Give me your current list of poetry and I'll make sure your teacher thinks you're the next Harold Bloom.

Dunno where this subvocalization meme started, but if you are trying to skim through books just use your finger and start using it as a guide to build up speed.

I just sincerely hope you are not doing this on actual literature.

>wanting to take most of the pleasure and aesthetic beauty out of reading because of a meme

Guys, I just want to make the most of my ever shrinking free time.
Anything faster than subvocalization equals loss of comprehension?

Probably.

Especially if you want to look smart in comment sections.

Sure, why not?

Studies have shown that heavy readers have increased empathy for others, so you shouldn't read anything. desu, 4chan will probably make you a psychopath faster than any book.

>>8155766
what? I think there is a bit of misconception what a psychopath is. But they are highly successful because they lack shame, the capacity for negative self-perception, and yes consideration for the interests of others.

You don't know what you would do in x situation even if you were in x situation. You only know what you did do.

It's not a fallacy.

There is no alternative to experience.

He "reads" a book a day and does it like this? Heh.

it's honestly not even a bad idea to do what he's saying, as long as at some point you actually read the book.

what he's describing is basically the first step of most speed reading strategies, except he's omitted the part where you actually read the book. because who has time for that? lmao

You're special.

I wouldn't know, but what I do know is that this thread will degenerate into /pol/ memeing pretty quickly.

haven't read any of his books, but i can attests most of us israelis hate the shit out of him because he is an asskisser of the worst kind, his most acclaimed novel was adapted to a film recently starring natalie portman and it was pretty shit. he's pretty acclaimed as an author though so i don't know what to suggest to you OP

first book I read in French. Pretty good, but it's still a children's novella.

dunno, never really been too interested. machiavelli was kinda a hack

Branagh does great asides and monologues but in acting how mad Hamlet is, I think he was a bit too Jolly.

Yes, absolutely. He struggles with the realization of the idealized image he has of himself, a valiant Warrior King like his father, by delving into selfish, narcissistic over contemplation of his nature and procrastination. Hamlet over analyzes and is consumed with inaction
