Do you read what you're currently excited to read next, or do you put new books at the end of the queue and only read what's next in your backlog?
>>25260488I go with the flow. The other option kills the joy
>>25260508this pretty much with a few caveats depending on my personal research for my writing project in social criticism and political/ethical philosophy.
I do have a really long and highly organized tbr list but i leave room for funI read at most 3 books at a time and in those 3 they cant be the same genreThen i go by feel on what i read next and i if i like one of the three the most and want to dedicate most of my reading to it i let it happen
>>25260488Either I read two or one. It depends if the first one is good.
>>25260488What does this image of this pink-haired gook toon have to do with your post?
>>25260488A reading list is there to remind yourself of stuff that you might forget about. You should use it it to avoid the following problem:— Be reading CURRENT THING— Come across NEW THING— Get excited about it, decide "I will definitely read this when I finish CURRENT THING"— Carry on with CURRENT THING— Come across SECOND NEW THING— Get excited about that— Finish CURRENT THING— Start SECOND NEW THING and forget about NEW THING even though if you compared NEW THING and SECOND NEW THING objectively you would prefer NEW THING.Correct strategy:Every time you get excited about a NEW THING, open your reading list and insert it in the right place, looking at them all soberly, and not getting swayed by the immediacy of NEW THING.It's a way of avoiding the tyranny and distortion of the moment.
>>25260488The former. I don’t care for that whole backlog business, sometimes I’ll even change my mind about my next read while in the process of reading whatever it is I’m reading. Sakura is cute and all but she’s a cunt. That is all.
