Why are Ariosto and Tasso so expensive in translation?';
'>>23361700
Difficult to translate because it's poetry and especially long poetry
Also obscure so they need to recoup the costs of the translation by increasing the price';
'Depends on their length of course. 2 or 3 normally but I have kids and a job.
I just order 1-2 months worth of reading, seeing the unread pile of books laying around actually motivates me to read them.
Not putting a book on the shelf until I finished with it.';

2-3 at a leisurely pace. More if I need to for something I'm working on or get into a fever for words. Less if I am getting filtered, I am very stubborn.';
'>>23361690
In my freetime, I usually read three books at a time. One novel, one educational/philosophical whatever and one light novel or comic or a collection of short stories. I try to read 10-15 pages per book per day, Meaning 30-45 pages in total per day.
Number of books is of course hard to say, but with 40p daily i end up at about 1200p per month, so i guess somewhere around two to three books per month.';
'>>23361690
Depends on whether I am taking notes or not. If I am taking notes 1-3; If not 3>';
'>>23361690
Really depends. I generally dont count individual books because obviously lengths vary greatly. I generally read about 1000-1200 pages per month though.';
'>>23361690
I normally intend for about four (one of which is the Bible that I read every day), but I usually end up having time for only one or two';
'>>23361858
This. Educational/philosophy during the day then fiction at night to unwind.';
'>>23361690
0.1 book on average';
'I have about an hour on the train to uni so I can read about 200 pages a day with two hours consistent reading, I try to only read two or three at a time, otherwise it feels like I'm not giving enough attention. one non-fiction, one fiction, and maybe another. I feel like I should slow down though.';
'>>23361711
Obscure?!
Maybe compared to Dante, but I can't think of any other pre-1900 Italian poets more well-known.
Maybe, just maybe, Petrarcha.';
'>>23361690
Reading for numbers will make you miserable. Read for pleasure, abandon books you lose interest, pick'em later, just read whatever and whenever you want.';
'>>23361690
i once read 20 books in one month yes they were all very short under 200 pages but still i am proud of myself';

This is what they get for hiring academics with zero literary capacity or discretion.';

I have a huge list I rarely deviate from';
