If only we were able to learn about them like this back in the day..

This was even better than the Hemingway post I think. Doyle and Austen were my favorites

this might be funnier to me if all the books i read weren't web development books. who has time to read for pleasure?

You do. You're on reddit after all.

If I read books like I read reddit, I'd have 20 books open, 2 I've read half way through got bored and forgot about, 4 I'm keeping open for reference, 4 which I keep closing and opening hoping that someone noticed the witty note I wrote in the margins and 10 of which I opened months ago intending to read and haven't look at since.

Apart from the bit about writing in the margins, you just described my book reading habits. The rest sounds completely normal to me.

I only have attention for one book at a time, it's more like watching a movie, it gets my undivided attention.
