you read all this in 2013? I call bullshit.

  Why? 20 books, 500 pages each on average, that's 10k pages. Divide by 300 days, that's about 30 pages a day. Certainly doable for fiction.

    its not the question of "is it possible?", its just that these are always listed amongst the 'top 100 books of all time' and each needs more than just 'reading time' you cannot read Ulysses and 1984 the same month, physically you can, but that would be useless.

      Why would it be useless? Do you imply that top 100 books are harder to read?
      • waqasx 13y ago
        top 100 books deserve more time.

          Actually, the better the book is, the faster I read it.

  Why? One of the years I bothered keeping track[1], I read a hair over 50 novels (I think the actual number was 51 or 52), and a handful of non-fiction books I didn't bother counting. And one of those was Moby Dick which isn't exactly a fast read. For somebody who likes to read and has time to read, that list doesn't seem outlandish to me at all. shrug [1]: http://www.jroller.com/mindcrime/entry/fictionlist http://www.jroller.com/mindcrime/entry/fictionlist
