If you have other obligations and limited time a book per week goal creates a selection standard for shorter books over higher quality books.

Rationality from AI to Zombies is a 50 hour audiobook. I'm half way through it and I really wish I hadn't put it off so long.

I used to do book count based goals. For that reason I abandoned that and decided to focus on monsters I had been putting off.

My book queue is about 3 feet tall right now 😬

Currently reading Surviving the Economic Collapse (based on first hand experience from an Argentinian)

This sounds fascinating and useful. I hope you share more about it.

i will have time for some to span 2-3 weeks with shorter ones to make up for it

Share the most important thing you learn from each! 📚

That was how I used to sort of manage it. This one is taking me a bit longer than 2-3 weeks though. I basically went on an only long books bender after I quit my yearly goal.
