 7/10

>>7118932
Pretty interesting. Zero points for Gf though because of long distance relationship. 6/10

>>7118941
Hang in there, bro. You should probably stop browsing boards like /tv/, /tg/ and /a/ though, they're probably not helping your depression (neither is /lit/ for that matter, in fact you should probably get off 4chan all together, but that goes for everyone really. I've tried myself. Literally the only board I browse is /lit/ and I've still tried to quit this shit.) Sorry, I can only give you 4/10 right now.

>>7118965
Good and organised, focusing on studies, good. Minus points for being a virgin at age 23, sorry bro I know it hurts. 6/10

>>7118968
Your life seems complicated and unpredictable although it's probably just me. 6/10

That's all I can bother doing right now.

The Count of Monte Cristo, for the first time. seems pretty padded-out (I know that the author was paid by the line) but not what I would call boring.

Three people can love each other.
I'd recommend a closed relationship, but some people don't mind and get off on the whole "cuck" thing and have multiple partners. But that's not even a guarantied loveless situation.

These people have multiple wives and husbands. Works for them.

High school so far. Applying to extremely selective liberal arts colleges (10%~ acceptance rate).

>single:(single/gf/married/divorced etc..)

Single.

>virgin:(yes/no)

No.

>living at home:(yes/no)

Yes.

>state of parents:(divorced/one parent deceased/never knew one of the parents/raised by grandparents etc..)

Married, but their relationship is fucked up. My mom lost interest in sex because she didn't feel intimate with my dad, who recently requested her permission to cuck her. My mom pretended not to care that he was slamming some MILF nurse (he's an anesthesiologist) and recently had a breakdown, as she'd been internalizing all her feelings ever since they married -- my dad's kind of an autist at times and she's incredibly patient. Anywho, my dad'll probably move out of the house soon while they get their shit figured out.

>daily routine:

Go to school, go to an afterschool humanities program. Go home, fuck around on 4chan and do a lot of homework since my school's on an accelerated semester system. Read news/magazines like the New Inquiry/rare good /lit/ threads/books if it isn't past 1 AM. Play vidya, party, and hang out with friends on the weekends, plus keep myself to a stict 50 page a day schedule.

>Employed:(yes/no)

No. Probably will tutor autists in how to write coherently once college apps are over with. Career-wise I'm considering alpine mountain guide, teaching English in high school, or orthopedic surgery. My plan for the latter if I go down that path is to sell my soul to the army so they'll pay for my education.

>currently reading:

Infinite Jest. Almost done with this bastard. I like the themes but the maximalist style means I could have read a lot of other books in shorter amounts of time.

>Favorite book:

Love in the Time of Cholera.

>at what age did you start reading a lot:

16. My mom's secretly patrician (majored in philosophy in college) and so is my dad to a lesser extent. They were members of the underground intellgensia in the USSR and read a lot of banned books. For some reason they didn't see too much of a reason to raise me well-read, but I'll make up for it.

>>7122018
Good taste in books, I can see you're getting your life organised, good daily routine (except the crying thing of course). You're still young and I think you have a lot to look forward to. Cheer up. 7/10

Nothing much to complain about here, seems like an all round good life. Keep it up. 8/10

I'm sorry but this doesn't look very good at all. Only positive I can see is that you're still relatively young and still have the chance to turn your life around. For now though I'll have to give you a 4/10. Sorry, best I can do. Cheer up.

I'm 19 years old.

I am handsome, smart, athletic and virile.

I have a novel that is in it's final editing stage, and a creative writing professor at my college has read the first draft and thinks it's saleable.

I have a girlfriend who is confident, articulate, playful and spontaneous.

I have a small group of interesting friends from different social and academic backgrounds, and I also have many other acquaintances who see me as a reliable source of humour and good company.

Both my parents are alive and in good health.

I have no regrets.

I have already experienced three existential crises, the latter of which was described as having the depth and profundity of a man twice my age.

I am a passionate lover, a sharp thinker, and a trader of witty repartee.

I am not self-pitying, meek or needlessly humble.

I will live a good life at your expense.

He was my high school sweetheart, so we'll, in class. Not much of a where but how. And how? I don't know. I think every girl is potential wifey material, whether she's the wife for you or not is a different question. If you keep communication open and voice your concerns everything will turn out the way it should.

I don't think that answers your question but I'm half asleep so that's my excuse.

Also something I've wondering about, I'm a fan of Bukowski and that era of American literature so I've recently picked up the Bandini Quartet in one fat book by John Fante, someone told me to read Ask the Dust a while ago but is it a good idea to start with that one or do I need to read them in order?

state of parents: married and quite better to deal with ever since I moved out

daily routine: wake up too early for work (hospital 45h/week from 7 to 16h); listen to lectures/podcasts while enjoying commute; turn off brain as best as possible while not doing actual work so as to not think on everything I'd want to be doing if I wasn't here; try to enjoy commute back home and or go to my private practice or C.E. every other day; early evening get home and hang out with SO while trying to pursue hobbies and loathe about not writing; not enough sleep til next weekday; weekends go by far too fast

Employed: yes, but on a contract with no benefits until next year that's also non-renewable on top of being stressful as shit; I don't count private practice here since I don't make enough to pay taxes on it but it's what I like to do and intend on keep on doing

currently reading: trying to do Wuthering Heights for the 3rd time with a much better progress, with Dune Messiah on hold because of it; also trying to start Psychology and Alchemy while reading Psychogenesis of Mental Illness, both by Jung for C.E.

Favorite book: White Fang and Siddartha, probably; I don't like doing absolute favorites much

at what age did you start reading a lot: comics when I was 4ish and stopped at around 9 when I transitioned into abridged versions of classics pretty much; then a break for a couple of years til I found out about Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl which made me get out of only reading school-mandatory reading and having fun with it again; from then on I remembered the classics and slowly went through their original versions
