I tend to read at least a chapter per day but I’ve never felt this pressure to read a certain number of pages or chapters daily. When I want to read, I read a lot. When I don’t want to read, I don’t read. Life gets boring when I have a strict daily regime.

based. we all start somewhere anon, and if you've fallen out of the habit, twenty pages a day is a good point to begin. once you read a book at a twenty page a day pace, bump it up to thirty. then to forty, then fifty. after a few months you'll be at a hundred a day! think of all the books you'll be able to read!

Second this, you'll have so much fun with it that just 20 pages a day will seem gay, I stopped reading at book 2 to preserve my love for the thing, can't wait to keep going eventually

>> No.22127699

>>22127541
Although it seems daunting 100 is actually easily doable, just sit down with the book for a few hours while taking breaks here and there and you'll find 100 go by in no time at all. I must admit that's only applicable to certain books

Prove me wrong, OP
Read your books and come back to start a discussion thread about your thoughts.
I'll give you your positive feedback at that time.

Advice: It's okay to eat literary junk food until you establish the habit. I did this successfully with sci-fi until I developed taste for more rewarding lit.

Not to say there isn't world-class literary sci-fi (see the /lit/ charts)
It just tends to have a lot of filler around the titillating ideas, where more challenging dense stuff is all meat.

OP, I'm 1 of the guys knocking you for starting tomorrow what you could start today.
It's been a day or 2 now, have you started?
If not, tell me what genres you're into and I'll give you personalized recommendations to get you started. Even if you haven't read books, you should know what movies or video games you're into. I'll give you something fun, not homework.
