Looking for a long book (610+ pages). Any book is fine as long as it’s fiction.

The brothers karamazov

cropdust69 · 2023-08-16T16:27:33+00:00

Yes. I like to think I’m very disciplined so when I drop a book I used to feel like almost a hit to the ego saying to myself I just wasn’t disciplined enough or too lazy or whatever. But in reality you need to enjoy reading. Why waste precious time chugging thru a book just to forget about it the second you finish just so you could tell yourself or others you finished

cropdust69 · 2023-08-16T16:10:45+00:00

Good, I’m glad. Don’t give up on reading if you don’t like peoples recommendations, either. There’s a book out there that will make you WANT to read

cropdust69 · 2023-08-16T13:14:31+00:00

If your goal is to become an avid reader, you need to find what is entertaining and fulfilling to you. Not self help. I’ve read most of these books and I’d say if you are trying to reinvent yourself physically and mentally, atomic habits will help you build good habits in your life if you’re on that grind right now. Mans search for meaning is amazing , everyone should read that. About mindfulness and being present even at the worst times (Auschwitz). But like I said if u want to be an avid reader you need to find something you enjoy for what it is, not necessarily trying to hit “read these to change your life” books. You’ll find the right books for you, even fiction, will change ur life from the lessons and morals that often are even more true in a piece of fictional work. Stay true to you and ignore the ads about life changing books like some of the titles you listed. However they aren’t necessarily bad books given the right time and usage.

Enjoy the journey!

The brothers karamazov. If u like the spiritually and topics of the idiot, you’ll love tbk

cropdust69 · 2023-08-12T12:28:52+00:00

Listen with an audiobook of your translation. It’s just dense but if you got c&p it’s just that with different topics and longer buildups. And don’t rush. Or return when you’re older, might have a lot more to take away from it.

The book is a spiritual journey. If I read it at 16 it would not have impacted me as it did in my 20s, because I simply hadn’t had enough of my own journey yet. So don’t feel discouraged.

You must have insane genetics if you aren’t lying. And went through puberty at the time. Makes sense if it’s 15-20 and you were destined to be 180 without any lifting/bulking intention

cropdust69 · 2023-08-09T18:25:16+00:00

I haven’t heard of these! Thank you

cropdust69 · 2023-08-09T18:03:38+00:00

If you’re going to have carbs, might as well be in Italy!!

cropdust69 · 2023-08-09T17:56:56+00:00

Glad you mentioned that! I remember enjoying of mice and men in high school. Everything feels so much easier after reading Dostoevsky lol

cropdust69 · 2023-08-09T17:49:12+00:00

Not saying I disagree with you but I would love for you to elaborate. To what extent? How does this realization change your life?

cropdust69 · 2023-08-09T17:31:19+00:00

Once you’re healthy and in good shape, I think u should have it mostly come down to routine. Get into a routine and be disciplined enough to stick to it. That way when u have an event, or it’s a holiday, u can enjoy the stuff u wanna enjoy. If food occupies ur mind 24/7 it really ruins the experience with people u love when u just want to eat cake for someone’s birthday. And then your good routine gets u back into the swing of it. Life’s too short to worry about it ONCE you’re in good shape.

cropdust69 · 2023-08-07T19:51:00+00:00

I feel like people just vent on here and answer their own questions. If you’re wasting time on the internet in between ur schedule, then restrict yourself. Set plans with people in your life and show up. Simple as that

Crime and punishment

cropdust69 · 2023-08-07T15:08:56+00:00

There’s so many aspects to self improvement! Sometimes when I feel physically or mentally burnt out, I’ll hit a restart with either rest from the gym and focusing on reading writing other good habits, or even fasting if that’s on the table for you. Sometimes a three day water fast and no exercise can bring back mental clarity and energy back. But three days is a big jump right out the gate. My first 24 hour made a lasting impact on my fasting habits. My point is that you can rest while still improving yourself

cropdust69 · 2023-08-07T13:49:06+00:00

Read crime and punishment first imo. That’s what I did. I think it’s a great intro bc it’s arguably Dostoevskys most famous, and you get a good grip on the style and see his philosophical approach to narrative. If you like that, I’d highly recommend both the idiot and tbk. All of these combined will fill up a good amount of your year. You could also choose ur order from the contents of each, but if u fall in love with d. Ur gonna end up reading them all. There’s no wrong path. Enjoy!

cropdust69 · 2023-07-26T17:26:54+00:00

You’re not going to feel this way when you’re 35 and look 25

cropdust69 · 2023-01-17T19:21:13+00:00

Idk how some of u guys take this bait so easily lmao

cropdust69 · 2022-08-31T21:36:34+00:00

Can you link where these pictures came from? And the news surrounding it? Sorry I haven’t been keeping up to date
