I'm kinda in the same boat
my kindle thingy is due to arrive the day after tomorrow and and even though I already have like fifteen books lined up for it I wonder where do I get new stuff.
Should I just get a what.cd account or whatever it's called now? Bibliotik is within my reach but just too much of a bother to maintain

Amazon has a lot of older classics and public-domain stuff for free if you look long enough. They're not fancy, but it's less shelf space taken up by them.

It's such a fucking pain to prefer hardbacks.
Seventy-fucking-eight dollars for a book kill me now.

How many ECs do you think a single person can fit into a single year? I've had two already since January 1st and I can feel another one coming on already. My record is four (2012) but I think this year I'm going to try and beat it. Is there a maximum to the number of ECs you can have either in one year or over the course of an entire lifetime?
Relevant book recommendations appreciated as always.

I want to start reading Fantasy Books but I can't decide where to begin.
I've seen two books that attract me: The Name Of the Wind (Patrick Rothfuss) and Neverwinter (A collection by RA Salvatore)
I'm open to suggestions

I find myself purchasing a lot of books, and starting on one and reading several chapters or so. Then I won't read it for ages, and lose track of what happened, so I start on a new book or start again.
How do I remain consistent with reading and keeping up with what's happening?

How about not being an autistic faggot?
Has that never occurred to you before? It wouldn't surprise me since your mother was a whore and your father was a charlatan.
I realize that since I am an intellectual and you are just a part of the lower plebeian class, you may have difficulties understanding my superior technique in regards to the writing and understanding of the literature I consume daily. Don't expect to get on my level any time soon, I was reading Gravity's Rainbow and Infinite Jest before you even came out of your father's sack. Good luck reading those novels without their companion guides like I did. You would probably be too stupid to understand the plot without it.
I've already wasted too much of my valuable reading time responding to this infantile post. You are a faggot OP.

Read on a schedule, and only stick to 1 or 2 books at a time.

Is it bad taste for me to like Titus more than Othello? I find Titus so much more intriguing; the way the state is shown as so fundamentally negative combined with the distorted treatment of classical literature make it so much more interesting to me than Othello.
I even like 12th Night more because I like Feste better than Iago.
Is Othello just overrated or am I missing something here?

Othello is overrated, and Aaron is a much better villain than Iago.
>>
The writing and verse is more mature and free in Othello. More use of enjambment and other devices to make it read smoother.
Also the characters/plot are more human and realistic in Othello.
Taste is subjective, so if you like end stopped rhymed lines that's fine.
Lots of people like Titus andronicus because it is violent and bloody.
Personally it's one of my least favorite plays and my least favorite tragedy.
>>
>>9104739
I enjoyed Titus Andronicus a lot too, OP. Not yet read Othello but I plan on doing so by the end of this year, along with The Tempest.

Want to read and be /lit/ but I really hate reading. I can't read more than 3 paragraphs before I get bored. I even get sleepy in the middle of the day if I try to read.
What do?
