In my anecdotal experience, a lot of such people don't really read 100+ books; they go over the letters of 100+ books.
I'm not here to judge though, do whatever floats your boat. Personally, I feel a lot of the "100+ books a year" appeal is in the social aspect of "look at me, I am smart."
- estaseuropano 6y agoWith all due respect, I don't think your comment adds much informarion or discussion value, just a bitter aftertaste. You might want to consider deleting it.
- BossingAround 6y agoI'm honestly not sure why you perceive the comment as bitter. In my mind, it's a simple and dry observation; nothing more, nothing less. What it adds to the discussion is raising the question "why would you want to read 1000+ books a year?" Finally, I'm not sure why I would delete the comment. If it makes you uncomfortable, I'm afraid that's on you...
- Brajeshwar 6y agoHey, opinion read and accepted. I did check up and see that you mostly post bitter comments. I hope and wish that your actual life is way better, experienced with ups and downs, and have exciting things happening. Well, I might have done a lot more other things than boasting around on social media about the number of books I read. We were discussing books here, and I was just delighted that I stumble on others reading more than me. [Redacted] Sigh!
- ajfjrbfbf 6y agoThis is totally unrelated to the discussion. What's the point to boast whatever volunteering you do to counter the fact that someone said you were boasting in the first place?
- BossingAround 6y agoI wanted to respond, but between listing personal accomplishments and personal attacks, there wasn't much to respond to. Maybe just that what you consider bitter I consider quite matter of fact. This is a cultural difference; if you work with Europeans, you'll encounter it a lot more.
- Brajeshwar 6y agoAh! Thanks for the cultural heads up. This will help us when hiring and working with everyone from everywhere including the Europeans.
- AntiImperialist 6y agoOh, fuck off!
