How does /lit/ decide which books they're going to read next?

It normally ends up being whatever I'm in the mood for on the day I finish reading the current book. Which is normally unfortunate because my best laid reading plans get waylaid and postponed.

I usually decide upon it months in advance. I wish I could comprehend and read things a bit faster, otherwise I would have gotten to Newton's Principia by now, or the Tractatus Logico Philosophicus.

Or even the Almagest.

Why waste time reading books when you can shitpost on /lit/ instead?

I started with Greeks, so it must be old and originally in Greek.

I usually have a stack organised of books I've been meaning to read for sometime as well as books that will scratch my itch for a certain type of literature, whether it's genre fiction or whatever.

I often end up promising people I'll read books they've lent me. As it stands I have about 30 books to read through like this.
