Short-form and Focus

I’m not entirely sure what “short-form videos” are. Any video under an hour is insulting to me. Two and a half hours is a much more respectable duration. Short-form are TikToks, right?

In any case, what I recommend is reading novels. Long novels. Or even novelistic universes such as Trollope’s or Balzac’s. These are excellent for focus.

  1. Yes, short form is TikTok length.

    While I do watch longer videos than that, hours long videos sounds like my personal version of hell.

  2. About novels. I got sick of reading non-fiction and decided that the best way to learn about people of any country is to read their best novels. So I searched for the list of the best American novels but all I could find is some leftist garbage (the Atlantic’s list had a book called “I Love Dick”, kid you not). Would you be willing to compile a list of worthy American novels you recommend? I would greatly appreciate it.
