What are your reading habits /sci/?
What kind of things do you like to read besides science related stuff?
Do you read more than one book at once?
I'm c reading La Insoportable levedad del Ser (The Unbearable Lightness of Being), I always read in spanish when I'm out of my house mainly the time I spend at uni or when I'm waiting for the bus.
While I'm at home usually at nights I tend to read in english, atm I'm reading The myth of Sisyphus and other essays by Albert Camus
I'm currently learning french so I just read in french on weekends and I'm reading le petit prince antoine de saint exupéry
Gaunt's Ghosts

Maybe once the semester ends
The dog dies ;_;
I almost cried
I read history books, in English, one at a time and very slowly as pretty busy with uni work.
Currently on Diamonds, Gold and War: the Making of Southern Africa by Martin Meredith. Before that was Congo by David Van Reybrouck.
Loving the African history at the moment. Anybody else keen on history books?
SciFi and nonfiction exclusively
I've got "Strategy: a History"; "Signs and Machines"; "Art as Politics in the Third Reich"; "Operation Sea Lion"; "Air War over South Vietnam 1968-1975"; and "Jimmy Buffett: a Pirate Looks at Fifty" on my bedside table.

That guy sounds like a fucking asshat.
Is that the point you were trying to make?

Did you just start reading literature?
Your tastes are entry-tier as fuck m8.
I've read every major philosophical and literary work, and a hell of a lot of peripheral authors. I stopped counting the books I was reading after 500 and something. I've recently finished a big study of religion with Christianity and the Greco-Roman mysteries as the center of my attention.
Currently, I'm planning a big study of economics, politics and WW2 for the coming break over the semester.
I enjoy literature more than anything, though I love mathematics and computers as well.
If anyone watching this thread has solid knowledge of WW2, please recommend some texts; I have only begun compiling a list and there seems to be no distinct recurring names when it comes to this topic, so I am at a loss when it comes to actually deciding which historians are worth paying attention to over others.
I don't have any distinct habits when I am kept busy by college. Otherwise, I make a good attempt to spend at least ten hours reading or studying, depending on how I feel and on what I feel is urgent. I don't talk to anyone and spend all my spare time in my study. I watch porn when I'm lonely and play guitar and piano in addition to these. It will occasionally happen that I spend all day composing when I have a good idea. (which is usually entirely random periods of creativity and long periods of nothing) That can derail my reading habits.
The most important thing was when I decided to stop talking with people/going out. Before that I was always preoccupied with people pulling me into their drama and their shit get-togethers. Now I just study and I'm working on a book which will be massive among the serious literary community when it comes out.
Screencap this if you want. It'll be around 5-9 years but it's going to be huge. (and will have a lot of references to Mongolian basket-weaving boards, so you can know it's me).
So long space robots
I used to read when I was a kid/teen.
Now I don't.
It bothers me but not enough to do anything about it.
