Oehhh!

*And thus, the one-year-one-book challenge was born...*

Oh, I have known some people that fit that description. I read x books this year. Or "have you read __" guy.

there’s definitely a group of book readers that do it to tell their friends how many books they read each year, i guess there are forms of signaling in all hobbies.

i bet one would learn more by intentionally reading as slowly as possible than by trying to race through books just to check them off a list.

i kind of wonder how extreme you could go with this approach… if you were only allowed to read one page per day, how much more information would you absorb?

Do you guys actually comprehend the books you've read?
