I don't understand.

One day I feel like finishing a book. I start on it. I read 30 pages. Next thing you know, the book is on the bed and I'm on ATOT neffing / gaming / Youtube'ing / etc.


Oh and most of the time, I don't even have the willpower to pickup the book.

Fvck the internet.

I read it in three, since I am a procrastinator and had to meet a school deadline :p

I read it in one. If the book is good I don't want to put it down. More of the kids around here need to get off the internet every once in a while and read a book. We didn't have the internet when I was your age (college) so we either read, drank, participated in an actual hobby, or screwed.

I have the same problem. I recommend audiobooks, since no distractions while you are driving.

You need to fool yourself into thinking that the book you are reading is interesting :D

I read 2 - 3 books a month. If I spent the time I use on ATOT reading then I would double that. Sometimes I think I should do that - I get so much more from a book than I do from ATOT.

because a 5 page paper only takes a good 2-3 hours to write after you've done proper research...

now if you haven't done any research - you're screwed :p

Quoted for posterity.



You really have to be kidding with that statement.
Stuff might be more simple but that's because you don't understand the underlying complexitiy. I guess you live by the creed, "Ignorance is bliss" ?
