Your magic number could be anywhere between just one book next year or one novel a day, though that is probably only possible for the Booker Prize judges, who have to work through around 170 books across seven months.
Book clubs are a great way to meet like-minded readers and it’s fun discussing the books together. I run a book club in my city and our monthly meeting is what we eagerly look forward to.
Wonderful! I like the recommendations and helpful tips to read more. Outside of work, I read about 12 books per year for leisure. For work, I have to read not just books but news, blogs, op-ed pieces. I have also been trying to do some serious reading with a friend but reading with someone else is a much slower process but it helps absorb complex texts better. Your article makes me want to read for leisure even more. Keep up the great writing!
Yeah - I think the two years in grad school were when I read the fewest number of books for leisure; it's really tough to come back and read a book when your workday is filled with reading. Hope you and your friend work through some amazing texts together this year :)
Yes, setting up reading rituals like reading while commuting definitely help. I read 27 books in 2024; hoping to read more than that in 2025.
Yes!
