Do you often read blog posts? I think the only way I would manage to read 42 books in 6 months is if I stopped reading blog posts and programming resources. I'd like to know how you've manage to read 42 books
- x1798DE 10y agoNot OP but I "read" about 150+ books each year (90 so far this year) and usually more than half of those are audiobooks that I listen to at high speed (2.5x-3x) while doing other things. The others I usually read at the gym. I don't often read blogs, but if I did I doubt they'd interfere with the audiobook fraction, anyway.
- redrummr 10y agoI'm wondering the same. Of you look at the books being listed in this thread, though, it's apparent there is little fiction or other material to truly savour: everything is skim-friendly. You could probably get through one of these a week while on the elliptical or during your commute. I wish people would qualify their posts with relationship status and employment type. If you have a partner whom you value, and are in the formative months (pre-alpha) of a start-up as a main developer (or hybrid, or one-man operation), is it really beneficial for so much new information to be making its way into your head?
- cryoshon 10y agogotta disagree here... there's really no skim-friendly material. everything requires involved thought and active, critical reading. edit: also this is the first time i've ever heard marx or chomsky described as "skim friendly"
- cryoshon 10y agoi don't really read blog posts. i just read to and from work, and at the cafe on the weekends. i also read during the evening at home sometimes.
