How long do you read per day?

Hey Yea Forums, I am trying to read more. My goal is an hour a day, which translates to about 40-60 pages depending on what kind of book it is.

I read two hours a day which is 30-40 pages for me on average.

Depends on the difficulty of the text I'm reading, anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours.

What kind light reading are you doing to get these kinds of numbers? I usually read heavy non-fiction books. It takes me about 2-3 hours to read about 40-50 pages.

I read mostly fantasy novels.
Terry Pratchett, Brian Jacques, etc.
I'm slowly getting into other genres, bought a few history books, getting into the classics too.

2-4 hours, mostly at night

THINNNNNNNNNN
LIPSSSSSSSSSSSS
YUCKKKKKKKKK

I'm not the guy you replied to, but 40-60 in an hour seems incredibly fast. I can manage 20-30 an hour depending on the text. I can't do more than 2 hours in a session without getting antsy, so I have to take periodic breaks if I go for more than 50 pages or so in a day.

I stop a lot to reflect on what I read, since more often than not it is thought provoking. I can find myself reading a sentence and spending 10 minutes thinking about what I just read. I don't aim for pages, just read everyday.

Yeah i admit that girl is good looking, but this girl is more beautiful. She is Colombian.

And does reading on the internet count? Not books but various webpages.

Homo

Is that your sister?

Lol no

i'm a phd and a teacher so reading is kind of my job. I'm in summery mood and spend around 2-4 hours every day, but when things get serious or deadlines come pushing I go for a whole work day of 8 hours.

Women with wrinkly foreheads are truly disgusting

Whats your PhD in? Can you manage to have a great work life balance while having and obtaining a PhD?

I wake up at 5:20 to eat breakfast and then I read until 9:00. I spend an hour on an exercise bike and then eat lunch. After that I read until dinner at 4, then I read until about 7. There's breaks of course but nothing longer than 20 minutes.

Every time I show my Goodreads people think I'm lying.

1 and a half hour on average. I just can't seem to read during the day, way too many distractions.

Show us.

Sometimes for like 5 or 6 hours, sometimes less than an hour. It all depends on the book and my mood. An hour should be easy, especially if you break it up in 20 minute bits.

40 pages in 2 hours? thats so slow

3 hours for 50 pages? you are very slow reader

>reading for more than 2 hours a day
hello neets

I read about 8 hours per day.

how many of them sucked? be honest

>treating books like xbox live achievements
We live in such a sick time.

I don't usually finish books I don't like so they don't count. After a few years of reading like this it is getting hard to find good fiction though.

What makes you think I treat reading books like an achievement? That's just how many books I've read this year because I spend most of my day reading.

what's your 3 wisest books?

Mark, Matthew, and John.

What's it like being a christfag retard?

I was reading an hour a day at the start of summer.
Now I'm down to 0 minutes a day.

Do the amount of books I read make you insecure? I always get some weird aggressive responses when I talk about my habits.

You read fiction and the bible, you are not wise

I never said anything about being wise. Where did that come from? I haven't shown anyone what I've read.

Jesus, fucking ESL much?

>28k pages for 88 books

That sounded huge at first but doing the math it's around 320 pages a books, seem reasonable.
What kind of books do you mostly read? I am myself at 33 books this year, mostly rather short and a few rather long, though I have a job.

What are your 10 best books of fiction this year? Of non-fiction? What about the 10 worst?

I can't seem to concentrate unless I read that quickly. Too slow and my mind wanders.
She is cute.
I haven't really thought about breaking it into chunks. I normally just read for a straight hour but that seems like a great idea.

Thanks for the tips.

I read all sorts of different things but I've mostly been into 19th century literature for the last year or so. Aristotle has been my main squeeze for the past few months. I'm not going to list ten books because that's too much work but I will say that Anna Karenina and War and Peace are the best things I've ever read. The Hitchhikers Guide is the worst. I hate it.

>Mark, Matthew, and John.

Is that really me saying I'm wise?

You read all that and 'mark matthew and john' are your wisest books?

Interesting, pretty diversified reads with a lot of Aristotle and Tolstoy so solid content. What did you think of Jünger and Chesterton? Wasn't Aristotle too hard at first?

Also I'm wondering how long you've been doing this. The books in your pic are good but often "entry-level" in that most people will have heard of them for the most part. If that's your first foray into binging literature over long periods of time you still have a lot of great fiction left. I can make recs to you if you want.

post your goodreads

I only started reading a few years ago so I am catching up in a sense. As far as Aristotle goes I've read a few of the major texts before and a lot of secondary stuff so he isn't completely foreign to me. I actually started with Aquinas which probably wasn't the most efficient use of my time but it has been helpful.

I don't use goodreads. I meant to ask you if you would recommend using it. I've just started typing by hands the list of books I've read this year, before that I didn't bother. I'm wondering if goodreads is worht it.
Anyway here is my reading list since january 2019:

January
- School of Flesh, Mishima
- Diary of Comtess Livia, Camillo Boito Senso (
- The Democracy of others, Amartya Sen
- Nana, Émile Zola
February
- Humanity, a moral history of the Twentieth Century, Jonathan Glover
- Messieurs les Ronds-de-Cuir, Courteline
- The Black Swan, Nassim Nicholas Taleb
- The Lady or the Tiger and other stories, Franck Stockton
March
- Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoievsky (Garnier Flamm. 1994, tr. Pierre Pascal)
- Farces and fables of the Middle Age
April
- Murderous stories, Bernard Quiriny
- Images of Thought, Walter Benjamin
- Essay on Self-Reliance, Ralph Waldo Emerson
- The Man Who Was Thursday, G. K. Chesterton
- La Curée, Emile Zola
May
- Novels (8 novels), Adolfo Bioy Casares
- Moonshine and other short stories, Guy de Maupassant
June
- Regain, Jean Giono

August

Most of those I read in French except Miller, Chesterton, Russell, Glover, Taleb and Rejali which I wrote in English. I wrote a long post commenting a few of those in an earlier thread, I can copypaste it if you want. I also learnt by heart about five hundred verses in English, but mostly famous little poems like The Second Coming or Do not go gently. But those are not necessarily the first I'd recommend.

*which I read in English
That about a lapsus.

Why is that a problem?

It depends on the book i sometime read 100 pages at easier books and 50 for the one that require thinking afterwards

because youre a christfag brainlet

im not the user you previously replied to but i asked about goodreads for your recs. what are your top 3 wisest books

Difficult question. Wisdom is even harder to assess than intelligence, but I'd say Molière's The Misanthrope, The Bhagavad Gita and Rousseau's Credo of the Savoyan Vicar. That's for whole books, you also get bits of wisdom in many books that are mostly not wise or nost about wisdom.

I would really like to make her my little pee pee poo poo girl. I would walk her around on a leash and she would go pee pee poo poo everywhere. I would tell her off and giver her spankies. Then we would cuddle in bed but no sex because God the almighty is watching us.
