Can you explain what happened in Jungian terms?

This is only impressive because it means you probably didn’t eat or exercise or do anything else during those twelve hours. 50pages an hour is average so twelve hours is about the time one would expect for books that length to be read

Consider the lobster and interviews with hideous men. Both by dfw
>>16053227
I really liked consider the lobster. I think dfw was a far better non-fiction writer than he was fiction. Big Red Son is some of the funniest shit I've read highly recommend it.

I'm a fast reader in general and a technique I recommend for focus and attention is listening to the audiobook while reading. I usually listen to the audiobook at 1.5x speed because the narrators are usually much slower than my reading speed
