Yeah, it's actually really convenient to have but even if you don't make an account you should still visit I think. Seriously, If you love to read takes by semi-literate pseuds--and you must if you're on /lit/--then this site is for you!
Just look up any book like Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and pull up the reviews. It's honestly pretty fucking hilarious, I wholly recommend it

Why do you come here, why do you post here, why do you pretend to be /lit/, if in 7 months you can only read 4 books, 3/4 of which were under 130 pages? This is like pretending to be /fit/ for walking up the stairs at work; this is like pretending to be /diy/ for putting together a children's starter Lego set; this is like pretending to be /po/ for folding a sheet of paper to fit in an envelope. Can you not be content with just lurking moar?

[Anonymous No.18812429]

>>18812318
Mate, it's really not that hard, I'm not a fast reader at all, I simply spend a lot of time reading. Though not having a job for the first couple of months of the year certainly helped me to read more, even now that I've working a full-time job for a few months, I still make sure I get somewhere between 2-4 hours of reading a day. Also, it's not like every book there was finished within the same month I started it, I was reading Norwid for months, and Gargantua & Pantagruel is a book I've been reading since last year. And perhaps the most important thing is that try to spend as little of my own time on here as possible, which definitely helps.

75 read. Working now so I am roughly doing one book a week. Wont hit 100 which sucks but at least im reading

[Anonymous No.18812760]

I don't keep track of what I read. I'd have to browse my bookcase to jog my memory and get an approximation, and also sometimes after I finish a book I like to restart it. Eg, I read the Pilgrim's Progress twice in a row and reread one translation of the Divine Comedy and then read a different translation for the first time after I finished it. I also have volumes from which I read individual books, yet not the whole anthology. So, tl;dr: fuck goodreads.

As in, Faust 1 and 2? Or did you only read Faust 1 in June? Would surprise me, seeing how you chew so much stuff in other months, but I could understand investing an entire months into reading both parts of Faust. One month for part 1 seems weird for your schedule though.

What? It's a little over four books a month, or one per week. If it's a 350 page book then he needs to read 50/day. That's not speed. It's discipline.

Both parts, but I still proshould have read at least one other book. Don't know what happened to me in June, but for a large part of the month I'd just pass out 20 minutes after getting home from work and sleep into the early hours, which didn't leave me with much to do apart from going back to sleep. No idea what caused it, my only guess would be that it could have been the hay-fever tablets that were taking me out since that's when it was really bad for me, and since I've stopped needing to take them I've sorted out staying awake and being able to read properly
