>It's really designed more like a piece of music than like a book, so a lot of it consists of leitmotifs and things that curve back

He meant the Oulipo writers and Thomas Bernhard and such, as opposed to American meganovelists.

They're the same. Love's precisely what keeps Death alive, as it were; and Death what makes Love so vitally interesting, for awhile... So you see? Love really does conquer All!

>>9164343
No. Entropy conquers even the universe.

>>9164458
Are you suggesting that the sci-bot terminology conquers the lit, which is to say, the human? Personally, I think the neo-atheism obsession with G was a dodge not to have to consider the non-entity that moves Science itself: Mammon. That we can gather no evidence of Mammon's actual existence doesn't negate the fact that the Mamster bitch-lords it ueber das Sci-Sci forever and aye! So there!

I don't understand why you would do this.
Part of reading is savoring the prose. How can you fully appreciate a book without taking it in one piece at a time?
Don't subvocalize when you read Joyce Meyers, maybe, but for actual literature it just makes it better.

>>9172564
yeah, it's bullshit and robs you of an inner voice to help integrate new rhythms and styles into your own foundation of thoughts. subvocalization is an incredible tool and should never be lost. if there are any people who don't subvocalize, they read as robots do, and doubtlessly have never had the joy of reading a book as it was written.

IQ tests only tell how good people are at answering IQ tests
statistics are a meme: see democracy
just start with the greeks and lift weights

>>9167194
As we all know, IQ is pretty much determined by what race you're in. If you're skrewed, you are skrewed for good, nothing you can do dumbhead

>t. brainlet
Memeing aside, intelligence is something you're born with. Reading may provide you with extra knowledge/perspective, but it's not gonna make you more intelligent.

>he wants Cool Girl, who is basically the girl who likes every fucking thing he likes and doesn’t ever complain

A novel thought.

I have only read 1 book so far, but I started like 3 weeks ago and I'm feeling really motivated now.

Goal was 26 books so one every two weeks. So far I'm at 9 so I'm considering increasing my goal to 50 since that's my current pace.

>>9165773
I've read 2, but to be fair, one of them was Infinite Jest.
