How many books do you read per year (approximately)?

I just got back into reading. Currently reading Hyperion.

I've gone through phases in life where I read a ton then others where I don't read a book for years. #thatslife

Hyperion is excellent.

If you like it, hit me up. I have recommendations you will dig.

Whoa you read a lot, I love it. I'm loving the book already and I'm 19% in. (thx for the zap, my brutha 🀘)

Have you read Hyperion books 2 thru 4?

Nope. I read the first one only.

I’m aiming for 15 next year. Looks like I might hit 12 this year

That's awesome! 🀘

My reading kinda ebbs and flows, but I've been reading a fair but lately. Over the last month or so I've read two books in their entirety, read parts of another one or two, and re-listened to a 6 book audiobook series. A lot of times I use audiobooks and ebooks via TTS as background audio when working/gaming/driving etc.

Overall, if audiobooks count, maybe 30-50. If audiobooks (and using TTS to read some or all of an ebook) don't count then maybe 2-10 depending on the year. But just a rough guess.

That's awesome, bro! 🀘

Heh, well, in the last year, I read my husband's bitcoin book while translating it, and then I wrote most of, and read our latest book multiple times as I edited it, and now I'm reading while editing my husband's soon to be released book.

I think these are all I've worked on this year, so 3 I guess πŸ€”

Then we've listened to a few audio books too, but I usually don't count those to the same degree as actual reading.

Oh that's so awesome! πŸ™πŸ§‘

Thanks. ☺️

The spring before I met my husband I had the goal to read from the bible, a Christian nonfiction, and a fiction book every day, so I got through quite a lot that year. But then I got married and completely changed my habits and instead of being alone a lot so I had silence to read, I had another human who would talk to me, or listen to stuff "out loud", which is how I got vicariously into bitcoin 😎 but basically stopped reading, and then started writing my own books instead. 😏

Makes sense. Glad you're writing πŸ‘

Some years it’s been 10-20 per year, others less. Depends on life obligations

I hear ya πŸ‘
