I read 56 books in 2022. I don’t think I’ve ever read this many books, except maybe as a preteen when I was blazing through fantasy novels. I listen to a lot of podcasts and read a lot of articles that mention books, not to mention all the references in other books. I keep lists of books that I might be interested in, which I end up buying books off of. I consider it a firehose and I only end up consuming a portion of them. I’ve always wanted to read more though and I finally figured out this year how to actually read more. The secret is to…read? I decided that if I found myself mindlessly scrolling the internet, or playing on my phone, to pick up a book instead. I don’t have stats on my average time reading per day, but it’s probably more like an hour now as opposed to 15 minutes before bed.
