There is a read more, he has read them over the course of 35 years.
I quote: "A few readers have Emailed me asking how I manage the time to read. But it should be noted that the books I have reviewed I have read over the span of about 35 years. The reviews are posted at my leisure, and it should not be concluded that a book review that is posted 3 days after a prior one implies that the book was read in three days. Most of the books I have reviewed I read long before Amazon was even conceived. The books were therefore not read in the sequential order in which their reviews are posted.
For a technical book, I usually spend a few months (calendar time) studying it. I do not monitor how much real time it takes me to read the book as this is not of interest to me. For a non-technical book, a few days or possibly a few weeks calendar time."
Blame your short attention span ;-)
- pestaa 16y agoI wonder why he clarified the timespan to be in calendar time. Is there any metric I'm not aware of in which 'a few months' makes total sense?
- tlammens 16y agoProbably trying to distinguish between (24 * 30 * x) hours (where x is the number of months) and just reading while a couple of months pass but not every hour of all those months? Reading the complete interval vs. just during the interval? :)
