ASK HN: How many books do you read per month? And what kind?
Would be great to know...thank you for sharing with us.
- russell 17y agoI'm not pg or even pg passing as a commoner, but I read 4 to 6 science fiction books per month, 1 or 2 technical books more if I'm starting a new gig, usually not cover to cover, and 0 to 1 general interest science book. Thank whomever for the general humanities requirement in college. I can converse with a little knowledge about Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Milton.
- IsaacL 17y agoI don't believe you, you're obviously Paul. It's not like anyone else visits these forums.
- pg 17y agoWhy don't you change this to ask everyone? That would be more interesting.
- yc4ever 17y agoI can't seem to find a way to change the title - can you please help? Thank you.
- yc4ever 17y agoThank you for changing the title Paul. Please add a comment of yours as well - it would be awesome!
- johnnybgoode 17y ago"yc4ever", someday you are going to look back and feel embarrassed about this.
- rodrigo 17y ago2 or 3, mostly history, non fiction and technichal. Back in the day, with no internet available and more spare time, 10 to 15 books monthly. Also I used to read mostly fiction. I dont miss reading more paper books, the internet provides on demand knowledge.
- dawie 17y agoI mostly read business type books (even though I am a hacker/techie). I try to read about 1 or two a month.
- justinchen 17y agoUsually 3-4 books a month. I try to read 2 kinds of books at a time: 1 business-ish book and 1 fiction. I read the business book during the day and it helps me keep learning and I read the fiction book at night before bed or any time I want to decompress. Going to the library is a nice daytime diversion too.
- allenbrunson 17y agofor me it would have to be books per year: maybe two or three. i know it's kind of a cliche, but the internet killed my need for them.
