They would have all sucked, anyway.

i tell myself that im reading 'deeply' to feel better about myself

>promise yourself you'll read more and spend less time on 4chan
>read less and spend more time on 4chan

Nah, you would have found something else to do. 4chan is not the problem, it's just a symptom.

Don't beat yourself up, what has happened can't be changed. Keep this in mind and try to do the right thing next time.

>you would have found something else to do

What else is there when all you have is 4chan?

I think that 4chan enables a good reading experience. When I see a book being talked about here I'll look into it, if it seems interesting I'll read it, then talk about it with the people I saw talking about it before, adding up to a better understanding of it than if I had just read it on my own (plus I may have never heard of it) and talked to my normie friends about it.
I also try to only read when I'm cranking out a hot one on the dunny

Why do these pics censor the names every time fuck. I wanna read more from this guy.

>>9419855
it's a sign that it was posted on reddit first. they require you to block the name out I think

>>9419798

Suppose 4chan would not exist, you would have found another forum to shitpost on it. Or you would play videogames. Or watch TV.

4chan is (for all its faults) by far the most intelligent internet community in the world.

I really enjoy being able to talk to you faggots.

Don't be absorbed in mere numbers or arbitrary sorts of pride. Cherish each book you read, let it change your life, love reading itself.

Doxxing is permabanned on Reddit I think.

This. Even if i manage to read 100 pages in one day, I'll still use a lot of time on 4chan.

>>9420279
wow, and here I thought reddit had no redeeming qualities

Lurk until you're 18. Or at the very least stop making posts this wrong.

Do you think 100 pages a day is a kind of achievement?

>>9420196
This sounds like a completely retarded statement but on the other hand i legit can't think of better lit community

>decide to read a book
>read 2 pages before falling asleep

>>9421466
It is a lot for a little babby like me. My point was that i can't read more than an x amount of pages in one day, so i might as well browse lit the rest of the time.

/r/books

>read a book
>realize it was only an 8/10 and I could have spent that time reading something truly great
>feel this way every time

>>9421583

Which books are then 9/10 or 10/10?

>>9421513
That's twice more than reading 1 page and infinitely than 0.

>>9421557
internet ain't what it used to be. early 2000s I remember essay-length posts on sites like slashdot. now everyone is just shitposting a couple sentences from their phone.

>sit down to read
>can't concentrate
>rationalize to myself as a product of not setting up my surroundings properly, not regimenting my life enough, spending too much time on the internet
>vow to myself to get better about all that
>end up on 4chan idly listening to podcasts and making lists of things I want to read
>repeat cycle

It was a bunch of trannies and gore porn like it always has been.

>read 2 pages of a book which subject is very different from my area of studies
>force myself to read in a tight scedule
>10 pages a day
>completed in several days
