isotope239 🥸💻🇺🇦😣@fmhilton I think I've read to the end of around 50 books this year. I have the Kindle app on my phone and read any time I'm in a doctor's office or waiting on something etc.
The Turtle@fmhilton it was F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Tales Of The Jazz Age." I used to own a physical second printing. I read it on my 14-year-old Kindle
Nathan A. Stine@fmhilton exactly one.
James Wells@fmhilton

unicorndeburghI've read 105 books in 2024, so far.
It's mostly light reading. I need distraction from the dumpster fire of these election year.
Galen Strickland@fmhilton 1 book? You're kidding, right? Let's make that 80.

They know what they did.

playinginthedirt@fmhilton one is a very low bar.
@fmhilton I voted yes how did it end up no?
Paul Fenwick@fmhilton : Read to "the end" is shaming my ADHD towering stack of "in-progress" books next to my bed!
isolWhy stack them *next to* the bed?
The reason that beds are larger than humans is so you can have your in-progress books Right There™ in bed with you.
What do you do if you finish a book on a freezing cold night when you're all snuggly toasty?
Disturb the covers to reach for the stack next to the bed? 😱
Philistine!!
ChefRaven@fmhilton 64 so far and this was a very light year for me. I’m typically around 90 total.
The Chris Dantes@fmhilton I average 12 books a year. This year I'm way below because War and Peace is taking forever.
Hill403@fmhilton
Finally read "Kafka on the Shore"

Ziusudra@fmhilton multiple paper books, with my eyes
ArchaeoIain@fmhilton this survey could be improved. I mean, how many people would answer if they had NOT read a book to the end? Then I assume there are people who have read 50 books, but in between what is the distribution?

The Cat Herder@fmhilton I mostly read technical administration guides, and they never F’ing end. Ever.
Chris Green@fmhilton a LOT more than one. Can't imagine reading only one book a year.
Earthy in EV heaven@fmhilton At least one book? I read about a book every day and a half. So far this year I am up to 164
Doreen32128 ready to rumble!@earthmothering9 @fmhilton Wow, that’s impressive!
