When's the last time you read for 24 hours straight?

>>24566839 (OP)
Never done that because thats stupid, is like doing push ups for 24 hours. Your body wasn't meant for that.

>>24566849
Sometimes you just can't put a book down. You don't know that?

>>24566852
What, did you pick up Proust and get this urge on the first page? Good lord, more than four hours in a sitting and I'm certainly going to need a break.

>>24566839 (OP)
I think I read almost 24 hours when I was traveling by night train and had the unabridged The Stand with me. 1200 pages or something. I was also 14 or something.
Before that I read LotR pretty much non stop for days but not 24 hours.

Endurance reading is so masturbatory and pointless

You don't love books if you don't read for hours on end

>LOOK AT ME IM READING GIVE ME ATTENTION

>>24566985

>>24566839 (OP)
There's no way she stopped eating for 24 hours

chud

I get that but unless your book is 1200 pages you shouldn't need 24 hours. And what's the point of reading multiple books in a single day.
Fact of the matter is that you can only get away with this reading behavior if you don't have to let the material marinate in your mind.

Also meant this in response to >>24566852

You can let "material marinate in your mind" while reading multiple books.

>>24566839 (OP)
This bitch clearly has a moderation problem.

>>24567439
You can, but you shouldnt, and people who do these challenges dont. You can jerk off while you drive, but you shouldnt.

>>24567460
>You can, but you shouldnt
I am sure most people in academic jobs can and should read different materials. I do, anyway.
The main difference is that you do that every day, forever. Maybe pick up a thing or two that you can use later in writing.

1st year undergrad polisci. Didn't study all semester and the final was on arbitrary sections from the course readings. Good times.

>>24567469
>For job/career prospects
>For entertainment
I am also sure most people in academic jobs dont read 24 hours without breaks, knowing their ability to soak up the material deteriorates tremendously, precisely what stops you from effectively letting the material marinate.
There is a difference between reading multiple books for a study for a few hours a day and 24 hour nonstop readgoonfests.
Lastly, the people who do these challenges, are not those kinds of people. We arent talking about mediocre academics, we are talking about women.

Books become exponentially less enjoyable after 1-2 hours of reading. Especially if you're actually thinking about what you read. Even the most enjoyable book I read in years I only put 3 so hours a day in for it.

>>24567481
Oh I understand now, your gripe is focused on the "reading multiple books" angle. Thats not a problem
>you can only get away with this reading behavior if you don't have to let the material marinate in your mind.
This reading behavior is not about reading multiple books at a time, its about reading for 24 hours a day. I only mentioned multiple books in response to >>24566852
Because one book is easily finished in half a day, slightly less.

>>24567482
You need to sleep and dream to integrate new info anyway. Tortoise wins the race in that respect.

I bought Breaking Dawn, went home, read from afternoon until morning, then drove to school only to get reminded thst most of my class wrnt for a trip to the cinema and classes were cancelled.

>>24566839 (OP)
considering that she appears to be a female booktoker, she's bragging about attempting a 24 hour goon sesh

ive probably done something like 18 but i cant remember when. i like the idea of 24. what's the max break permitted?
