You should be setting your reading pace by chapters. Incidentally I'm 3 chapters away from finishing Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, which I will do later today.

Doesn't seem worth it. You might not even be alive in three months.

>If a poster on 4chan's literature board (/lit/) mentions reading 60 pages a day for 3 months, they are almost certainly referring to the Talmud.
>While doing the math points exactly to a 5,400-page volume (60 pages × 90 days = 5,400 pages), this math is uniquely legendary on /lit/ because the standard, modern English translation of the Babylonian Talmud (specifically the classic Steinsaltz or Schottenstein editions) spans roughly 5,400 pages across its volumes.
>On /lit/, reading the Talmud sequentially is frequently discussed alongside other massive foundational or hyper-long texts, often as a personal "reading challenge."

>Alternative Meta-Jokes or Options on /lit/
>If it isn't the Talmud, the user might be referring to one of these common board targets via generalized math:
>The "Meme-Trilogy" Omnibus: Users often group sprawling post-modern epics together. Reading David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest, Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity's Rainbow, and William Gaddis’s The Recognitions back-to-back equals roughly 3,500–4,000 pages, but adding secondary literature or companion guides easily brings a seasonal reading log to that scale.
>In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust: At ~4,200 pages, a slightly slower pace (or including extensive structural notes) makes it the ultimate "three-month project" standard for fiction on the board.
>Karl Ove Knausgård’s My Struggle: The entire 6-volume autobiographical novel set is roughly 3,600 pages, frequently tackled as a single multi-month commitment.

All wrong. You or any AI will never be able to guess the book.
