Just emerging from stage 6, it's a horrible feeling having to relearn how to enter the deep reading focus. Since i've used so much internet the very way I read has diminished into an unfocused 'skimming' which makes it hard to enter the meditative state of absorption. Funny thing, right after I started reading again I came across "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" by Nicholas Carr which basically described the very problem I was going through. I think it's a very important read and a real emerging problem.

>>9484490
I like how the artist has no self-awareness and thinks that these stages that they personally went through in any way represent a progression shared by others or that these behaviors represent discrete stages at all.

>>9484490
i'm at the stage where i haven't read a book since i was 12

1-4 when I was younger to be le xD so different. Never did 5 and then 6 when I started college. Pretty much at 8 all the time now

That picture takes one person's personal experience with books and reading and applies it to readers in general. What absolute dogshit.

Hanging on to 5 but likely slipping into 6.

>>9484504

This

I go from 2 to 6 to 7. Repeat

>>9484490
Definitely at 8, as I usually buy 20-30 every month.

Though I'm on the path to 9 right now, with having children.

Step 8 should come after Step 3.

>>9484490
This isn't tumblr, you faggot

>>9485478
I think steps 3-4 are usually in high school and college, so most wouldn't have the financial ability or space to hoard.

>>9484490
I'm passing books off to the next generation because I don't have room for them and Kindle exist. I don't have one but I really want.
Does anyone know if you can put pdf files into it and read them? I don't feel like buying the books I've owned again. Are they podcast compatible?
What about audible?

>>9484490
reddit. people who want to be 'readers' should kill themselves along with the people who want to be 'writers'

>>9485502
As far as I'm away PDF do work with Kindle. But try and get EPUB if you can, they're a bit better.

>>9485514
Thanks I'll look into it. However I do have an audible subscription and I heard you can switch from audio to reading with a kindle which sound cool.

>>9484490
Well fuck I was gonna smugly post about some Reddit-tier "this is so me!" shenanigans but I'm going into stage five and the comic's been accurate so far.

>>9484490
Rediscovering books. Went off them for 3 or so years due to social stresses. And Skyrim.

Now I find vidya boring, so I am currently 300 pages into War and Peace with some Huxley and Wordsworth lined up.

>>9484863
say this about movies and you're right. Books are never boring desu senpai

>>9484490
I thought this was some pathetic meani gless reddit art but why did it hit so close to home? Am I a pseud?

1. Good old days when reading was literraly thrilling and new.
2. Reading 5 hours a day, best time of my life.
3. Start university, read more nonfiction and attend book clubs.
4. Failing uni, losing all friends and gf going full neet while reading.
5. Hell
6. Depression and apathy

I'm stuck at 6 help me lit.

All my knowledge about books stems from Wikipedia summaries.

The stage where I read the top /lit/core and then stopped reading because there are no more good books

I have 6 every 3 months or so.

8-9

Solidly between 7 and 8 at 26 years of age.

>>9485822

It hurts

>>9484490
I've been stuck at six for the past four or so years. Used to read 50+ books a year, haven't even touched one in over a year.

How is the phase supposed to end?

>>9484499

>>9484490
7 rn, but ive been through all except 9 and 5.

>>9484790
Cool, thats me in the white

>>9484490
Either 7 or 1

you're doing it wrong if you are anything but 5

>>9484490
6.
But substitute meditation for the tv.

>>9484499

5 with a constant spattering of 1, 6 and 8. On the odd occasion I get to do 9, which is lovely.

>>9484490
This is honestly very accurate.

6 desu

>>9484490
Just started into stage 8 my dude

>>9487658

7 and 8. I want to read and reread paradise lost all the time but there are a lot of new unread books in my house.

>>9487670
No, I just thought it better described my feeling as opposed to 'nice.'

>>9484490
Between 7 & 8, part of my rediscovery has been ravenously consuming and purchasing more books.

Who the fuck goes through 3-5, that's some autismo shit right there.

For me, 5 came be4 4. I'm at 7 right now, I don't think I'll ever move to 8. Definitely not 9. I will never die. Or grow old.

Just kill me now.

/lit/ comes between 6 and 7

>>9488774
>Who the fuck goes through 3-5,
I did it, and it happened because it turned somewhere from one school to the next I just stopped being able to make friends. So there was a good two years where saying hi to someone as I passed them in the hallway would be the highlight of my week.

My grades also sucked. I overcame my crushing sense of inferiority by deciding my patrish e/lit/ism made me better than everyone else.

I was at six but now I'm back to four
