Honestly, fuck you guys /lit/. You told me to read books, and I have never used a worse thing in my life.
They are paper, and then I have a hard time figuring out of I need to old them. I have a hard time folding them, especially if it's a hard one. Girls also don't care if I read them, they don't care if you're smart so why bother?
They are also confusing and hell on my eyes. And what is this shit about having to read a book left to right? All
books should read like manga. It is superior.

What should I buy from the LOA sale? I was thinking one of their Henry James volumes but I'm also considering William Dean Howells and Tocqueville. Thoughts?
Is this a recommended joint?

The Jamaican patois takes a little while to pick up but its a pretty quick read for something so long. The title is a joke. It isn't brief and a whole lot more than 7 people get killed.

Its a great book, probably one of the best in contemporary /lit/, along the lines of Bolano and Sebald. It is also a fun crime novel.i bought a first ed first print signed hoping for an hbo show
it really is rather a good novel
what is the best way to retain information when reading?
Write it word for word until you get it right.
That's the best way, but most time-consuming.
Otherwise just sit in a quiet place without distractions. Read slow.
What's it like in the ivies? Do people actually want to learn or is it a bunch of dumb fucks partying?

Well are you familiar with philosophy? The Greek classics? I thought not you are clearly not as intellectually developed as I am, so I will try to put it in words you understand. You see like how Sisyphus tricked Death itself, I have tricked and chained up the betting agencies. They can do no harm to me, I am invincible to them as I steal their profits away. You however are nothing, forced to toil day after day pushing your rock up the hill so you can scrape together enough money to throw away on one of your pathetic accumulators. Enjoy rolling the boulder there sheep, someone needs to give these agencies the wealth they give to me.
Philosophy general? Philosophy general. What are you reading right now? Camus here.

What are some good books about detective work and mystery solving?
Anyone read this? Thoughts? I'm thinking about queuing this up next.
Want to read this and 'The Slynx', which is also NYRB.
It's shit. First 50 pages involve a black kid and some other guys playing pool. It's shit.

Ending really got me in the feels. Don't read the intro until after you read the book. Main character starts off kind of repugnant but he grew on me.
What books can you recommend me regarding psychotherapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy stuff maybe

This morning I decided to read some more of the fountainhead, a book I am enjoying. I decided that even though I pressure myself to read many books, I would read in a relaxed manner to fully enjoy it. I did enjoy it and read for about 35 pages.
What if I don't feel like reading more when I get home? How can I read only 35 pages a day when the book is 700 pages long? Reading little bits is the mark of a pleb. Do I need to cultivate a better attention span? Or do I need to disregard enjoyment and read as long as possible because fun and boredom are dumb concepts?
What if I feel like starting a new book as well? Does that mean I dislike the one I'm reading?

Just do what you want and enjoy OP and stop caring if it's plebbish. Nobody is watching you read or going to hold you to some standard.
Wanting to start a new book doesn't mean you dislike the first unless you know you dislike the first- there's no subconscious magic at play.
