>>14682673
nigga
just read what you fucking enjoy
if what you're reading feels like a chore then don't fucking read it

it's not that fucking hard

>>14682673
now I want some energy drink
Though caffeine doesn't effect me
or so I feel
:/

>>14682689
It looks like a pile of smiley bubbling white refuse in the thumbnail, odd

>>14682673
Anyone else wanna fuck statues?

>>14682694
If you have gotten to the point that you feel no direct effect from caffeine then it is time to quit. If nothing else, then you can enjoy the buzz when you relapse.

>>14682683
I sleep poorly.

>>14682691
If I only read what I enjoy I might aswell not read at all. Being a brainlet I may have to wrestle with a lot of texts but at least I'm learning something when I get down to doing it.

>>14682721
I swear I cant feel the effect.
Usually when I work until 2 am, caffeine wont help my hands steady or make me less dreary.

>>14682725
Caffeine can take 2 hours before hitting you, then its effects last for about five hours. It's not what you think.

>>14682722
>If I only read what I enjoy I might aswell not read at all
what would you enjoy reading, what are your interests?
for example if you like world war 2 read memoirs from the time
>Being a brainlet I may have to wrestle with a lot of texts but at least I'm learning something when I get down to doing it.
that's not an excuse.

>>14682738
To be honest I don't get much enjoyment out of reading fiction in general so I just read things I think will teach me something, so I get something out of it.

I do enjoy poetry though and it tends to be shorter.

>>14682753
ok so what are some of the things you are interested in

>>14682722
>I sleep poorly.
You think your habits might be affecting this?
>>14682753
>so I just read things I think will teach me something, so I get something out of it.
But do you enjoy it? Would you consider being able to recite some poetry smart?

>>14682706
I’m more aroused than I’d like to admit

>>14682673
>>14682722
>>14682753
Imagine the smell

>>14682767
I have a thing for hard scifi 2bh.

>>14682779
Yes, it's likely from poor habits, but having no reason to get up in the morning lets me stay in bed until I get well rested anyway. I'm more concerned with whether I get lucid dreams or not.

As for whether I enjoy it I'm not sure, I get a positive feeling out of reading good poetry but I've never recited poetry to anyone but myself. I don't know if I'd call it smart, it's probably good for your mental health to carry it with you in memory because it is beautiful.

>>14682796
smells like rock

>>14682802
>dont like fiction
>have a thing for scifi

Warhol, obviously.

>>14682818
I have an interest in hard scifi but I don't like reading it because I don't feel like I get MUCH enjoyment out of it, and would be better off reading non-fiction.

Or did you mean what non-fiction I have an interest in?

>>14682832
>nb4 only interested in /tg/ tier lorelet stuff

>mfw soles

Can't you just read 1 or 2 pages?

>>14682836
I read Notes on the Death of Culture which was fairly easy to read, but before that I read Alasdair Macintyre and the greeks (english translations) which I struggled with. English is not my native language either but I don't think language is my main problem.

>>14682861
If I break up a chapter over weeks by only reading a page or two at a time I imagine I wouldn't understand much.

>exam period
>haven't touched a non tax related book in 3 weeks
haha

>>14682802
>As for whether I enjoy it I'm not sure, I get a positive feeling out of reading good poetry but I've never recited poetry to anyone but myself.
I should of said quote instead of recite. I believe to truly learn something you need a drive too. Just reading and hoping to retain the information may not work. I try to read at least 1 chapter a day, more if I'm into it.

What fucking tard drinks an energy drink before bed?

>>14682673
>plan to read on my vacation
>play my ps4 for 6 days instead

>>14682673
>>drink energy drink and go to bed

This kills dreams.

>>14682673
This is why I read first thing in the morning. I can easily get at least an hour of reading done before the day even begins, then I can just fill the rest of my downtime throughout the day with it and feel less pressured.

>>14682753
>thinking fiction can't teach you anything

If you want to be any sort of writer, or cultured person it's basically a must.

>>14682836
more like Neuromancer and the foundation trilogy.

>>14682673
>energy drinks before bed
Do you want horrible sleep and cancer? I'd understand if you were drinking, or doing drugs, but just energy drinks? wtf

>>14682694
And this is why I have a ritalin prescription. I used to drink 4 cups of coffee a day, now I'm down to 1. Caffeine never gave me much energy anyway, it just made it impossible to be tired for a couple hours.

>>14682673
>Drink energy drink and go to bed
Is this the shittiest bait ever or are you completely retarded?
