I think of an autistic reading order in my head that I'll read after my current book and then I end up just picking a random book on a whim that I wasn't even thinking of reading.

Strp 1:
I pick ten random books.

Step 2:
I start reading each one while stroking my penis.

Step 3:
Once my penis has achieved full erection, I mark the point where erection was achieved with one of those colored sticky book markers.

Step 4:
pick the one with the lowest number of words read to erection.

I have a heroic sense of purpose with the small clearance of a crushing sense of self doubt that I budget my available free time to read and listen to audiobooks and I have a strong career path carved out. My pressures choose for me and I just do it one book at a time. Sometimes I cut back on the big books and knock out a series of small books when I'm putting out small fires in my personal life. I have three major educational paths I want to do as an undertaking.

Knowledge and Decisions by Thomas Sowell helped me more than any analytic philosopher and his epistemology

If you develop good taste all potential books simply appear to you unceasingly.

I pick up a book on my shelf, open it up, and if it seems interesting I'll read it. For books I don't own I write them down in a list and pick things out of that, mostly at random.

>> No.18442517

I generally make a list of what books I want to read and set out to read them in order of interest, but also I'm very whimsical and just choose whatever grabs my interest the most at the moment. It depends on my mood.

I'm constantly overwhelmed by the number of books I want to read that I have no shortage to choose from.

This
So much to read
So little time
I’ll die without reading everything I wanted too. It’s a beautiful yet bittersweet feeling.
