My goal is 50 books this year. I've always enjoyed reading but with television and movies changing in a way that doesn't interest me, I've decided to really ramp up my reading and get in all that I've always said I'll read one day. I'm on track for 65 books this year and I'm not slowing down.

Good for you. I was told in another thread (in the M/TV board) by an "avid reader" that's there's "no way" anyone reads 4 to 5 books a month. He's obviously never visited the Reading Challenge.

It's not hard to read 1 book a week.

Kind of depends on the books you like to read. I'm a pretty fast reader and I can't get through a Malazan book in 1 week unless I really push nonfiction and history are also pretty difficult to just sit down and crush pages.
At the same time read plenty of 400 page books in a single sitting if I get really captured by a story.
Right now work is the busiest we have ever been and I go fishing a lot - but I get through a good number of audiobooks when I am doing that at least.
It certainly is doable by a wide range of people - but you have to be pretty committed to it, it isn't something that someone can just start doing without giving up other things that they do.

1st page bump because I don't want to search page 2!
Posted on 6/19/21 at 11:34 am to Sneaky__Sally
Top of page bump - about halfway through and I am just about right on pace for my goal. Hoping to finish 21 or 22 by end of June to get ahead
Posted on 6/21/21 at 7:08 am to Sneaky__Sally
Finished number 30 of 50 yesterday. I've got to read half a book a week to finish par. I've gotten a lot of classics long on my list finished this year.

Updated list on Page 1. Started #41 this afternoon.

I'm returning four books today that I checked out of the library last Tuesday. My last post in this thread was 64 for the year. I'm currently reading number 93 right now.

It depends.
If you are single, retired, have no kids etc it’s really easy
If you have a full time job with long hours and 3 young kids at home it might be damn near impossible.
Assuming we are talking about actual reading and not audiobooks.

My list has stalled out due to a combo of Malazan #4 and caring for my infant.
