Imagine the weight of all that
Day after day surrounded by all these facts and figures and statistics about he horrors visited upon the earth by your country
Literally surrounded by these towering piles of learned tomes
All you can do is give interviews and write essays
And the horrors march on

Chomsky has admitted that he doesn't thoroughly read every book, he frequently skims. I don't think that's a bad thing necessarily, he probably knows how to scan really well, plus he's got a great memory.

I've seen an interview with someone who went with him to Laos in the 70s to see the bombing, the guy gave chomsky a book on the region and the next day in interviews with diplomatic personal chomsky was quoting whole chunks of it
he read and memorised it in 1 night

There's a massive difference between reading for information and reading for pleasure. The goal of academic writing is to convey ideas, not beauty; reading some jackass channeling Yeats when he's supposed to be telling you about a study on enzymes or Libyan economics would just be incoherent and piss you off. Some things like poetry or good fiction shouldn't be skimmed or speedread because you're there to appreciate the euphony of language, but with other writing it's not only encouraged but necessary.

If you enter a Ph.D. Program, you'll quickly learn to do a book a day. I'm sure Chomsky can blast throu a book in a couple hours. Like other anons said, reading for info is not the same as the reading you learn in school.

He must skim at least now he's old. Seems every political book that comes out has a nice quote about it from chomsky on it

>> No.9073282

I almost always seek refuge with the same books - actually a very small number - books proved to me. Perhaps it is not my way to read much, or diverse things: a reading room makes me sick. Nor is it my way to love much, or diverse things. Caution, even hostility against new books comes closer to my instincts than "tolerance" and other "neighbor love."

Zizek has said the same at conferences. He said he'll only read through half of a book and then skim the rest.
