How many of their chapters do you read per day?

>>9049114
I read 1-2 Cantos a day, but I pair them with relevant commentary and discussion as well because I really want to know exactly what Dante was thinking and writing when he wrote the thing. I'm reading along with /lit/ for Don Quixote so about 4 chapters a day. I'll read a little of my Middle English helper and some of a tale if I feel like it in a day, and read about an act or so of a tragedy a day, but Shakespeare and Chaucer are really for whenever I'm in the mood.

Why do you people do this to yourselves? Read one at a time. When you juggle so many at the same time it takes forever and you feel like shit about lagging behind and spinning your wheels. When I stopped juggling books my overall reading went up tremendously. I'll have a false start occasionally and have to switch to another book, but that should be the exception.

Not counting the ones firmly on the discarded pile

>Revelation Space, scify
>The Wood Beyond the World, proto fantasy with amusing naughty parts
>The Hidden Life of Trees, nonfiction, hippieish scientific look at trees, close of being discarded
>The Cathedral, Huysmans, early in.
>Gomorrah, nonfiction, Italian mafia thing about who made oscar dress for angelina jollie
>Korea something, nonfiction picture thingy about the war.
>Swords and Swordsmen, only two chapters left, but they're about English/American swords that I'm not at all interested in, so I may not return to it. I can recommend the work, though.
>I'm Charlotte Simmons, on skipping and fast read mode and still close of discarding it.
>Divine Comedy, the main read, the rest are mere distractions as I go through this one slowly
>Winters Tale, something is not clicking with this one, halfway through, but it may be the first that I may skip on my Shakespeare quest.
