>not having hundreds of books in your backlog already without recommendations

lurk more

>a cuck thread reaches 300 replies but let's not talk about what we actually read

I've read like 15-20 books this year but hell if I could remember what they were

Alan Watt's autobiography is really good

>set goal of 30 books this year on Goodreads
>read 15
>forgot about it til now
>spending my last 3 days before New Years reading the shortest plays I can possibly find like Death of a Salesman and children's books like the Petite Prince

Good job man, I wish I did better this year, but it could have been worse I guess.
Don't know what to recommend you.

>Being able to remember everything you read this year.

I'm not giving you the congratulations you want.

...

>not keeping a list
do you even autism?

Which program did you use to make that chart?

excel

Guess it was a stupid question. I might start doing that next year, but only if I start reading more often, which I hope I'll do.
I think my primary problem is that most of the books that I want to read I can't find in my local library (it mostly has pleb YA shit), so I have to resort to ebooks, and I like a real book much more. I love to turn pages and feel that paper.

...

Just use goodreads.
>separate category for gender

Did you try looking in the fiction section and not the YA section? You'll see a lot less YA there.

I'm also currently reading Gravity's Rainbow. The first 200 pages or so are exhausting, but he seems to have calmed down by the second book, and I'm enjoying Slopthrop's story and perspective.

There are probably a couple of books I've forgotten, but I reckon that's most of them. I tried my best to get out of my comfort zone, and read some stuff that might change my perspective on things. I lot of the stuff I though I'd hate was actually some of my favourite stuff to read.

I'm serious, there's almost no YA.

Slaughterhouse Five
Breakfast of Champions
Got 2/3rds of the way through Inherent Vice
