>Want to read 200 books in 2017
>Tfw I'm 1 book behind schedule
>Tfw most of the books that I have to read are 500 pages + and I'll struggle to read one every day

It is a stupid thing to do m8. Drop it. Focus on reading a good amount each day. These book goals just make Pepe perturbed and put him off long books for the dumbest reason.

No m8. In reality I should read a thousand books this year to make up for lost time.

The situation is absolutely urgent

In fact I should be reading instead of shitposting on /lit/.

I'll be back in 1 book lad

>quantifying reading

Xou got fucking spooked, just read 100pages or whatever you have time for each day and try to stick to that. Reading is not a fucking video game, but if you are too autist to drop the whole idea at least stick to page number so that you won't have to spam short stories like a retard.

Learn to subvocalize.

>>8996213
This works best for poetry. Reading 2 poems a day.

>>8996455
Do you even know what subvocalization is? Unless you are literally mentally challenged you already do this, only retards actually move their lips when they read.

I do the same 1 or 2 chapter a day thing too, but I'm always reading 2-3 books at a time. This way I don't ever get bored with the same book.

going at a nice pace of 100 pages a day. not too taxing, and over time a lot of stuff gets read. I'm going to die and I don't know when, so I'm not going to ignore my interest in reading these books and let it languish by only going a few pages a day. Though that's not to say I let it get in the way of life.

I became an avid reader like three months ago and I can't stop. I stopped watching tv and I don't spend much time on 4chan anymore.

Here's how I did it.

-Remember the average person reads like zero books a year. If you read 5 pages a day, you are 5 pages above the average person

-Don't force yourself to read. Commit to read 5 pages a day. I swear after three days you'll feel like reading more and after a month or so you should be reading 50-100 pages a day for pleasure

-Read various books at the same time. When I grab a difficult book or one that makes me sleepy I grab another and switch. This should refresh your head. Keep them thematically different. I read economics and fiction.

-It isn't a race. Reading slowly won't make you sleepy that fast. Try to acknowledge what books are for you to read fast and which aren't.

-Buy the physical copies. When you get the books from your own money you'll feel the need to read them to avoid the feel of wasting your money.

-Start with books highly discussed here so you feel motivated to discuss.

I've been waiting for this meme.

>>8996636
you sure are a wicked memester, i'll tell you that

>>8996213
Depends of what I'm reading...for example right now I've to finish Fantastic Voyage by Asimov. Even if it's a small book I'm struggling with this garbage

>>8996636
This is a positive meme.

>>8996734
That's what you get for wasting your time on genre trash.

>>8996636

No point asking lit about classic sci fi. We all just meme the same western canon books.

>>8996443

I don't spam short stories faggot, I just try to read shorter books in between longer ones.

I am, though I've been considering reading a capter from a different book for each day of the week. What do you guys think about it? Has anyone ever tried, had this experience?

I read a chapter or two every year desu wa.
