I rarely read. I come here for the Ayn Rand trolling.

the fuck is a Yomiko?

Fuck of back to /a/

It depends on how much money I have that month. Normally, I can go through 10 books a month.

>>383523
Yomiko is /lit/.

>>383501
I read about a book or maybe two in a month. I'll keep the 2 books a month stream steady if I'm really into a theme of some sort.

A lot of people like to "brag" about how fast/much they read, but I think it's better to read a few well savored books, than become a human database.

I read about 2000 pages a month

>>383580
No, she really isn't. But i admit that "fuck off" was a bit harsh.

>>383580
That don't look like /lit/. Looks like some moe shit from here, brah.

Goddamn weeaboos. Fuck.

I read books every day - on the way to work, and on the way back. I get about 60 minutes of reading (sometimes up to 80 if the bus takes a while) done a day, so I go through a fair number of books.

>>383625
>>383629
Incorrect. She is /lit/, read up on your /lit/story.

>>383501
OP is a faggot

>>383666
No, she isn't. Bookface is /lit/, she's just beloved by weeaboo cunts.

>>383691
this is true, everything else is wrong.
Also, Oscar Wilde is Queen. That is not open for discussion.

>>383526
lrn2library, money-independent reading!

>>383501
>a bookworm like Yomiko

Who?

Actually, on second thought, I don't wanna fucking know. Stop dropping references to things nobody else cares about. I don't know what it is you're attempting to prove by writing shit like this, but nobody is impressed by it.

Think about it from someone else's perspective. Imagine I had said something like this: 'Yeah totally, I want to read as much as Batman does. I also want to work out more so I can be a hardcore detective.' Sound ludicrous? You fucking bet it does. If you want to live up to someone else's standards, choose a REAL WORLD COUNTERPART, not a character from a fucking comic book. For example, I once happened upon a used book stall at a flea market run by an old man who boasted reading at least two books a week. Now that's fucking impressive, far more impressive than saying, 'HAI GUISE REED RICHARDS SHORE IZ SMART I WANNA BE SMART 2 SO IMMA READ MOAR LOL READ RICHARDS'.

tl;dr OP is pathetic.

>>383736
That's quite a bit of writing to argue against a proven fact. Yomiko Readman is the embodiment of /lit/.

Let's get back on topic.

>>383736
u mad?

I came for the cum. Now GTFO.

>>383747
>>383748
Samefag.

And yes, I'm fucking mad, because it's shit like this that's killing 4chan. Why the fuck do we even have a /lit/ board if it's going to be infested with your goddamn Japanese comic book bullshit?

>>383736
Batman. The King of /lit/.

>>383770
>it's shit like this that's killing 4chan

Also, complaining about weeaboos on 4chan?

>>383779
>Using the name of images in lieu of images on an imageboard in order to convey opinions

I'd say that's what's killing 4chan.

>>383790
Only lets you post one image, and I couldn't decide which one to use.

>>383790
this man is right.

>>383736
I've been reading 5 books a week for three months some time age, now it's 1-2 a week.

/r/ing that picture of fat bart simpson holding with the caption "I watch anime"
Seriously, only fat virgins think yomiko is the embodiment of /lit/

>I dream of becoming an overpowered detective like Batman and living in a whole mansion filled with bat-books

>>383811

You think you're burning calories or attracting women by sitting in your basement reading for hours?

>>383803
Five a week? Damn dude, do you sleep?

Intelligence gleaned from books.

Batman: King of Lit

Batman. He's better than Superman.

KING OF LIT

I read maybe a book a month. I used to read more when I was younger, but I've gotten pickier now that I'm older.

Also, people in this thread need to calm the fuck down. Jesus Christ, is it so wrong for the OP to have interests outside of /lit/?

Anime fags letting their lives be dictated to them by kawaii characters as usual

You're like the fags who go around with no socks, crouching on chairs and biting their thumbs after watching Death Note

>>383863
>implying you're not just further proving that one guys point that you're a burden to this board by getting trolled

HAIL

When i was a kid I used to read a book in 2 or 3 days, generally Biggles books or Redwall, stuff like that, so at least two a week.
Now I'm down to one every few months if I'm honest since I generally only read a few pages at a time.

>>383883
I dont think him having interests outside of /lit/ is what provoked all the anger.

>>383875
>batman what have you done to me

I read about two to three books a week, doesn't matter on length. I am occasionaly prone to a "Romance Frenzy" in which I try to read every shitty victorian age romance book I can get my hands on.
Also Batman is the king of /lit/

>>383840
about 11 hours a day. The rest, when I had time, was almost exclusively for reading.

>>383890
>implying that I'm not the one who started the trolling

>>383910
>implying we're not the same person

>>383883
>Jesus Christ, is it so wrong for the OP to have interests outside of /lit/?

White Knight.

But no, there's nothing wrong with it at all. It's only when those interests are forced into discussion that it becomes tiresome. If OP really wants to discuss anime that badly, I suggest s/he go to /a/.

>>383924
>>383924
You naive faggot

>>383924
>implying /a/ talks about anime

>>383922
Oops, forgot my tripcode

>>383501
...Very avid.

But if you're doing it for such shite reasons like that, you ought to consider getting help, or just flat out scream you're a weeaboo.

1-5 books per week.

I am vengeance.
I am the night.
I am BATMAN!

Pure poetry. Batman: King of Lit

usually read two books a month. depending on how good the book is i can read 300+ pages in a week no problem.

when i was a movie projectionist i'd read all the time. i mostly sat around. i would read 100pages a day. did that for about a year ...two or three years ago.

>>383935
I sincerely do not give a shit. This board is for literature, not Japanese comic books and cartoons. Deal with it, or get the fuck out.

You can't do shit to make me leave. If someone wants to be an asshole, there is nothing you can do to stop them, dude.

>>383929
How, exactly, am I naive?

>>383943
hey gamergirl, still living off of your fiance's burger king wages?

>>383958
Why are you telling /lit/ about you sucking cocks for the Mafia , stop telling us about it. Why are you so preoccupied with informing /lit/ about your nonsense?

>>383965
Or I could report you. And here's the kicker: I did. And I strongly suggest all other /lit/ purists who want to see the weeaboo faggotry OFF this board to join me.

>>383965
you can always appeal to the heart, bro. you gotta keep believin', baby. and never stop

Used to get a book every two months or so, recently went up to 1-2 per week

>>383977
I'm still here.

>>383977
eh reporting does shit all here sweetcheeks

>>383976
>YAAGH!!

BUT WHO WAS PHONE?

You must be new here. Welcome to 4chan. Enjoy your stay.

>>383979
I'm not OP and am yet to post in this thread.

However, I went to Japan in November (with my ex-girlfriend), and I'm going to Osaka in July for another holiday to see if I still like the place. That's because I'm going to study over there for a year next year on exchange if I like the place still.

However; I DO NOT like anime/manga; I'm not really that into Japanese girls (actually prefer Chinese/Koreans these days); I'm not into the whole 'tech' thing etc. etc.

I'm just going there for the experience, and because I've had great hospitality received from the Japanese in the past, not to mention the amount of lovely Japanese I've met (and work with) in my country.

My question is, does this make me a 'weeaboo'?

>>384012
>(actually prefer Chinese/Koreans these days)

Not a weeaboo, just another cliche yellow fever faggot.

I can impress Catwoman with my readership skills.

>>384012
bookdesu

>>384012
Living in Japan makes you a weeabo? I thought it made you a foriegner. Who are you mystical Japan-man? Why do you speak in such gobbledegook? I can barely understand you? STOP NOT SPEAKING ENGLISH!

And the hate does nothing.

Batman is the best king ever :)

>>384012
nope. i'm the guy you cited. it was my first post itt.

if you like japanese shit its fine. weeaboo idiocy is when you unreasonably think japanese shit is better.

and even if you thought that way...and felt it reasonable in your own mind that's fine too. as long as you aren't physically hurting anyone believe whatever you want. you're too old to give a shit otherwise. if you aren't then you're too young to be on this board.

>>384014
I don't know man.

I want to be attracted to local girls, but I just don't feel anything. Every now and then I will, if she's a half or something. However, I've never been into girls other than Asians, which started when I was around 12 or so.

I've tried fucking and dating a few local girls, but it's just not the same. I don't think Asian girls are 'better', it's just, I don't know... But it's not by choice.

Good thing I live with some Koreans, and work in a Japanese/Korean immigration/education agency helps me out, haha.

>>384024
>stop not speaking english

that's not proper english, faggot.

>>384037
Don't worry about it. Asian girls are the same. People talk shit about white guys liking asian girls but asian girls do the exact same thing. Plenty date only white guys. But no one ever calls them on it like they do the crackermen.

>>384036
Yeah, it's just that when I was in Japan, the people were so kind to me, something that I have received in a very long time.

Of course, I was staying in Ginza, so I was able to go around to all the districts in Tokyo and there were many beautiful women around me (in my eyes). However, that was the last thing on my mind, which in fact suprised me. I was more interested to speak to some elderly people than try to chat up some girls who probably spoke better English.

I'm nearly 2m tall though, so when I'm over there I'll probably have to watch my head a bit more too ^^

This thread has gone off in an odd direction.

I do not pay attention to how much I read because I am not a pretentious faggot.

Also, the thread still being here just shows how reporting does nothing.

WEEABOOS EAT SHIT AND DIE IM OUT

The thing that pissed me off most in Japan though, was the black guys that would loiter around the city in pairs trying to get me to sell whatever shit they were trying to sell.

Pissed me off because they wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. Not because they're black. Didn't see one white person doing it too.

>dumbass complains about weeaboos

>batman hijack lol

I've been keeping a list of every book I read for 4 years now. The first goal of the list is to realise how much of them I forget.
Some months I don't read, others I read dozens. At the end of the year, it's between 70 and 90 books, so yes, I read a lot.

>complain about weeaboos
>4chan

HURRRRR

About two or three per month

>>384092
>I've been keeping a list of every book I read for 4 years now.

I've been keeping a list since 2005. Sometimes I look at it and get disturbed at the number of times I've reread Howl's Moving Castle in just a few short years.

>>384094

Does anyone have that "look where you are, faggot" picture? I can't find mine.

>>384106
nigga plz.

i'm 28 with a girlfriend i'm living with. just because you lonely don't go thinking other chantards are.

>>384120
The sole purpose I go on 4chan is for /lit/ ^^

>>384094
>implying that everyone who lurks/posts on 4chan is a weeaboo

Sure is /v/ in here.

>>384149

>>384117

moot actually mentioned that in one of his q+a's about a week ago when asked.

>>384162
>implying moot is trustworthy

>>384162
who the fuck reads that shit?

I used to clear through a book a week on average. Not sure why, but I lost any drive to read near the end of high school, trying to get back into reading slowly right now. Maybe two months for a 300-page book at my current rate. That's going up to weeks without opening it, though.

>>384179
Judging by the size of the threads, I'd imagine quite a few people. But yes, you're on 4chan and clearly above it all, I'm sure.

>>384162
who gives a shit about moot?

i'm an unemployed lonely virgin and not far off despair... /lit/ is the closest thing i get to meaningful discussion, don't think all chantards are secretly worth anything

>>384193
His mom, maybe?

>>384162
On that formspring thing? Do you have to sign up to see questions there or something?

>>384203
No, he had massive 1000+ reply threads on /a/ and /r9k/ for a few days, and the classic red text telling everyone about them.

>>384209
I see. I tend to ignore them, since most posts end up equating to "epic xD".

>>384209
HAHAHHAHA YOU GO TO /a/ and /r9k/

HAHAHHAHAHAHA YOU CARE WHAT MOOT HAS TO SAY....HAHAHHAHAHAHH

>>384219
I went because of the red text. It was a semi-interesting read when you weed through the ass-kissers.

moot is the cancer that is killing 4chan

>>384227
really? what could possibly be interesting? UHH YAHH SO PHP BLAH DOO BEE BLAH

>>384235
His views on capitalizing on the site, or more specifically his decisions not to.

>>384244
>not too....hehehehheheheeh oh wow naive

>>384245

Your trolling attempts aren't getting anywhere, if you haven't noticed.

>>384250
Are you on some alternate version of /lit/?

It's a wasteland.

>>384277
naw. its close though. there are some decent threads here and there. don't deny it.

>>384277
pretty sure he was referring to the exchange he was having.

not the board itself.

>>384287
not really.

>>384293
then you must not lurk on /lit/ much.

had a good discussion on clockwork orange the movie vs the book the other day. also had a good discussion on classic japanese lit recently where anons shared some authors i hadn't heard before. it was pretty cool. too bad you're so jaded, bro.

>>384300
>discussing a movie
>good thread

>>384300
lol. This shitty board has been up 3 weeks. I've been here. It's slow as molasses.

Oh wow a convo about an entry level book like A Clockwork Orange and moonspeak!

>>384315
board has been up way longer than 3 weeks now. welcome though. hope you like it here. if not i can't imagine why you'd stick around.

>>384307
oh whatever stuck up nigga. we were discussing the book with and without the last chapter. don't act stupid please.

I read in my school's library during my lunch period, it's part of my "don't eat so fucking much diet", so I get a 2.5 hours a week dedicated to reading. When I carry a Terry Pratchett book arounds, I read 3.5 books a month, although it crawled severely when I was reading Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. (Wonderful book)

I read about a book a day, though I only read plays and count them as books, so in terms of actual pages it's like <200 a day.
Not proud...

So, how avid of a reader are you?

Don't read as much. Haven't read a book in about 2 months, but I do read some books on and off, so at least I'm not intellectually deteriorating.

I have been reading Infinite Jest

FOR FOUR MONTHS

When I have more then 3-4 hours free at the end of a day I'll spend it reading.

Read a manga series or one or two novels over the weekend. I've been reading a lot more now that I've started buying used hardcovers over the internet.

8+ books a month.
