>I-I can still be a man of letters! I read for 20 minutes during my morning commute, 30 minutes during lunch and another 20 minutes on the way back home! Then I have 1 hour to spend on one of reading, internet, cooking a proper meal, going to the gym, socialising with friends, watching movies, or any other hobby!
Oh, but my wagie friend, what about the time necessary to do some writing of your own, the critical discussion and writing about the book you're currently reading, sombre and quiet reflection on your life and the times, reading the latest scholarly articles, and re-reading older works to actually analyse them rather than rush through them in 20 minute chunks like a businessman who thinks he can break the majesty of the Western canon in to "Getting Things Done" bite-size pieces. Not to mention the time consuming trial and error approach to discovery of new works and lines of thought that are *essential* for anyone who doesn't want to simply follow commoditised curricula and reading lists and who wants to make an intellectual contribution themselves. Pray tell, my wagie friend, do you seriously consider the act of reading to be all that is necessary in an intellectual's life? Surely not?

Not bad, except I'd rather have equal time. I work two 6 hour shifts a day on a tug, 28 days on 14 off. [Spoiler]$12/hr[/spoiler]

As a NEET who actually just reads all day, exercises quite regularly, and just started reading a textbook on finance and investing, I wouldn't mind having a job for some spending money. Maybe I could work at a bookstore or something. Oh, woe is me!
