How do you guys decide what to read next? I've purchased around 100+ books at this point, but I've only completed six in the span of 2 months. Out of the six, four were light novels that have 15+ entries, so I never know whether to continue reading the series until completion or to start anew...
>four were light novels that have 15+ entries
you're cleary doing something wrong, m8.

Why do you buy 100 books in the first place? How many of them are lit approved?

Where I live we have a shelf filled with books. I've seen most of these books around the house growing up so I know them at least by name. I usually chose books by, in this order
>author
>recommendations
>title
>heard it mentioned on /lit/
Of course the size and general aspect of the book have an influence on my choice.
I like choosing books because I spend a lot time on each one.
also, this>>8009502, did you buy a wheelbarrow of books? How did you chose them in the store?

I'd say around 20% are JP light novels (Spice and Wolf, LoTGH, Yahari), 20% Japanese Literature (Kabo Abe, Yukio Mishima, Eiji Yoshikawa, etc), 50% European/American Literature (LoveCraft, GRRM, Tolstoy, Homer), and 10% are other (non-fictional history, resources, programming, gardens, plumbing, etc)
The Barnes and Nobles in my area closed, so I was able to get them all just for under $150, and I spent another $50 on Amazon books.

Open pdf/epub/whatever from my not read folder.
Read.
Move to read folder after I'm done.
Rinse and repeat.

Start with Tolstoy. And burn your light novels
> B-but why!
Life is too short for reading garbage. Thank me later.
