in 2021 I set a quantitative goal of 52 and was able to pass it but for 2022 it's more qualitative and as long as I get to like 30+ I'll be happy

want to read more non-fiction and write my thoughts and takeaways from each book after I finish it

fiction wise, last year I was reading more contemporary fiction but this year I want to read more of the classics and more challenging work in general

already got a pretty good reading list I'm excited to read through

how bout y'all? we can check up on this thread as the year goes on to hold each other accountable too

I made a goal for 20 books for 2022 and I expect to pass that.

more importantly, I want to start taking notes while reading, like doing little sticky notes markers for memorable quotes or ideas that I want to come back to.

Also want to throw some more nonfiction into the mix, don't know what yet but i didn't read any nonfiction this year so I want to change that.

Taking notes is a great thing to do imo. I do it and then summarize the notes in a Word-doc when I finish the book. Do it for every book you read.

Also great idea OP. My plan for every year is at least one book every month (12 in a year). Hopefully I can read more than that in 2022

nice, always good to set reachable goals

one thing that helped me read a lot was having a long list of what I want to read so I'm always excited about what's next. that way when I finish one, the next day I already have another to start

one thing I realized as I got back into reading this year is that there would be so many great passages in the books I read but once I was done with the book, i'd have a hard time remembering where the passage was and what it was about so to counteract that it's about that time to be a more active reader so what I read actually sticks with me past the duration of the book.

e-readers are GOAT for that

long video, but I'm trying to do what this guy does when it comes to note-taking on non-fiction books

it's a bit technical and extreme but I started using his Notion template and hopefully it'll be useful to have my summaries, quotes, takeaways, and notes all organized like that

I’ve watched this guy before! He’s one of the youtuber’s I watched so I can decide if I wanted to get a Kindle. I haven’t seen this video tho, imma peep

start reading again

Read 1 book

Got a stack that has some heavy hitters so if I can read 20 of them I’ll be happy. I take notes during and after each read as well. Just keep my brain moving and helps me remember more tbh. If I can finish Gravity’s Rainbow I will be elated.

Read 30 pages of ktt a day

What type of non fiction do you like. I have many recommendations. Wasn’t till the end of this year where I decided to take a break and read more fiction.

read a book a month

my attention span has gone down the s***ter and I basically only read online summaries of books now

Finish a classic book. I'm talking Victorian Era type s***.

Read one 'epic' novel (in terms of scope)

I’m open to anything, I don’t have a preference. So hit me with whatever you got

Finally finish out my backlog. Take advantage of university library while I have access

Read 20+ books again,
I had a great 2020 for reading but really fell off with the hecticness of life in 2021.
Got 2 books for christmas/my bday and have been finishing off the other 3 im part way through so i can start those asap.

35 books

read pedagogy of the oppressed, how to hide an empire, and the half has never been told.

In addition to 35 books, go back through the nonfiction ive read and summarize

Topic Goals:
Financial Literacy
Management
Astrophysics

Bet I’ll add em to my list, thanks

Only managed 6 this year, I want to do at least one a month 2022
