I’m 42 with a full-time job and am at 103 books read so far this year.
The tricks are to put a lot of time in it and always have a surplus of interesting books on hand. I spend around $2k a year on Kindle books (if I talk to someone and they mention a book they like, I’ll usually just buy it) and make reading a daily habit.
I read on average an hour a day on weekdays and two or more hours on weekends. Reading is one of the things I enjoy the most and has been for my entire life.
- edanm 2y agoOut of curiosity, do you also listen to audiobooks? And dammit, I thought I read a lot, and here you are beating me.. I'm only at 101 this year... :)
- paulcole 2y agoAudiobooks very rarely. Only if I’ve heard the “performance” of it is good. The last couple I remember were Great Gatsby read by Jake Gyllenhaal and Devolution read by Judy Greer. I live in the Pacific Northwest and listened to that one while trail running. I do really like podcasts though and am at 360 hours listened this year, almost exclusively while running, walking, or doing chores around the apartment.
