What's so strange about that as a concept? As someone who grew up in the 90s, the idea of doing so is totally normal for me. I mean, I don't do it, but I wouldn't blink at someone else saying they did.

How do you think people achieve the goal of 50 books in a year, for example?



Also a 90s kid.

I hated going to bed as a child (all that wasted time!) but my parents cleverly said I could read in bed if I wanted to stay up.

I usually fell asleep within an hour or two anyway, and I ended up reading a huge number of books, which served me well.

My wife and I sometimes read together before bed now. It definitely aids sleep.


I read but 50 books in a year? No way.


That's only ~1 book a week, which seems perfectly doable? Definitely if we're talking about spending 1-2h/d on it.


It's literally a thing people do, sometimes specifically because it forces them to disconnect in their down time outside of work.


I could do 1-2 books in a day if I made time for it like I used to.
