Are you a loser who blames madeup diseases like depression?

Or are you going to man up and say that you're just a lazy cunt?

I hope it's the latter because all you have to do to fix that is do something. The former is basically the equivalent of welfare, except instead of saying "fuck the goverrernt i get money nigga" its more like "feel sorry for me not wanting to do things".

I don't blame you, that one is tough, and slow. Don't get discouraged, though, you'll finish it eventually, and it's better to take your time and enjoy it than to just rush through so you can say that you have read it.

Don't worry OP, this year I've already read twice as many books as I read last year. We all start somewhere, just keep it up.

>> No.7238743

>>7236694

Don't worry OP.
The best thing is that you realize that you want/need to read more and the idea of not reading much is disconcerting to you.

Pick up the goodreads challenge. Pick up some short novellas or books and begin by reading a few pages every day and then gradually build a habit.

Something is better than nothing. Keep going man.

You're just like me OP, can't find any spare time to dedicate to literature... Always studying and I can't even afford buying all the books I want.

Plato was right and 99% of literature is just shadows on the walls of the cave. It's better to pray/meditate.
