I spend most of my time on the computer
the instant gratification provided by the internet has conditioned you.
You'll just have to battle through it. I'm lucky, I guess. The internet was barely a thing when I was a kid. Reading was a big part of my life from a young age.

Because it was you I was trying to appeal to most.Jump off a cliff you pseudo intellectual faggot.

After those two I'm gonna take up Swedish literature to learn words for the SAT-thingy. While reading that book, and doing the maths etc, I will sometimes read the pdf that you recommended, but I'm not hyped for it because of the higher importance of the above, and the fact that it's a pdf. and not an actual handheld book.
