How do I read so many books? Open book, start with the first word and continue to the last one.
I read fairly fast, but I do not speed read. I wouldn't even know how to do that. Its part of the reason I can't do audiobooks, they are just too slow for me and I can't speed up the voice as it then sounds un natural and just doesn't work. There is a huge difference for me in reading faster than using my ears to listen. I can't explain it, but there it is.
I still have time for other stuff, work, home, etc. But I do mostly read as far as my hobby goes. I also read when I am just sitting having breakfast, or take a lunch. Instead of staring into space with strangers, I read. Whenever I find a few minutes, I read. On weekends I can manage hours at a time in a block which is nice.
Very often I will read while my husband watches a show after dinner. So thats another 45 minutes right there. Takes me about 2-5 or so hours to read a full length book. Depends on stuff.
I think its just a matter of what else one has going on. What other hobbies there are, etc.
Its not a competition, there isn't a gold star at the end of life for reading the most books. I just want to read as many as I can because I love reading stories. And I just want to know what else there is. So I want to read all the books.
