Hey guys, I'm aware I come off as a pseud, but here goes nothing.
How good does your reading experience have to be to say you read a book?
If for some reason your speed was massively lowered while reading a book, or your comprehension, can you still give a nice little "check" on my list of "ways to impress people?" I'm kind of frustrated, as I'm taken up mental instead of (only) physical collection, which leads to be being unfortunately pedantic about my reading experience. For instance, I just started using white noise AND rain instead of just rain for noise blocking, and my speed (and my comprehension as well-but previously I just reread when I didn't understand.) so it feels like I didn't get the most out of past reading. Does anyone else constantly get this feel? Same thing happened when I started looking up words instead of just glossing over them.

to claim to have read something, you don't need much; sometimes, if you're lucky, you don't even need to know the title. i hope this helps.

the first step to becoming more than a pseud is realizing everyone is a pseud

I don't need this shit. I come here everyday, and all I want to be is /lit/ approved. I've given up relationships- friends and possible apparatus for the loss of my interminate virginity. And guess what? I still get shit on by fuckers like you. I post an edgy, "ironically appreciated" teenage girl for you racist pedos and what do I get? Shit on.
"haha XD this guys crazy haha"
"haha lets just deliberately misinterpret what hes saying, I guess that would be /wacky/"
I've dropped hobbies for this shit! When I read lolita I deliberately identified with Humbert Humbert so I wouldn't be just another pleb normalfag. And I haven't even read Lolita!
TL:DR: Go fuck yourselves.

What if being shit on is just your fate no matter what you do?
Ever think of that, tough guy?

bump tho i seriously need an out on this its driving me insane

On the off chance this isn't a troll, OP, I bestow upon you the /lit/ seal of approval so long as you can pass this one simple test:
Be able to quote from the book under appropriate circumstances.
You don't have to (and probably shouldn't) actually do this, but if you're confident in your ability to do so that should be assuage your doubts that your time reading has been well spent.

Stop trying to fuck with his head, memorizing quotes is pleb
>>
>>8902879
'Memorizing' something and remembering it naturally when the information is useful are two different things. I suggest the latter as a good test of whether the book was really internalized.
That said, you will look like a cock if you start quoting books at people, so don't do it out loud.

Give pic related a try. Very helpful.

>>8902893
"Internalizing" isn't why you read books, autist.
>>
>>
>>8902988
I can't say any specific quotes from any if not all books I've read.
>>
>>8902988
In fact I can't really quote anything in general. if I like a line, I'll write it down
