Right now, my usual reading allotment is this

>an analysis of a single chapter of the Tao Te Ching, where I write down my interpretation
>about 25 pages of Democracy in America
>a little bit of the Bible. Finished Mark last night

>>7238020

Average for this year so far is 55 pages a day.

30-50 pages a day. I can get up to 100 on weekends, but that is rare during football season

1 essay, 1-5 chapters of the bible and about 1.5 hours of fiction

1h-2h studying and about the same for leisure reading, although sometimes more if I'm really into my book.

>>7238073
200 pages Saturday, 0 pages Sunday

300-500 pages

>>7238020
It varies a lot. If I don't read at least 50 pages a day I'll feel bad. It depends on how my time schedule and the book I'm reading, for example yesterday I was free all day and finished Bulgakov's 300 pages book on the life of Moliére. That's a personal record.

>>7238020
100 pages a day, it's like one- two hours for me

I'm a piece of shit. I go weeks without reading at all, but when I'm in the groove I'll manage 25-100 depending on work, university, sobriety, etc.

All familar feels

Nothing since June \mm/

What does literary lifestyle even stand for?

~200 pages

>>7238020
20-30 pages a day. I should read more.

>>7238073
Pretty much right there with you. Depends on how much work I have to do throughout the day, at times I have a lot more freetime and read a lot more.

Kind of off-topic, but is it common to read through the first 100 or so pages relatively quickly and then to slow down as the book progresses? Happens with everything I read.

20-100p on weekdays, 0-200 on weekends depending a lot on what I have going on

>tfw so post-modern you stop being human

75-100 in English

I struggle to read 20 a day.

Do you read the bible for religious reasons or are you an atheist who wishes to understand what the bible really is about?

>>7240254
I'm religious. Catholic, but bad at being a Catholic. I'm trying to make reading the Bible more of a habit, for religious reasons and so that I may understand.

The only books I've read in full so far are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Job, Ecclesiastes, Matthew, and Mark.

I would like to read the rest of the NT before I read any more of the OT.

the old testament is dum af throw it in the trash boss

Currently 80-100 pages of history, a tiny bit of poetry, and 20-40 pages of plato.

I set a goal to average a book a week just by setting my little reading goal or whatever on Goodreads to 52. Right now I'm 4 books ahead of schedule, but a bunch were real small. But then again a couple were doorstoppers like Don Quixote.

>>7238020
Not a fucking lot.
Mostly ready while I got high, but sense I have shit to do now I kind of don't.
Lot more writing tho.

all my shit's on the floor. i sit on the floor and write on a macbook. when I'm done eating stolen white corn chips and hummus i will read a contemporary author see what word they use for an image on the internet. i use 'image.' i think some people might use 'picture.' after that i want to know how Mary Robison uses temporal markers. i don't fucking know how many pages i've read this year. other people's writing is food for my juice. creative ambition or inspiration. i can tell all you jerkoffs used to or still browse /v/

>tao lin
>teen culture
what the fuck?
what 16 year old faggot made this?

>>7238020
I kinda hope I don't turn out like that

10-30 pages in the mornings
0-10 during afternoon
70+ on the morning of really lonely days

>>7238020
Depends on what I`m reading. Last year I averaged 45 pages a day, though. It'll be less this year,because I've read a lot more non-fiction.

40-60 when i take notes and 40-75 if i dont.

>>7240526
I recently started praying daily rosary. I felt like a shitty Christian because I met a group of protestants who came here for a year for evangelization. More dedication than what I had. Found an app with Latin prayers. Really great.
Also I feel like I'm going to fall in love with one and end up heartbroken because of rejection or her going away in a year

>>7238020
maybe an hour
just got a smartphone and a kindle app with some free books, so hopefully that number will go up

I'm not quite sure as it depends on the day. But it's usually around 30-80 pages. I'm at 50 books this year, I assume that the average length is around 250 pages.

I try and read one or two short stories a day, probably read more on weekends. sometimes i'll get real stoned, put on some bela bartok and read like 200 pages straight or something

HOW DOES HE DO IT AND MAKE LAMBORGHINI AT SAME TIME ?

>>7241518
(80+30)/2 = 55
55*365/250 = 80,3 books/year

This will be the first year since I was 17 that I finish fewer than 52 books. Fucking booze...

>>7238105
Fuck me...
I am even listening to Big Black at the moment...

>>7241716
I'll probably teach 60 by the end of the year. Also I've read some really really large works this year so that adds to the page count.
