I've finished two books, I think.

Magyar bro, with 40 books.
Grat!

How do I make a picture like that on Goodreads?

Someone has to keep the board alive with shitposting I guess.

Forgot to write my plans

Trying to finish off Paradise Lost and several Chekhov plays. Feeling good with my reading, at 70 books read this year which is about one every two days. Plan on reading Shelby Foote's civil war trilogy this summer, one for every month.

How do you manage to read that much? I've barely read 13 books so far.

I'm unemployed and I dedicate the majority of my time to reading. It's actually a bit sad that I haven't read more.

I'm OP, I have a full time job and I live alone yet you can see how much I've read, it's not that hard if you actually want to dedicate time to it.

Fairly satisfied with the amount of reading I've done. Currently reading Don Quixote. I've been going very slowly and taking my time with it. R8 my taste.

Nice, I have Speedboat on my nightstand. Gonna read it next, probably.

can't believe people are putting up such a front that they put books on goodreads to make online strangers think they actually read

It's a real treat. It resides in my memory already a little foggy--heavy style, lesser substance--but it's delightful. Pairs well with Maggie Nelson, Claudia Rankine, that sort of writing.

How'd you like Savage Detectives? That's my favorite book of all time. It gets memed here constantly but I've never actually had a decent conversation with someone on here about it.

Also how's in the heart of the heart? Picked that up recently, read the intro, but haven't got into the stories.

t. brainlet

t. shitposter who never reads

lol

you see people with 2400 book goodreads libraries leaving such dumb reviews

This actually motivates me to keep on goodreads again. This is such a stupid thing I feel so normie for enjoying it.

>Mandela
Does that book talk about how he ruined South Africa?

Literally the only books I have ever read without being required by a school project is A Series of Unfortunate Events. A week ago I got started on this shit. Gonna go through extremely slowly and unironically take notes to make sure I actually retain the information. If I can get through the entire thing by the end of the year I'll be happy.
