You need to work on your "fuck it"s.

I'm doing Greeks. Whenever I can't decide between philosophical texts, I just grab a play more or less at random.

Grab whatever book is literally closest to you and begin reading.

Stop right now.

Please read "How to Read a Book" by Mortimer J. Adler.

I fucking promise you, you have been numbed to how to properly read by all the videogames and media you have consumed all your life.

This book changed my life, it's like learning how to "lift weights" with your brain, in order to achieve a higher understanding.

Don't be afraid to read for entertainment, but please get a grasp on the art of reading itself before trying to act "patrician" in this board by reading some heavy works. There are a lot of people who read lots but understand little.

Noice, thanks anon. I was at a half priced books store today and saw a section about educating yourself to read. Guess I should've gotten that.

Is this book actually useful for people who have non-retard reading levels? I was reading at a 12+ level in 4th grade, will I still learn anything?

OP, just do what I do, listen to audio books. So much easier.

I'm working my way through the Night Circus.
