I wish to read more. I have trouble keeping a straight path, a straight stream of thoughts. It's almost metaphysical diction of my existence. I want to learn more of psychology, philosophy, history, mathematics, physics. I want to write. I play multiple musical instruments and I want to get better at them. I'm obsessed with my job in automobile industry, I spend days thinking about improving the machines and processes we use. Sometimes I get things done and my superios notice, I'm slowly moving up and I think that's the only thing that keeps me from offing myself. I wish to read more. I love learning. All that and I spend most of my time browsing 4chan and playing computer games that I hate. It's getting worse. I've been read Freud's Interpretation of Dreams for more than four weeks and can't finish it. Oh, I wish I was better. I try and fail -

I sincerely can't grasp why people read stuff they agree with. I mostly read books and authors who challenge my views. Anytime I hear an author making a claim that angers me or shocks me, I have to read what they wrote. I go into libraries and look for litterature or philosophy that I reaaaally wouldn't want to touch, but still pick up the book and spend a few hours struggling with its content. Strong emotional reaction is the greatest indicator that something will be worth reading.

My ability to express my writing skill is a tad sharper on the computer than it is with a writing utensil on paper. I have a feeling it's because of the speed, but it's also because I use the computer too much.

I could never get into philosophy, except for Schopenhauer. I liked reading World as Will and Representation, because it was very bleak yet well-written in its descriptions and the philosophical system as a whole really speaks to me. Yet every other philosopher strikes me as self-absorbed. I find myself thinking, where do you get off assuming your thoughts are so concise and beautiful that you allow yourself to pull all this stuff out of your ass? Nietzsche and Stirner were the worst in that regard. I just don't get why the ramblings of individuals are supposed to hold any truth and sway over the life of others.

I also think that with continuing advances in the sciences, especially psychology, philosophy will eventually be obsolete. I know the sciences are indebted to philosophy with the scientific method and all, but I just feel like everything has been said already.

I hate Pynchon and Gass with a passion, I cannot possibly understand the appeal of stringing together random words. All po-mo literature, except for some Vonnegut and DeLillo sucks.

I don't read poetry except for Yeats, Rilke and Heine, but I fantasize about being a well-received and famous poet rather than fantasising about being a novelist. I hate myself for not being able to get into poetry and philosophy properly and think prose is the most brainlet literary art.

They can. I also did this until I turned 19. Then My spirit and confidence was broken.

Sometimes, when I am alone, I still read Ezra Pound outloud while doing an impression of Yeats.

I've started 3 books in October and didn't finish any of them. I think I'm losing interest in reading

What were they? Do you think it would help to just focus on one?

I never read more than one fiction book at a time.

Could you try switching things up and reading some short stories? That always helps me when I am in a slump.

I wish you luck no matter what, Anon.

Obscene Bird of Night
Tin Drum
Guns Germs and Steel.

I just got bored of each one. Maybe I'm just too stressed to read right now

Black Swan and Antifragile made me depressed and I'm a complete retard at explaining it.

Guns, Germs, and Steel is interesting but remember that the author tries his very best to pass his theory off as actual fact. Diamond is dangerous because he is very good at convincing and asserting rather than proving.

I hate 90% of books written in the first person.
Like, just by default. It immediately feels self-involved, uninteresting, and even a little tacky to me. Can't really explain it, just seems like an easy way out to give needless introspection.

I started "He rapes his sister, Phoebe." And I genuinely think this is both the chief valid reading of their relationship and essential to enjoy the text.

I have a hard time to read unless I specifically engineer a period of time to do so
Like before work I have an hour plus sitting in my office so I read always then
Then latter in the day I have another half hour so I also read at that time
That guarantees me nearly 2h most days. More if I read during normal hours but if I don't at least I got that time in reguardless

I really only read non-fiction and technical papers because I was a STEMfag getting a PhD but I read Olive Kitteridge and it made me branch into fiction. Now that I'm done with schooling I've read so many awesome things I missed out on and owe a lot of it to you guys on /lit/.

Thanks guys.

It's the internet my man. Jerk off less often and only use the internet for necessary tasks that require focus.

[Anonymous No.10218483]

is anyone else awestruck at the sheer breadth and depth of human thought? neither in a naïve sense nor in a pessimistic one, but simply that there will — if you so choose — be a wealth of knowledge for you to uncover, an endless, inclusive coterie of literary companions, and humor that remains fresh throughout centuries.

i get this same feeling when i discover new, good ambient music: there are many people out there who are not trying to overcome nature nor deny it, but simply wrestle with it, head-on and toe-to-toe. their wrestling grease might be our chrism.

I don't like Anglo/Western literature

I like to read memoirs and recollections

I think Russian Lit and Soviet Lit is prophetic in a way

Whenever I get into a reading slump I just go for a popular thriller or YA novel. I like how you can read them quickly without having to think too much and afterwards shit on them for being trash.

I feel bad for you. I was a NEET for a year. You need to force yourself to write essays and learn to read critically. With all your spare time, it shouldn't be a problem.
