There's nothing stopping you from reading whatever you want.
That's true, but I kind of have to study, so there is less time, if any time at all to read what I want to read. But I passed the most important exams, the most difficult ones, now I only have a few that I don't have to study that much for, so I will start reading like a motherfucker soon... I am stuck at page 250 of War And Peace, I really want to read this, I am totally hooked ever since that old Russian soldier who was the only one to stay and fight got mocked and prince Andrei stood up for him. It was a wonderful passage.
Glad you're enjoying the book. It's the best I've ever read, and the best I'd imagine I'm ever going to read. I'm doing an English degree at the moment, so there is absolutely zero time for personal reading. We go through about a book per week, with several books on the go at the same time. Being forced to read certain books expands your tastes and helps you appreciate different authors and styles. I hated books like Sterne's Tristram Shandy at first - but studying them is an eye-opening experience.
I kind of never had a problem with diversity, I'll read just about anything, even something that I don't like or don't agree with. Knowledge is a virtue and you have to know as much as you can. The problem that I have is really stupid, but I can't shake it off. It's just that I like to read when I want to read and what I want to read. You know, this teacher gave me Milton's Areopagitica to read, but I was reading On The Origin Of Species by Charles Darwin. I would read Milton's book out of my personal interests, but I want to read it when I want to read it. Right now, I wanna read Karl Marx, so I'm gonna read that.
It's not always about what you agree with. I just finished a bunch of Wordsworth which I don't agree with whatsoever; nevertheless, it still makes a great. Anything which prompts you to think about the material, whether you agree with it or not, is worth having a look at.

I cannot read a book if I don't like it, at least on my own free will. You see right now I'm being forced to read one of the worst books ever written in catalan , jesus I hate it so much, seriously I can only read 10 pages max per day.
I swear once I'm done with my exams I'm gonna head to the bookshop/library and pick some books up, I was thinking maybe "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Truman Capote since I really enjoyed the movie.

I spend all my time at work or with my girlfriend nowadays. I'm... kind of missing TNS.
(And that's partly because Tapatalk doesn't work and I'm too lazy to use my phone's browser!)
