I read your post and wrote this one.

I can’t decide what to read. Everything unread on my shelf is either too dense, too long to commit to, or terribly dull high school reading list core.

I've been feeling depressed and unable to deal with stress of work, family and writing uni essays. My doctor told me my lack of sleep is worrying so he gave me the rest of August off to rest. All I do is clean my place and play horror games (Eternal Darkness is very good. The chapters set in the cathedral are my favorites)

I read every day. It isn't hard or unusual.

I never write. I have nothing to write about.

Read some of Woolf's "The Waves" today. Very pretty. Fascinating ideas, too -- not normally the thing I reach for, but I'm compelled by it. Love her essays. You're right though, I haven't written today.

Lots of things on Anna's Archive/libgen mirrors. You'd be surprised.

Don't bother reading women, you're in a gender war. Read Bataille's The Story of the Eye.

Larping a war won’t change that you’re a faggot.

How do I improve my writing?

>Just like read more

I've been reading all my life and it got me nowhere.

You have to read books about how to write well

Any recommendations?

during my time as a fourchan political exile, I read 200 pages from a book of my fellow countryman. all in all it left me cold. then i read 50 pages of a YA slopfest that was the only novel at my accomodation. which reminded me how well-written the previous book was. and reminded me how well-written certain facets of the "fourchan tragi-comedy" truly are. regardless, now that I am back, I am glad. even now, if you read these words, do not let your eyes glaze over them, do not like your gaze be unfocused, but achieve a glint within your ocularity, hone yourself, cast yourself into the words, so that when you read, you read h a r d.
