Whenever you see things like this, or just how many pages Stalin read in a day, I'm just blown away. I'm such a lazy motherfucker, goddamn

don't be too hard on yourself - a) he probably didn't read all of these and it is some intern's job to make this list b) reading for fun and reading for information are too different skills. You can buy a book on philosophy, skim 50% of it and deep dive into a single chapter.

Various people who knew Andropov well, including Vladimir Medvedev, Aleksandr Chuchyalin, Vladimir Kryuchkov[92] and Roy Medvedev, remembered him for his politeness, calmness, unselfishness, patience, intelligence and exceptionally sharp memory.[93] According to Chuchyalin, while working at the Kremlin, Andropov would read about 600 pages a day and remember everything he read.[94] Andropov read English literature and could communicate in Finnish, English and German.[95]
