do you lot read one book at a time? seems like I always have 2 audiobooks and 2 textbooks going on at the same time and randomly juggle between them
most of the books I've read this year have been mediocre and a bit boring, but am going through a few juicy ones at the moment, feels nice

I read one book at a time, yes. I can get through them faster and focus on them more. In college having to read multiple books all at once was always frustrating in that regard. I felt like I could never give them a proper amount of attention.

I read one book at a time. Slowly. Out loud.

reading The Crying of Lot 49, liking it very much, five thumbs up
I didn't read much besides DAC as a young'un, so it's pretty cool to discover books all the time, there's a whole lot of them I tell ya. I feel like I've listened to most of the music that I like that's readily available, and seen a lot of movies and tv shows, but I'm reading all kinds of shit for the first time. I'd say 90% of the books I've read, I've read in the past 3 years or so
Still, most of the time I prefer discovering them over actually reading them

I just realized that the guy in the cover art is Ellison, why does he have to be such a self-indulgent moron
anyway I read some of his short stories, either women are prozzies or they get raped,
he writes like an incel who reads online guides about why women like bad boys

Reading a book about the history of modern esotericism and occultism in Finland, it's a dumb history book so no spells or mana potion recipes or anything, but I guess reading history is good otherwise we'll repeat the same mistakes like shoot Franz Ferdinand in the face again

That's true. I was thinking of listening to the first edition of "A course in miracles", autodidacted Crowley style.

A friend gifted me Tarantino's book, and holy shit my backlog of movies to watch tripled in length. The amount of movie knowledge the man has is absolutely astounding.

Good name, A course in miracles was to heavy on Christian nomenclature so I'm reading the Bhagavad Gita instead
