I genuinely think the worst thing the internet did to reading was convince people that finishing books is a competitive sport. You don't need to read 52 books a year. You just need to read. Books you like. At your own pace. And think about them for longer than a TikTok video.

@Daojoan "finishing books is a competitive sport".

Interesting, I hadn't even heard. Are there prizes?

Only ego stroking on social media etc.
@raymaccarthy @Daojoan oh, I'll pass. Seems like it would be too easy to cheat in any case.
