Started a bit late, but did the majority of my reading in august/september.

>tfw 37/52
4 behind schedule
Out of my goodreads friends who set a challenge for themselves, I'm 19 ahead of the nearest one.

>>8636538
Think you'll finish?

Hopefully. If I really hit the gas during Thanksgiving and the last two weeks of December I might even get a little extra in.I plan to finish Anna Karenina by Saturday and I have a few very short books checked out of the library right now for a paper I'm writing, so that should pad me by a few. Crazy, I blew a 7 book lead from around May.

Which book you read this year was your favourite?

>>8636550
I can't believe I'm actually reading this. It's repulsive.

>>8636554
Either this one or Teatro Grottesco

>>8636550
Dedicate a weekend or two and you can finish a couple of short ones or a longer book.

What are your reading habits like, consistent or in bursts?

>>8636556
>mad that people set goals encouraging them to read more
>>8636568
bursts

Actually hit it recently. It's so low though that it can't be countered as a challenge.

I need to read more consistently. I can go a while without reading anything, but then read a huge amount in a short amount of time.

>>8636580
>bursts

You'll probably do fine then.

Mind sharing what short books you have lined up?

>>8636585
Understanding Audiences and the Film Industry
The Fright of Real Tears: Krzysztof Kieslowski Between Theory and Post-Theory
Kieslowski on Kieslowski
complete Elizabeth Bishop

Looks like I set the bar too low.

>>8636441
Fucking this. Last year I caught myself deliberately reading short books in order to reach my goal before realizing how retarded I was and stopping.

>>8636448
Haha 97/52 catch up pleb

83/60

I've read a lot of fantastic works this year, it is the best one yet. The highlights of fiction are Flannery O'Connor, Shusaku Endo and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
Non fiction is getting tense, I'm burning with a passion for this stuff, Copleston, MacIntyre, Belloc, Feser. Really, a fantastic year. I'll soon finish what I've left of Aristotle and slowly start reading the Summa.

>>8637118
I am reading silence by endo right now. I am half way in and really like it so far.

>>8637177
The last third is really where it shines. It's an ecstasy of suffering.

>>8636433
I've read almost 40 books this year, and my goal is to finish the bible, the greeks, and the romans by the end of the year

>>8636448

>counting all the plays separately and not together

Unless you're reading heavily annotated scholarly works that add an extra 100 to every page you're just being a shithead who needs to stretch out his "book" count.

>>8637118
Where should one start or continue with Solzhenitsyn? I've read Day in the Life and I liked it quite a bit, I'm eyeing the Gulag Archipelago, though I'm not sure where to go from there

>>8637622
The First Circle is among my favorite books, would definitely reccomend

I was lowballing it, though I also read a lot of novellas.

>>8636433
9 / 10, but two of those books were Gravity's Rainbow and Ulysses.

>>8637622
I jumped into Gulag Archipelago right away, but One Day and First Circle are better options.

270 pages per book on average. 2016 has been my most /lit/ year. I'll miss being a neet.

>>8636518
>comic books

get out

>>8639052
More like shitty German novellas

>>8636466
Based, you don't have to read for the rest of the year. I always love that feeling.
