I read the Incerto series by Taleb, which was four trash books.

One calculus textbook, one Discrete Maths textbook, one proof book, and two programming books.

Lolita, Mythology by Hamilton, and East of Eden.

So maybe their not all great, but shut up anyway anon

12 per month is absurd, unless youre doing nothing else all day

I've read about 200 pages. Considering I'm fairly new to reading, I don't think that's too bad.

>>9697406
I've read 5, but mostly short stories: Bartleby the scrivener (Melville), El Lazarillo de Tormes, Mishima's spiritual lessons, A Lear of the Steppes (Turghienev) and Novecento (Baricco)

Lol retard I was doing plenty in addition - I was just extremely strict about spending every extra second reading:
>pooping, bathing (KOBO H20 masterrace)
>riding passenger, flying, public transit
>waiting at stoplights, in line for coffee, waiting for my coffee to brew at home
>getting ready for bed
>etc etc

In addition I made to sure to alwasy have a paperback in my back pocket, and bring my ereader in a backpack if applicable. I was only using the internet very briefly, usually only for math questions at stack exchange.

All these dick weighing posts ought to be supplemented with how much time you spend doing something social, working out etc.

It is impressive and I do admire and slightly envy those who get through a lot of books. But it seems a Pyrrhic victory allotting, presumably, upwards of 90 hours a month reading works artfully expounding the human condition but not actually experiencing it fully yourself. A sardonic twist considering how many here are agape with thinkers like the Greeks and Heidegger.

Now I'll back my book. Cheers.
