Get on my fucking level

desu tho 2 of those books were less than 100 pages

I've read about 15 so far that I can think of off the top of my head but that was mainly last week and the first week of January, I was drunk most of the rest of the time.

I've haven't read a book since November, I started Dubliners three weeks ago but I'm barely reading a short story a night. It's good and I really like it, but for some reason I have like 0 motivation for reading at the moment. Weird because before November I was reading a novel a week.

I've finished 26 books so far this year. However as of March I will move from part-time employment to fulltime studies so I assume I won't be able to maintain this rate.

>>9135429
>tfw I'm a full-time student who is doing an internship and also has a part-time job

I'd rather sleep than read desu

does "the first half of the book of the new sun" count as one or two books?

>>9135474
Personally I'd say no. You have to read the two of them to consider it having read the book.

>>9135474
Half, obviously. It's in the title.

>>9135429
does reading a book collection count as several seperate books?
does the same count for novelletes?(short novels ie ~100 pages)
what about short stories
how short does a story have to be for the collection to count as one single book

>>9135488
Just google the average length of a book in pages, and judge it by that.

>>9135463
what

>>9135429

I failed W&P readthrough. Fuck my life.

>>9135488
if its a collection of books it counts as however many books there are. like lotr would count as 3.
if its a collection of short stories or novelletes, its a single book. just use whatever the collection is named.
>>9135474
one.

>>9135646
It sort of seems like your replies directly contradict each other

>>9135674
well shit. it seems like the books of the new sun are more like novellas to me, but apparently they're like right on the line between book and novella.
id go with one still, but that's just cause i think 400 pages is more like full sized book than 200.

Every time I attempt to keep up with a good reads list I think to myself "This is fucking stupid." and quit. Desu famalampai

i´d say i certainly am taking them in fully.
i just tend to get obsessive with books that i enjoy to the degree that i sometimes barely sleep.

and i fear i have to admit that not all are 900 page long works

>>9135899
Did you enjoy Middlemarch?

>>9136022
Since the Total War game came out I have really gotten into the schlock lore of fantasy battles.

>>9135899

I know they add in pages read at the end of the year when you look at your statistics but they really should have it visible all year round right next to the amount of books read.

>>9136262
They do in "Stats"

>>9136256
Recent Total Wars have been trash. Shogun 2 was the last good one and imo the ebst Total War.

I hope they go back to a cool time period and don't revisit something again or go disgusting Fantasy.

>War to German Unification 1871 would be awesome I bet

>>9136272
I respectfully disagree. Warhammer suffers from a lack of political complexity true, and the setting is niche, but insofar as tight, optimized coding, loading times, end turn times, battlefield AI, and compelling army compositions it really shines. I tried going back to playing RTR: EB and the turn times, even on a modern laptop were shit.

>reading the Complete works of Plato
>already 4 or 5 dialogues this year but it counts as one books only.

All short. Haven't been reading much at all.

>>9135488
All of them count as as many books as you want, because goodreads isn't a fucking judge robot carefully analyzing data on what you read, but a website in which YOU, the user, can input whatever you want.

If you read "Hamlet" or "The Complete Works of Shakespeare", the only difference is what you put up on the site.

Actually, I do it all the time, did it to Isaac Babel not too long ago.

>>9136256
I love both WH and WH40K's looks, but I really don't wanna get into autistic levels of lore, and most of the games seem too dependend on that.

What do?

>but I really don't wanna get into autistic levels of lore
why aren´t you just reading the books then? that would be far less autistic then reading the wiki for hours.

>>9136478
because i can stop reading the wiki and not do it for months. investing into the books is a waste of time.

>>9136480
but they are actually good books that you can read without hunting for lore

Jesus Christ, I didn't even know people did this. Are you fucking crazy? Only do this if you're jumping in mid series or something.

>>9136477
I don't think you can get to it by just navigating the site.

/user/year_in_books/2017/ then your account number which you'll find in the url if you go to My Books.

>>9136480
this sounds pretty autistic desu

Read 8 so far, stuff like Anna Karenina, Shakespeare's sonnets, the sound and the Fury. I'm enjoying 2017.

Where do I start this challenge?

>>9136651
goodreads

I've only read four books but in fairness I spent all of January reading the Bible

I've read Kokoro and No Longer Human

Kokoro was great and NLH was decent

>>9136676
Is there a way to add books because the one I'm reading is not in their database.

Last year I completed 150 books, so I assume I'll get past 50 books. I should say though since I live in Japan which means I'm working full-time, studying, and getting shit faced on the weekend I can make guess I won't hit 150 books of last year.

>>9136256
>Did you enjoy Middlemarch?
Yes, it was excellent. But I really love Eliot's characterisation and insight

>>9135429

Just do what I do and cheat by reading comic books in addition to novels.

>>9138783
kek, yeah that's me too.

18/30. Probably should have aimed higher.

>>9138783

I keep promising myself that I'll sit down and finish a damned book before moving to the next, but I never do.

Fuck. I'll never finish them at this rate.
