KiJ he/him Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) I'm curious as to how many books you people read in a year. Personally I'm not a big reader, but people on this website seem like the biggest reading fanatics just like my friend, ever.

Robin Sedai she/her Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 I used to read literally hundreds of books a year, but about early 2022 I went into a huge reading slump and I read a lot less now. I'd guess somewhere in the 60-80 bracket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my friends would spend time on social media anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wittles he/him Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 I used to read a LOT more, but I kind of stopped reading so much when a bunch of crazy family stuff popped up, and I'm gradually starting to read more books again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 I've never actually kept track of how many I read I used to be in the 130+ range but that's slowed a bit more recently.

Hazard of reading all the books you can find Lol yes XD I don't think I've ever gotten to the 130+ range, but I was in the 80-99 range for a while.

Edema Rue she/her Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 I mean...I don't have time. I threw out sleep a couple of years ago, and that's definitely helped my book consumption. Right about when I started doing that, I was actually over 200 a year. (I can read most simpler books in about a day, and at the time I was catching up on all the books between the magic tree house and the hobbit, since I skipped everything in that range). Now I've slowed down a lot since I have a lot more to do, but I mean I still read. My parents take away books to punish me ... No I'm not a nerd, the amount that I read is actually incredibly unhealthy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least books aren't the worst thing you could get addicted to. In fact their probably one of the least worst things you could get addicted to if it makes you feel better. Like sure could could be overly addicted to exercising, but you could become very underweight depending on the circumstances. At least if you read you also have audiobooks so you can exercise while reading. You also have a library, which mine has both physical, digital audio, and ebooks so money consumption isn't a problem which does come with most addictions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True true, but money isn't the most important currency; time is. And nothing is more time consuming than an addiction. Anything including reading, writing, words in general...I once spent like 2 hours writing an essay about the political geography of a fake country on a fake world that I created for fun.
