Currently reading Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said. It's trash.
Next I'm going to read either a history book or Notes from Underground

How do I see those statistics?

your profile page will link you to your 2017 year in books, then you just replace 2017 in the url with 2018

go to your profile and click this, then go to "next year"

Is it possible to get a summary like that of all the books one has read? I've only read two this year :(

Hm, slow start to the year. About 1/4 through Cannonball as my primary read atm.

gabbbo goo

no bully

Just didnt get on with goodreads
keep a spreadsheet
been busy doing nothing this year
Did get 13 books read in November and December last year better time

You make me want to read it and come up with arguments to prove you wrong Really looking forward to rereading it would be third time i am massive Dick fan though If it does not do it for you fair enough

I don't like the goodreads summary because of their focus on "score", whatever that means.

Pic related is a spreadsheet I made to push me to read more. I went from 5 pages a day last year to 27/28 pages a day this year, on track for my 10,000 page goal

So far I've finished

Brothers K
Brave New World (very easy read)
Blood Meridian (favorite of the three)

I'm a good percent done with a hero of our time and the Feynman biography

I started infinite jest and moby dick last year but am thinking of waiting it out and starting fresh from those two

goodreads is a garbage website. the whole place smells like vag.

>the whole place smells like vag
better than dick

Only Awaken the Giant Within so far (made a major move which took up a lot of my time). Currently doing my yearly reading of Beyond Good and Evil. Probably going to read a couple of 40k novels to give my brain a break afterwards.

Just got into reading as a hobby last year. Looking to read 15k pages by the end of the year, hopefully.

How do you find the time to read so much? Are you just naturally a fast reader?

How come it doesn't show any of the books I've read?

Enter your dates

Judge me

...

>the virgin fiction vs chad non-fiction

The fourth book I read was As I Lay Dying. Didn't like it too much. Currently reading Norwegian Wood.
Planning to read Mishima next, starting with Confessions.

...

Wow that counter is trash. Ill just keep writing my list in a text file on y phone

I find myself reading nothing but essays/letters or 600+ page tomes.
So my "read" shelf barely changes.

I just finished "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, And Other Clinical Tales" by Oliver Sacks, and it was hilarious and fascinating. He quoted alot of Nietschze and Dostoevsky so I think I might start on some of thier stuff next. Maybe "Notes from the Underground". A buddy said it was funny.

Send help, I don't know how I can print the screen that long

So far I've read:
Camus' The Stranger
Plato's Symposium
Philip K Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris

I usually read a long book each year and I want to read Anna Karenina but because I'm becoming an uncle I doubt I'll have time for it. Might read Brief History of Seven Killings though.

Am I a good reader, Veeky Forums?

Almost done Lolita -- so far, loving it, but will only give it 3-stars.

Top 10? Hell yes. Patrician tier Moore.

Now I understand how some people here can read 100+ ”””books””” a year.
Good taste though.

What's Adolf like? Osamu Tezuka is pretty cool

Very disappointed. He has several dramatic scenes (deaths, mutilations, persecutions) that become unintentionally comical due to his caricatured style of drawing.

>english interface
>spanish titles

NO TOC

What are your thoughts on Dhalgren?

I'm going through my backlog of "classics" since I've decided on a more specific field to focus on. Currently going through the shorter works, about to start "Things I Believe" by Russell. Hoping the psychological effect of seeing several titles dropped off my list all at once continues to motivate me to get through those that I'm far less interested in.

>black panther

>tfw my interests are so random that most of my books have less than 50 readers and no one will ever be able to talk with me about them

how was pillars of the earth?

I have a similar complex to so I keep my own progress summary instead. My to read list isn't the complete list of books I want to read in 2018, aiming to get through 50 or so but don't know what they are yet. Priority list is always changing.

Notes from the Underground is certainly the best place to start with Dostoyevsky.

Few days ago I finished reading Dan Simmons "The Terror" and absolutely loved every chapter.
Now started "Dune". I heard it's good and wanted to read it before they make the film.

Can you post the rest of your books user? The ones I see in this image are very interesting actually

nobody wants to talk to me about the books i read ;_;

hmm

Maybe stop reading (((pholosophy))) and you'll find friends when you stop being an insufferable cunt

Where should I start with Mishima?

Fantastic. I couldn't put it down from the moment I read the first page. Read the entire thing in like 4 days or something

>>Steppenwolf (maybe 20 pages to go)
Is that any good? Just ordered that shit yesterday

>Stoner
>Free Will
>The obscene bird of the night
>The sound and the fury
>The world at the end of time

Accepting suggestions for things to read now as well

Naaah philosophy* is red pilled as fuck. Everyone else must be wrong

Not but I'm about halfway through Steppenwolf right now and I'm not enjoying it that much desu. I really liked Hesse's other stuff like Narcissus & Goldmund and Siddhartha but I feel like something's missing with Steppenwolf.

t. wanabe buddhist that consider themselves 'wordly'

At the beginning, the end or with Patriotism. All good starting points.

>Steppenwolf
>Buddhist

I think Confessions of a mask is a good starting point.

What an amazing reply, champ! I REALLY couldn't see that one coming!

>You make me want to read it and come up with arguments to prove you wrong
you won't convince me, but go for it.

Guis what should I read next? Help

I read about 50 pages an hour. I read an average of 4 hours a day.

I liked the core story, such as it is, but other than it being fucking long, I didn't find it to be the nigh-insurmountable read that it's built up to be. There's only a couple of chapters that have anything close to a plot. But, in the same way that Moby-Dick replicates the feeling of being away at sea for ages, Dhalgren definitely makes you feel like you've spent a year in an alien quarter of a dilapidated American city.

Having threesomes.

And writing poems.

About having a glove made of knives.

gods debris, and subliminal working through the bell curve now

>The Expanse: Nemesis Games
>Children of Time

I want to read Legionnaire - Galaxy's Edge but I can't find a good download link of it anywhere and I'm too cheap. In the meantime, I'm going to finish up the last two books from the Expanse.

that's because you fell for the stoicism meme

>manga
>"book"
nothing against you reading them (and I think Monster is actually pretty good), but I seriously don't understand cataloging them on a "books I've read" list.

Post profile. Everything here seems like something I'd get involved in

I'm making my way through On Conics now, pic related just arrived. Reading Leon Walras mathematically express English economists is very interesting, and I just finished reading John Jay's contribution to the complete Federalist papers, yesterday, i.e. articles 2 - 5.

Anyway, I do plan on reading quite a lot this year. I'll probably have most of this stuff done by the end of this month really. I'll be moving onto Nicomachus' Introduction to Arithmetic after Apollonius, and I'm thinking I'll start reading Plato's Timaeus and Laws around then.

After finishing Plato, I plan on starting Metaphysica by Aristotle. After finishing Leon Walras, I'm reading Irving Fisher's Mathematical Investigations..., and then after that, Vilfredo Pareto's Manual of Political Economy.

Other than that... erm. I'm definitely going to be reading THE ALMAGEST in its entirety after On Conics, and after Metaphysica, I'm going to begin Proclus' Elements of Theology (and maybe his commentary of the first book of Euclid's Elements)

I'm also reading that book and you're wrong.

Thanks for the rec

related, just finished another book, and 0 other people have read it

i hope to be finished with the illiad, odyssey, and a good deal of greek tragedy before the year is out. currently reading the gulag archipelago.

>average rating 5,0

Mine is also at 0 for least popular. Esoteric non-fiction tends to do that though. Goodreads is largely filled with housewives, "soyboys," high school aged girls, and SJW types.

link your profile, I'm interested

Stack right here

I'm like a 3rd through The SotWeed Factor, About 40% through Infinite Jest, 60% done with The Sellout.

Europe Central
MAYBE Frank Stanford's The Battlefield Where The Moon Says I Love You

I'm going to pick this book up tomorrow. Read The Battle of Bretton Woods by Steil and it was surprisingly good. Anyone else read it and can suggest other authors that write like him?

DRUMPF RESIGNED!
