I probably only get through 6-9 books per year. I wish I read more, but four kids, other distractions, slow reader, etc.

Lol, I guess I should count those books too!A lot more now having a kiddo than I did the years without a kiddo.
Probably average a couple of books a night.

I try to set a goal of at least 1-2 a month
Reading a good book is a good stress reliever. Sometimes I go to a coffeeshop and read. I just can’t find the time to do it more oftenI usually get through 30 or so each year. I always try to shut the TV/computer off an hour before I go to bed and read to decompress from the day.
Have a kid, you will read 2-3 a day. #littlebluetruck
Are you including listening to books? Many of my coworkers/friends count books they listen to as books they have read. I think reading a book is very different. I don't read as much anymore so around 12 a year now.
Any reason why? I'd say most of my reads are also because I like biography's. I do like a good story now and again though.I read only non fiction. Id estimate it at 30-40 per year.
Not sure why you think that way you're processing the same information. Personally I don't do audio books as I like to listen to podcasts in the car.Are you including listening to books?

Agreed - both are good but listening to a book is not the same as reading itNot sure why you think that way you're processing the same information. Personally I don't do audio books as I like to listen to podcasts in the car.
I like biographies, I like finding how people got where they are, I like to find why things in history happened, and I always like to be learning. Fiction can be good and interesting, but at the end I always feel it was a waste of time because it was all make believe. Right now I'm reading The Last Island by Adam Goodheart, and when I finish that I'm going to read David Crosby's autobiography Long Time GoneAny reason why? I'd say most of my reads are also because I like biography's. I do like a good story now and again though.
Well I think that's obvious, one is visual and the other is listening. But you're still processing the same information and can learn the same things by doing either.Agreed - both are good but listening to a book is not the same as reading it
This winter I got Mathew Perry and Kirk Herbstreit's biobraphy's. Haven't gotten to either yet just finishing up "It's better to be feared" But looking forward to them.I like biographies, I like finding how people got where they are, I like to find why things in history happened, and I always like to be learning.

I was on a real rock and roll kick for a while. Seems like maybe I still am if I'm going to read the book by David Crosby. But I read Bono's autobiography, Stevie Nicks's, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Neil Young.This winter I got Mathew Perry and Kirk Herbstreit's biobraphy's.

If you haven't read Green Lights, Matthew Mcconaughey's biography I highly recommend it. He's live such an interesting life, it's my favorite that I've found so far. Skip Justin Timberlake's, it sucks.I was on a real rock and roll kick for a while. Seems like maybe I still am if I'm going to read the book by David Crosby.

i've been using kindle also. are those year by year stats in the reader's menu? or do you need to log into the amazon website?Basically all of my reading is on my kindle which keeps track of such things. And I thought I was a light reader, but apparently not compared to HORT:
2022: 27
2023: 23
2024: 11
I used to read mostly during my commute to and from work, but then covid happened and I only read three in 2020. Now I do most of my reading while walking around the neighborhood, often with a beer or two.
