Reading rate is for pseuds.
Reading is foremostly a productive act, not merely a receptive act. Your concern should always be on the quality of your reading and let quantity be what it is. One great reading of one great book is worth more than the banal ability to recall a thousand

He just gave credit to the guy who translated the Tunnel rather than the original author...

Yes, he is great at perspective-forming. I met him once and he reminded me of a T-Rex.

ASS TO ASS

why does it have to be a penguin classic? do you want a postmodern novel or do you want like a non-fiction thing about postmodernism?

>>9939106
Is this advanced postmodern irony?

Great Expectations is my personal favorite. David Copperfield as a semi-close second.

It only gets better

i'm tired of seeing the word cuck on 4chan, in literature, and in life. Everywhere I am, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo. I feel like Leopold Bloom only I shouldn't because i'm in a confident relationship. Too bad I can't go a day without seeing or thinking about cuck, cuck, cuck. Anything I read has a cuckold. Anna Karenina, Ulysses, Homer, fucking MARTIAL, Ovid, DeLillo (and it doesn't help that even Babette of all people cucks him along with MARIAN like he's laughing in my face), Hemingway, Steinbeck, Cervantes, the comments about Aurelius, Proust... I wouldn't be surprised if by re-reading the Divine Cuckedy i would find something (Beatrice fucked Virgil didn't she?). She fucked Virgil and cucked Dante. Fuck and cuck. Cuck, cuck, cuckoo. And don't even get me fucking STARTED on Shakespeare. Literally every play, except insofar as I know, THE TEMPEST GOD SAVE IT SOUL, has at least a line mentioning the cuckold's horns one way or another (oh I marked them). Please somebody cleanse me of this mind virus. Thank God i'm at least half as manly enough as Petruchio or any Shakespeare hero or how Martial or Socrates or Aristotle or Epictetus or Sam Hyde would aspire to be, or else I would probably end up blowing my brains out.

If it's pic related, I dumped an epub copy on https://expirebox.com/download/848a26213ea18925b7e3c6341bf34ee0.html

(I sort of just used skytorrents to find it)

Oh shit, Viet Thanh Nguyen has released a new book? The Sympathiser was excellent, so if it's as good as that I would recommend pulling the trigger.
