Reading is so boring

>>9125030
Try reading progressively longer short stories, or if you find reading completely boring, then don't read. Why are you asking /lit/ on how not to read?

Good one, go tell /a/ that their plot lines are too dense.

It's extremely convenient and easy. Also, this isn't the right fucking question.
It's actually amazing to me you would post something so stupid.

>there not more efficient and convenient means of entertainment and education than consuming large books?
Books tend to cost around five dollars and provide around eight hours of entertainment.

Vidya gaems tend to cost around fifty dollars for the same amount of time.

Movies cost around fifteen dollars for two hours.

So, books are the most efficient in terms of financial cost.

In terms of convenience, you can fit hundreds of books in a e-reader, and you don't really need advanced hardware. With movies, you need to worry about audiovisual quality. And don't even get me started on vidya.

A lot of people are turned off from books because of banal high/middle school English crap. I know I wouldn't bother reading if all literature had to offer was 'The Catcher in the Rye' with an obligatory study guide and essay prompt. But, luckily for us, it has something for everyone.

Truly, no. Audio/visual media are vastly more inefficient. With books it's all there plain on the page, you don't have to wait for it to come to you.

If you don't find books entertaining and edifying, don't read them.

This is the definition of myopia, though

Entertainment: Yes
Education: No

Think about it, what other medium allows for a dense mass of complex information to be transmitted as efficiently as books?

You can go as fast or as slow as you need, changing the speed instantaneously even from sentence to sentence according to how difficult it is for you to parse. If you realize you have missed something you can go back to the point simply by moving your eyes, and the same if, in light of a new sentence, you realize that you have maybe misinterpreted one of the past sentences.
