This year I have set a target of 30, I think I'm struggling mentally with things I can't really describe which is keeping me from indulging in my reading, I dunno, I think that for the last 3 or 4 months I've been low key depressed for no reason, I just don't have any desire to engage my brain, I've been far happier spending countless hours watching youtubes recommended videos, fucking horrible headspace to be in, I'm trying to drag myself out of it though.
That is still very decent. Many don't read much at all. I guess I can do 3 in a month if it is relatively straightforward material, but if academic then I have to slow as the writer obviously wants to tie you in knots for kicks. All in all it evens out to about 30 a year and that is fine with me. It's not like being a kid and reading 1 a week with it being 150 page kids stories. I study a language too so there is only so much I can process in terms of time and information. Have to do other things whence giving up gaming and avoiding TV etc.
