about halfway through the year already

how have y'all been doing with your goals?

I haven't been doing too well smh. gave some classic novels a chance but couldn't get into them at all and gave em up. been reading some non fiction but haven't taken notes

but I've read 22 books so far and the average length is longer than last year so that's good

I've also been reading more in Spanish which is cool

didnt have a goal but I know I reads a s*** ton, right now im reading 5 books at time maybe next year ill actually keep track of it

10, mostly busy with uni but I can read at least 20 by the end of the year

5 at a time

most I can simultaneously read is 3, a novel, non fiction, and short stories. I've been trying to read one at a time tho to give each book my full attention

you should check out goodreads. great website for keeping track of the books you've read and the ones you want to read

I usually have a schedule to read them in the morning id read a chapter at least from 3 of the books before work, and during work when I have free time or find opportunities to slack off I read the fourth.

The 5th book is a book to learn to draw so tbh it shouldn't really count

What’s ur username on there

On track to do this

Doesn't this get a bit boring for you?
I guess I can see how delving so much into one topic(especially one with some real world applications) would be interesting but still I find that a bit hard

Especially cause I can't be without nonfiction

im wayyy behind but at least im still reading. reading book 6 (a little life) of 20

I tend to dive deep into a certain marxist topic like philosophy or political economy, right now im just trying to get through all of Mao work.

Though it did get boring at times. Honestly I forgot that was my goal, reading commie literature help open up my love for other literature again, and I actually accomplished my goal.

I'm in the middle of a bunch of things. Need to get better with that

Trying to hit my normal goal of 60 books.

Sitting at 26 currently, so I’m doing alright. Also want to try and get through all of Berserk this year, I’ve always meant to.

My first year setting a goal so I went on the safe side and did 10. I’ve just finished my 10th tho so I underestimated

So far I've read pretty much all the books that I set out to read except for Earthlings and The Road which I both DNFed. Currently planning on reading A Gentleman in Moscow, Master and Margarita, and The Shadow of The Wind. That'll wrap up the backend of my 2022 schedule

Do you count manga and paperback novels in the same category or do you separate them

I usually count a few volumes of a manga as a book, I read a number of monsters that I feel like kind of makes up the difference.

Tryna finish the rest of Outlaws of the Marsh. It's not even that hard in reality, I could churn out the rest of this in like 3 and a half months if I dedicated like 20-30 minutes a day to finish 1 chapter a day, but sometimes I find it hard to maintain that consistency when there's so much stuff that interests me that I also want to spend my time on.

I'm aiming to read 25 books this year. I hit twelve in May, but I've graduated since then and started working for the Summer before law school starts. On top of that, I'm reading Hegel's Science of Logic, so my progress has been brought to a halt. I hope to finish it in a month and go back to novels again after that

Half way through the year and I’m 2 above my goal. I made the switch up last month to non fiction because I was reading a bunch on fiction and they were all door stoppers and I needed a fresh plate of theory. As soon as I made the switch up this was zooming.

how’s Hegel so far i plan on reading him eventually heard he’s super dense

my goal was to finally finish the stack of books that i've accumulated over the past 5-6 years, though i started last year so not specifically limited to 2022. and about little under half of the books i will have read by the end of the year are not part of this group. number wise it'll come out to 40ish total if everything goes to plan

right now at 17

Starting the Novelisation of 'Once Upon A Time In America' tonight

Can’t believe I just found this thread…..
