You read 90 a year. I’ve read 75 a year while going to school or working full time. So it’s possible to read more, and for more than 10 years.

(However I might lose my mind if I did that. Even at 75 I started to feel like I was wasting my life with over consumptions.)

I've read 56 books this year--keeping track of them is pretty much all I use GoodReads for--and it's feeling like too much. Not many of them stand out in my memory.

I've seen people on GoodReads reading 200+ a year, which sounds insane to me.

I’ve pulled back to like 25 a year and another 10 I start and don’t finish and I’m happy at this balance.
