I don't really read contemporary literature, maybe some Botho Strauß or something. My protection is, i stick to classics and obviously i don't read any female authors, i had to read some in school and to me this was enough.

I once killed a man.

It's the kind of thing you start reading when you're about 12 and then follow through until it eventually ends. I enjoyed it up to the middle, and then it turned into a clusterfuck.

How much do you even absorb? For a while I used to listen to Zizek while playing Europa Universalis, a game that you can and will pause and isn't really hectic at all, and still I felt like I couldn't fully take in what I was hearing at times (also I was missing out on the hand gestures but that's beside the point).
