How many pages a day does /lit/ read?

[Anonymous No.5788000]

>>5787992
Never enough.

[Anonymous No.5788003]

>>5787992
honestly not that much, anywhere between 0 and 300. I probably average 60 if you include days i do not pick up a book

[Anonymous No.5788019]

30 and i'm spent ; ;

[Anonymous No.5788021]

I'd say about 90-120 pages

[Anonymous No.5788026]

A few days ago I read 35 pages and felt proud of myself

[Anonymous No.5788029]

100-200

[Anonymous No.5788040]

I read at least 30 minutes a day, usually one hour, but the number of pages depends on the book, if it's in my native language I'll be fast, if it's in english It will take more time

[Anonymous No.5788047]

I only read wiki summaries now

[Anonymous No.5788048]

>>5787992
~200-300 in English
~50 in Spanish
~30 in German

I'm NEET tho

[Anonymous No.5788063]

>>5787992
Depends on how much time I have and what kind of mood I'm in.
30 for short 150+ for long

[Anonymous No.5788065]

>>5788048
that makes sense.
I'm >>5788003
and when I do 300 that's all I do that day: very rare occurances

[Anonymous No.5788081]

30 - 150, really depends on how much I'm enjoying it.

[Anonymous No.5788085]

This is me exactly

[Anonymous No.5788113]

currently i'm in procrastination limbo and not reading shit, instead spending my days shitposting up and down the 4chins and ordering various kinds of takeout

lol, don't rip your dick off by masturbating too vigorously now....

[Anonymous No.5788179]

I can't get past ~15 because of the way I read.

My WPM is fine, but my mind is always forcing me to reread each sentence just to make absolutely sure I read it right.

[Anonymous No.5788180]

0 usually

[Anonymous No.5788209]

Apparently the cool guy in the OP's picture would read a few novels a day, at least according to people who knew him in the late 80s/early 90s.

How do you convert posts to pages?

[Anonymous No.5790542]

>>5787992
50ish on a slow day.

[Anonymous No.5790550]

>>5788026
I try to do 40-50 but i dont read every day.
usually 25~-35~ pages for hour

[Anonymous No.5791264]

>>5790550
50 pages a week, maybe 100.

I don't even care.

[Anonymous No.5791268]

>>5787992
120 a day, when I'm not being a lazy depressed slob, which is most days

[Anonymous No.5791270]

>>5787992
You saved the pic I got banned for doing! I love you anon!

[Anonymous No.5791283]

>>5791270
And to your question: I try to go for a steady 30 with fiction, less if I'm bussy more if I'm hooked, I feel it's a good pace and I can finish between two and four novels a month if I don't have too much college stuff. Theory has its own pace and can be faster or way slower.

where did you hear this from?

Can I ask you something, Hibari-avatarfag? Where did you find the Hibari-kun mango? The raw mongolian claymation is pretty easy to find, but I can't remember ever seeing the mango available.

[Anonymous No.5791699]

>>5791409
>asking how many pages you read on average is someone treating reading like a chore

way to project brah

[Anonymous No.5791721]

>>5791690
I saw the first four issues when googling around. It's a comedy manga so most of the time you don't even need the dialogue to understand what's going on (except that time hibari got psychic powers by eating garlic, I still wonder what was going on). I've asked some scanlators to give it a chance but if they don't want there's joy in harassing them.

I only use hibari pics in, at most, 10% of my posts. Maybe a bit more in /lit/ just because I love you guys. There's
no need to name me.

Okay, I suppose I'll have to wait for the mahn-jah to become available, then. I'll probably watch the chinese cartoon adaption in the meantime

Depends, I'm not a robot.
Read 100 pages for uni the other day, I've finished 200 page novels in a 24 hour span, most days I read about 50 pages, though, I'd say.

[Anonymous No.5791748]

It's pronounced ganjah, dog.

[Anonymous No.5791762]

It isn't. But I wouldn't expect your peabrain to know any Swahili, so don't feel too bad

1-20 page but I'm reading shit load of other informative stuff (thesis,articles, etc.) on internet. I'm reading philosophical subjects mostly; that's why slow reading became my habit. I was able to read 200-300 pages a day when I was teenager.

[Anonymous No.5791845]

>>5791409
I'm not saying it's a chore, i'm just curious how much the board actually gets to read

[Anonymous No.5791979]

>>5787992
Well today was a pretty successful day and I only read around 70 pages. I'm a pretty slow reader.

[Anonymous No.5792306]

>>5787992
5-10 pages in one or two hours.I'm laughing at the plebs in this thread rushing through their shitty YA novels. Once you start reading real books it becomes more about gaining a deeper understanding of the book.

[Anonymous No.5792320]

I've been able to keep up at about 200 pages a day for the last few days.

[Anonymous No.5793075]

>>5792306
I read 700 pages everyday.
Then I read them again and write essays about them.
Then I get edited and on the evenings I shitpost on /lit/.

[Anonymous No.5793521]

>>5787992
About 15pages/hour but i don't have many hours.

[Anonymous No.5793526]

400, at least

i am a neet

[ΟΥΤΙΣ No.5793578]

I'd say 75 average.

[Anonymous No.5794221]

If im into a book 50-100 a day. If not usually 20 or even less if Im not feeling it

[Anonymous No.5794374]

I have quite bad ADHD, so I can't say exactly. Often times I find myself at the bottom of a page and can't recall anything I've just read because I've been thinking of something else at the same time.

[Anonymous No.5794693]

300 or so on any given day, though on weekends and holidays it's more like 500.

[Anonymous No.5794694]

I don't understand, does everyone say they have this or something? I have meds for it, which isn't really a justification due to how easy it is to look up symptoms of x disease or condition and regurgitate them to a doctor. I do find it difficult to pay attention while reading, I don't know what else to tell you, don't care enough to try and "prove" it to you

[Anonymous No.5795091]

500

Can someone explain this meme since I have not read DFW? Does he do author's notes in his books a lot?

There are over 300 endnotes in Infinite Jest which are an integral part of the book.

[Anonymous No.5796109]

This should be a starter book for all /lit/fags that miss the point of reading.
