70 pages of Herodotus and Treasure Island from start to finish. I'm still somewhat struggling with Histories whenever there's a flood of names/description/geography but when it's good I love it. Treasure Island was solid childrens lit, engaging all the way through. Thinking about reading some Holmes after dinner.

>How the fuck do you do this shit?
Planning and I just put my mind to it, I guess

I divided the book in 3 parts, so I had the goal to read at least 110 pages every day. To do that and to still understand and retain the knowledge i had acquired (I was reading a history book), I was aiming to read between 10-15 pages per hour. At the end of the day, it took me about 9 hours to read all the 110 pages.
I just did that for 3 days.

>Do you do anything other than reading?
not in these last three days

>> No.14556103

>>14556044
still me
I think the trick is to take short breaks (maybe a 5-10min break) between the 10-15 pages, and to also break the final goal (110p/day) in smaller "bite-size" goals (10-15p/hour)

>9 hours (of reading time)
not counting the breaks and other basic needs

>> No.14556177

Have yet to read today, still at the ole slave wage store. Have to down 50 pages and then write for 2 hours. Goal is to have 3 books read a month, which seems reasonable, especially for retention. Good job OP, keep reading throughout these months

For the first time in my life I have read more than 100 pages in one sitting today. Just over 3h of constant reading without loosing focus. Don't lose hope brothers, if a fool like me can do it so can you friends. Read a page today so that you can read two tomorrow!
