What's his endgame?

>> No.14141689

>>14141683
Nothing. He's a coomer but for literature. A mere consumer with shit opinions most of the time.

>> No.14141692

how come he read so much books? where does he find the time? does he even read them or does he speedread?

Just look at him. That's probably all he does. Reading isn't hard once you become a regular reader.

He's 60. 2500 books by 60 isn't insane or anything.

>> No.14141712

>>14141708
Let's say that he started reading at 15
He would need to have a pace of 55-56 books a year every year for him to reach the amount he did. How viable is that?

You know how many days there are in a year, right?

Idk. Stalin read like 500 pages a day, Roosevelt a book or two, and they were quite busy.

Yeah, he could probably achieve that reading 50 pages a day which is very viable. You just have to be consistent and jump from one book straight to another.

I mean he must've read 7-8 hours each day from the age of 15 to 60, and I'm pretty sure he retained less 10% from 2500 books

>Harold Bloom, an emeritus English Professor at Yale, is known to be able to read 400 - 500 pages an hour (when he was younger). Bloom confirmed this in a few of his interviews, noting that the reading speed depended on his level of concentration. He told an interviewer that his reading speed was at the level of “someone just turning the page.”

>>14141778
not me, the holocaust is probably similar to stalin's 500 pages. yes, he probably read a little every day (yes, some people died there) but nearly not as much as claimed. also, details were overexaggerated and stalin probably read mostly comic books (typhus).

>> No.14141816

Not sure what my reading speed is today but when I was STARTING to read as an ADULT I'd select short books (200ish pages) and try to read them in a DAY and I MANAGED IT. So if you think this is impossible maybe you all need to RAISE YOUR GAME.

PEACE.

This is a stretch, but is anyone an oldfag enough to have that pasta about Harold Bloom telling his student to only read the first letter of every line in order to read faster?
