I agree. Considering word count, I read more now than ever but I read a fraction of the books I used to read 15-20 years ago.
- randomswede 6y agoFor me, the main reason for lowered annual books read is "no commute" (it IS possible to set time aside just to read, but over the decades, I have gotten used to read on buses, tubes, trains, planes... and thus frequently forgetting that I can actually just read whenever I want to). Pre-COVID, I usually managed 120 to 150 books per year. Now, it is probably down to about 40.
