How the fuck do you become more well-read when you're working at a Waffle House at 29

Read.

Repeat.

fpbp, just read? What does your job have to do with it, working at waffle house lets you probably read more than some manager or big-shot ceo, because once your shift is off, you can take your mind off completely from work

Read the Waffle House menu, learn Russian or Polish, write the Waffle House menu in Polish to keep the Russians out of my god damn Waffle House

Squandered your childhood, then?

Everything about this post screams that reading probably isn't for you. Have you considered hard drugs and prostitutes?

Start with the greeks.

Are you a nigger, by any chance? All you have to do is READ BOOKS. It takes no effort.

start with the first known written texts and go chronologically from there

love that kyuss album
also forget being well read. if you didn't grow up reading, don't bother with classics. read some fun pulpy sci fi. or start making videos that are funny to you. or collect coins. or take up birdwatching. or make a website about a specific topic of interest. or join a model train hobbyist club. or collect pdfs of old wwii era cookbooks, you know the ones with gross aspic-canned tuna abominations. or learn to play harmonica.

in other words, do something interesting and fun. do not subject yourself to drudgery of reading old books simply because it is a "smart" and "sophisticated" and "based" thing to do.

In general. Or are you writing. or have other art pursuits?

You have a favorite writer, or historical era/place that captures your interest. Target that. Read authors you enjoy in their entirety (save on omnibus editions/used). Only acquire volumes for your personal collection you are certain to revisit/want as influences/use in study. Archive dot org ect. have all the free material you could want for the rest. Read non-zero daily. Figure out if you're more wired mornings or evenings and dont' fuck around your diet or sleep schedule (read outside if possible).
