Books were cool in the 1800's but in the last 120 years they've had movies.

see you later boyos
Did another 10 pages last night reaching page 60

Made it to page 100 today so another 40. I seem to do 10 pages per hour like clockwork. Starting to remember this was the same when studying textbooks. So it took me another 4 hours. Yeah probably I would fail miserably at that theology degree. But I can maybe just do it as a hobby.

I also tried reading silently but my mind would get lost so I switched back to reading out loud. It's kinda fun and allows you to practice accents

What I learned so far: the author of this book was a savage and singlehandedly decimated the Plymouth Brethren. At least that's the impression I'm getting.

I find it kinda hard to believe people can enjoy reading. It's absolute torture, but they say it's good for your brain so I'm going to try to stick it for a few months
