I hope all of my moots find great success in life and have killer careers. Partially because I love you. Partially because I want you to fund my books.

I already stated how it can be conquered in the post. Of course, reading books will only let you know that what you're experiencing is not unique with you and people before you also experienced it.

Read to create. Read to understand. Read to build something new. Read to carve profound ideas into your skull. Read not to know but to comprehend. Read to think, to dream, and to become the person your future-self is begging you to be.

Consistency with writing has tiers: 1) Those who write daily and protect the habit fiercely 2) Those who write most days and forgive the gaps 3) Those who write in bursts, then guilt-spiral the rest...

“I am too smart to read books.” - Andrew Tate “You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” - Ray Bradbury

The literature professor is a man who has spent his life studying keys under a microscope. An author is a man who can pick a lock.

The people who say read books as the sole way to become a better writer have never written a successful novel ever. Yes books are great, read books. But also go camping Get your heart broken Deal with an annoying neibor...

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries: "It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones....

every adult should atleast read 4 or 5 books a year. reading is literally more important that you guys think it is

C.S Lewis on why you should read old books: “If one has to choose between reading the new books and reading the old, one must choose the old: not because they are necessarily better but because they contain precisely those truths of which our own age is neglectful.”

language is ridiculous. a typical sentence is ~20 words from a vocab of ~50k. that’s 50,000^20 possible sequences. most of those sequences are pure garbage, but the ones that land restructure reality for the reader. & when it is finished the writer is almost always slightly sur...

TIL I despise "contrastive metadiscourse with metaphorical distancing", Codex's term for Codex's pattern of mealymouthed word vomit Banning it in AGENTS.md, let's see if that helps

please, read books. not just captions, or carousel posts, or what made it to the top of your feed. read books. long ones. complex ones. you cannot build a mind with weight on the back of social media ephemerals. intellectual depth demands patience.

People say reading books is just a hobby. No darling. It's a personality, a lifestyle, a coping mechanism, a love language, a form of emotional damage, and the sole reason for my high standards.

I really don't understand writers, especially small or "indie" ones, who come on here to argue on the "reading a lot of books is impossible " side. Well, if you think I can only read a limited number of books, I'm certainly not going to be reading yours.

G. K. Chesterton explains that reading gives a man more lives than he was born with: “A man who has read a thousand books is armed for life; a man who has read none is easy prey. The man who has read a thousand books has lived a thousand lives. He has seen cities he has never...
