WWAW with reading?

[EraGodless]

Re: the Kindle, I've started downloading epubs off torrents and reading them there. I'm usually in the middle of one on the Kindle and another in hard copy. I've stopped buying books because who knows if I'll ever even read them. I probably have close to a hundred I still need to get through that I paid for.

Borrowing library books on your Kindle is PFG, too. Only problem is if it's over 500 pages and you can't get through it in time. You have to renew it, but if someone else is waiting for that book, you have to give it up. And by the time it becomes available again, I don't care anymore.

I find my reading retention is much better with physical books.

I desperately need to make more time for reading and put the fucking phone down

Listening to records, reading books and riding my bicycle are my favourite pastimes, i try to read everyday. Instead of reading this place so often i need to pick up a book instead.

I go months without reading then will read a whole load of books back to back over a few days or weeks.

It takes patience and concentration to really enjoy a good book. If I don't think I've got the time to commit then I won't even bother picking one up.

Audiobooks are good for the in between days. Not quite the same, but probably better for my brain than listening to 2 hack shock jocks and their wormy sideboob every day.

I love to read. Although I don't know what has happened to me over the last few years but I just can't read fiction anymore.

Love reading biographies, histories and mafia books.

Got into the Archaix. Guy sounds like a Texas hick tho.

Guy uses a lot of numerology and kinda has the simulation theory thing worked out. Annunaki, the Great Pyramid as the tree of knowledge, the Phoenix cycle and the return of the Phoenix in 2040-2046.

I have a long commute for work so I listen to a lot of audio books. Not sure if that counts as "reading" or not.

You can get a shitload of them for free from the NYC public library site even if you don't live there

I usually have a few books I'm reading at one time. A non-fiction, an old favorite author, and something new. I buy a new physical book every month and anything else I get ebooks. If I can't get a torrent or I don't feel obligated to actually buy it, I'll borrow it from the library then remove the DRM so it's mine forever.

I like to have a pretentious book to read at work just so everyone else feels inadequate.

I mainly read Bukowski and Thompson now. Something nice to pass the lunch hour.

That's exactly where I am now. Fiction doesn't do it for me. I read almost exclusively non fiction, especially biographies about writers. I just read one on Kurt Vonnegut and it was pretty depressing.

I should try out audiobooks. I'm pretty much always listening to old Ron and Fez obsessively.

I try not to think about how many audio books I could have listened to with the number of times I've heard Earl screw up the John C Reilly tickets

I understand that, Dave!

I understand that, Dave!

I cringe every time he starts a sentence with "No" (so a lot)
