I start a book > I buy three books because they're cited in it > I start three books

Start reading a book you've been putting off.

Right now.

Do it.

You'll enjoy it, I promise you.

My strategy has been to block out an hour in the evening where I go do some reading. I find having a routine really helps, often I'll read more once I start, but this way I know I'll read at least an hour each day. Once you get the habit formed, you start doing it naturally. Another thing I found is that it's ok to abandon books. Sometimes a book just doesn't do anything for you, and I used to try and push through, but realized there's really no point reading a book you're not enjoying.

I imposed a moratorium on new books until I chew a chunk out of my pile. In the meantime I make lists, and whenever a book is referenced again I put a check by it. It helps prioritize my future purchases.

I've been using https://bookwyrm.social to track my reading lists. It's pretty nice.

This seems pretty cool, is there a Lemmygrad or Hexbear group on here?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

I haven't seen one, but perhaps it's time to start it. :)

"Oh, can I borrow this?"

"Um, no, I'm reading it."

Is it true that cats fear melons because they remind them of snakes ?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

they're scared of cucumbers I think, not melons

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

So its safe for me to put my melons next to my cat ?

OH MY GOD. Is that the reason why they get so big ?

I've really cut down on that, but I still have random stacks of books lying around to make me look like a wizard and appease the silverfish gods.
