38 so far. I think I've found my upper limit for how much I can read and for it not to be just all mush in my brain. I'm enjoying it while I can because in a couple of years I'm taking a break from work to do a degree and I know that my reading for pleasure will plummet to almost nothing. Stand outs of the year is Barthes: some of the most entertaining essays I've ever read, Don Quixote, 'nuf said, Maupassant's Bel Ami, what a delightful, charming and amoral book, and Sterne's Tristram Shandy, what a raucous adventure, never have I laughed out loud so much at a book before.

You might notice that I only mentioned fiction. This year I've mostly stuck to lighter non-fiction hence why none of it is in my favourites for the year.

I’ve had to reclaim my reading speed from years of internet distractions turning my brain into mush. I read 350 page books in a day when I was a teen. Then I read barely 5 books a year for many years. Really it’s just habit and consistency. I removed the movie watching and mindless tv watching and internet browsing. I switch between fiction that works for audiobook so I can still do chores while listening. Harder books go on the reading tablet.

This is mostly correct. Reading dense books takes a few days if not a week for serious scholar.

As a full time academic I could, at one point, before kids, and without a teaching load, read many books. Most often, most of us, read only a few chapters of books, and the intro and conclusion. The only books one reads through and through are for review or central to your incredibly narrow field.

Many people lie about reading a book, and those who have read cover to cover can tell, and I've often caught people in lies about the books they've read.

I imagine that I can read literature faster than most of you. It took me two sessions over two days to read blood meridian, and about four sessions to read the possessed by Dostoyevsky, three sessions to read Madame Bovary. Some things take longer because they're less interesting for me, like the classics or 20th century lit. In fairness, the possessed captured my attention because of my research interests and aversion to commies and socialists.

My wife reads lots of books each year. They're bestsellers, romance, etc. When I look at some of them, I notice that the font is huge like 16pt, there are no footnotes, and the dialogue cuts down on total text.

I wake up before 7 every day, try to do some reading before work. Then I do some reading at lunch time. I'll do some more reading after work if time permits. I try to read more on the weekends but sometimes I just don't feel like it. You just have to be consistent. I seldom ever take a day off of reading even if I only read 5 pages. I have books on my nightstand that I plan to read after I'm finished with my current book. Sometimes this comes at the expense of other hobbies. Also I hate starting something and not finishing it so now I only pick up something I know that I will commit to.

No, he's just trained to dissect books. So while you're reading for pleasure, he's scanning the content and analyzing the first sentences of paragraphs, the last sentences, chapter structures, and creating a plot map of the essence. He's reading some scenes, but not the whole thing. This means he's skipping a great deal of content, but he will get the gist of what's going on.

He's obviously speed reading. But, at the same time, many people on /lit/ would have you believe that anyone reading more than one book a month isn't understanding anything. In reality you can read an average sized novel in a single day if that's all you do. I recently read an excerpt from a letter from Tolstoy where he talks about how he read Dostoevsky's House of the Dead in an afternoon, and that is about 350 pages, and that alone would seem to be a supernatural feat to some of the zoomers here.

Does anyone ACTUALLY have books and research on internet celebrities and how they work? Like the woman in OP, what kind of audience does she have? Is it lonely men who jerk off to her while she's talking? Is it young women who see her as some sort of life coach? Do people actively listen to what these people say or do they keep them in the background so they have a human voice to fill their loneliness? Outside of the most obvious examples e.g. hot girl showing her titties and lonely 30-40 year olds simping, there are many other types of e-celeb I just don't understand. Are they astroturfed? An example is videogame streamers, sometimes they receive like, 5000 dollar donations from randoms. I assume these guys do not shove things up their ass for that money, because they're usually ugly to average guys. Why do people throw money at them? Is it astroturf shit to get people to believe that they're wildly successful? Is it a sockpuppet to make people excited and fabricate a personality cult? How much money that circulates around these people is real? How much of their growth is organic and how much is astroturfed by some company they work with? Do they skirt the law? I have so many questions. I hate all this shit and I wish they all dropped dead and YouTube and social media went down forever, but at the same time I am morbidly curious to know all the ins and outs and how rotten and kiked up it all is.

[Anonymous No.20555126]

>>20554936
>Does anyone ACTUALLY have books and research on internet celebrities and how they work?
they exist, im sure, but most of the information in them could be known to you if you simply spend some time in internet communities in which livestreaming is the common interest.
>Like the woman in OP, what kind of audience does she have? Is it lonely men who jerk off to her while she's talking? Is it young women who see her as some sort of life coach? Do people actively listen to what these people say or do they keep them in the background so they have a human voice to fill their loneliness?
its mostly young women who are interested in reading. look to the comments of these videos to find who the audience is.
>I assume these guys do not shove things up their ass for that money, because they're usually ugly to average guys. Why do people throw money at them?
reasons for throwing money at livestreamers differ depending on the situation. if the streamer is very small--such as a regular working man doing it in his free time--you may donate money out of a genuine desire to help him out financially. when it gets to the point where a person is a professional streamer making thousands or millions off their streaming, then the reasons for doing so become odd. people who donate are usually a certain breed of terminally online who often just want to be acknowledged by the streamer, who they see as somewhat of a friend.
>Is it astroturf shit to get people to believe that they're wildly successful?
maybe, it doesnt seem necessary to do so when people are constantly growing without it. streamers usually grow from notoriety gained by outside activities: porn, twitter, esports teams, etc. It's uncommon for someone to gain more viewership exclusively from livestreaming. they need to do other things or they need to social climb AKA dickride someone more popular to leech off of their notoriety.
none of what ive said is absolute and i encourahe you to throw yourself into the livestreaming world and come to your own conclusion.

[Anonymous No.20555232]

>>20555126
>if you simply spend some time in internet communities in which livestreaming is the common interest
this is not true because the people in these environments treat each other as their audience, so all you see is the end product of all the grifting. they will obviously not say that they've made an illegal agreement with a company or they're recycling money. I want clear, truthful data. another aspect that makes direct observation difficult is that communities where streamers are reachable are completely divorced from these guys who come out of the blue and get tons of followers. The reasons why a seemingly random person would climb to notoriety so quickly are opaque. They're not special people, they're not attractive, they're not necessarily good at the games if they play games, they just come out of nowhere and blow up, like one day some new face appears on TV. Did that new TV girl suck tons of cock to get there? Maybe, but I would like hard data on how it actually works and what actually happens. Considering that the Internet has replaced TV almost entirely I can guess that things have become really convoluted and there are a lot of hidden mechanics behind what people ascend and what people do not. There is also a very valuable element of looking "average", I think marketers discovered that if a person is not remarkable, e.g. a girl not too attractive or the production value of a show looks "homemade" people feel more warm toward this shit and develop a parasocial relationship faster. So the bullshit keeps piling up and up. It's not like on TV where you know that there's tons of money behind it. With streamers there's a vested interest in making them look like normal people, like you and me, who bought a camera and started making videos in their living room.
>look to the comments of these videos to find who the audience is.
people who comment are a tiny percentage and they are not necessarily the people who make up for most of the audience, nor they necessarily constitute the paying audience. again, no clear organized and truthful data
>you may donate
>people who donate are usually
again, no data, only conjectures. I can make all sorts of conjectures too about people who donate 5 grand to a guy playing minecraft but I'd like to have actual data and truth. it could be a marketing maneuver, money laundering, anything.
>none of what ive said is absolute

its impossible to know the motivations of silent viewers. the best window into the general fanbase of a content creator is to look at the fans who are participating in the discussion of them.
>again, no data, only conjectures. I can make all sorts of conjectures too about people who donate 5 grand to a guy playing minecraft but I'd like to have actual data and truth. it could be a marketing maneuver, money laundering, anything.
its hard to measure it because of how vast and balkanized the streaming world is. many things such as money laundering, dick sucking, wouldn't be public knowledge due to them needing being kept secret. the psychology of the viewers and streamers is also not measurable in an absolute manner.
>no offense but you have said nothing at all, I can make assumptions just fine on my own. what I was curious for was hard data exactly because I didn't want to run on conjectures.
unfortunately, most of what you will find is conjectures. its why i recommended you involve yourself in the streaming world so you can perceive it for yourself.

I read so slow yet regularly that at this point I can predict how many books I can finish. Approximately one a week, but usually I am chipping away at a few books at a time, usually one novel and then collections of shorter work. It sometimes takes a couple weeks to read the big ass novels.

A friend recently suggested I start a channel on books. He said that there would be an audience for my discussion and description of bindings, binding, printing, and acquisition of rare and fine books.

He suggested using the monetization for the acquisition of further volumes.

This part really stuck out to me, more so as a Christcuck fantasy than an incel fantasy. Either way, it was incredibly unrealistic for Sonya to forgive Raskolnikov immediately after she learned he had killed her friend.

Hands, seen or unseen, are very much like the roots of a plant: their influence will be felt in anything you do. You can hide your hideous thumbs completely, but the viewer will still feel the aftershocks of disgust that runs in the undercurrents of your content. I'm sorry but there is no way around it.

For me it's the 2 volumes of Aristotle's Complete Works published by Princeton University Press. These are the only two books I will ever need to read again. I love studying Aristotle after a hard day of sucking off construction workers.

You underestimate how ready some people are to forgive. Sonya and some others see mercy as so incredibly transformative that to see sorrow unto repentance, even the chance of it, is worth forgiving someone. It's been seen in plenty of murder trials. Honestly the most touching thing in the story isnt the confession of guilt in the police station, it's the confession before Sonya in Siberia which was Raskolnikov finally understanding what Sonya was asking of him, to believe that God can forgive.

Most "booktubers" lie out of their ass regarding the amount of books they read. It's basically just to impress their audience, audience which uses them to feel good as "readers by proxy". Fuck "booktubers". Anyone who wishes to read would actually do so instead of watching them. Even reading blogs is slightly more dignified because you'd be, well, reading.

Mircea Eliade - The Forge and the Crucible
Julius Evola - The Mystery of the Grail
Julius Evola - The Hermetic Tradition
Ernst Jünger - Battle as an Inner Experience
Oswald Spengler - Man and Technics

So 6 in total so far. Currently reading:

Chris Voss - Never split the Difference

I've read almost every Platonic text before and only have an interest for it out of a historical perspective. The actual philosophy is useless when already knowing its significance when referred to in modern philosophy. I'm reading it perfetly well.

>Audience that wants to feel good as readers by proxy.
That's a funny statement. I've found a booktuber that has good tastes and his recommendations and they up end up on my wishlist about a quarter of the time. It's a good way to get exposed to things that I otherwise wouldn't have heard about; I don't exactly have a literary friend group
