1 year agoIve done this and ive also done the opposite-read it all in one sitting because it was making me sick and I needed to just finish it.
I had to take breaks with memoirs for a geisha even though I was so enraptured by the prose because I was so sad. With lolita I finished it in one sitting because I was disgusted.
Additionally when I read poetry or some novels with nontraditional prose (the road is a really good example) I cant just finish it in one sitting. I get struck by how beautiful it is and need to take breaks to think about it.
Fwb recommended I robot which was on my to read list for a while. I decided to bump it up so that I could know his tastes a bit better and it was amazing. Definitely made me 100x more interested in him and the books he reads lol
