Pages don't matter. 1h minimum of reading per day is a good thing to keep up I think
>>25274709Stop treating reading like a chore.
ÆSTHETES WORRY ABOUT THE PAGES THAT THEY READ; LITERATES AGONIZE OVER THE PAGES THAT THEY WRITE.I NEED TO WRITE FORTY NINE POEMS IN SEVEN DAYS; I AM SCARED.
>>25274827This. Read what you enjoy.
>>25274709Like 100. It depends on the book though. What is most important is having the daily habit of doing it at all.
>>25274845Oh no latinx melty!

>>25274823>>25274827>>25274845Hm yes yes these are nice answers, thank you frens.
>>25274709depends heavily on what you're reading, here's my sense of it>contemporary poetryabout a ~book a day is a good pace, poetry's quick but if you move much faster than that you won't retain much >modern poetryno real metric other than "slowly">romantic/victorian/elizabethean poetrygenuinely cannot imagine going faster than 25 pages a day here>contemporary fiction (generally)100pgs/day easily>contemporary fiction of high quality (meme trilogy and meme trilogy adjacent belongs here)50pgs/day>classic fictionalso heavily depends on what you're reading, dickens goes down fast, woolf doesn't. on the high end, you can blaze through 200pgs of hemingway in a day if you have the time and if he grabs you. on the low end, I can only stomach 25ish pages of henry james per day>pop nonfiction50pgs/day, breezy read but ostensibly you read nonfiction to learn, so you have to slow down>real nonfiction (academic presses, things not for a general audience, etc)25-50pgs/day depending on your level of familiarity with the subject matter>philosophy of any kindgenuinely cannot imagine reading more than 25pgs/day and retaining anything of value
>>25274845This. /lit/ posers are just consumers and they don't even consume good stuff, only shit.
