I'm sure this is true.
However, if someone else offered that list I'd call complete bullshit.
Forgot this is the internet and people do lie on here. I have read all those books of course a lot of the Kindle ones are short stories but I still believe they count.
I list my books I read at end of the year as a tradition. Started for me on Reddit just go look up my user name on there and you will see. Only reason I posted now instead of end of year because this the first time since childhood that I read 100 books.
Why this is possible is two fold I am fast reader always have been, and second my job finally allows me to read at work. Second job that allows this.
But I am always reading weather during my lunch break, or just relaxing at home on the weekend.
He's mine (all ebooks, so no pictures)
Some of those are novellas, but some of them are really long, so probably balances out. When I'm not working and my chores are done, I'm usually reading.
See you read Children of Time. You read the rest of the series?
I've read the second, which I liked tremendously, but haven't gotten to the third yet.
How did you read Watchmen without pictures?
It was on Kindle with pictures. In fact, part of my reason for reading it was to see how that was. It was actually good - I was on a tablet, so not too tiny.
Sure, but like, weird flex.
I mean that could be complete bullshit, who would know? I'm more inclined to think the sort of person that lists all the books they have supposedly read is probably the same sort of person that is trying to show off and therefore likely to exaggerate a bit.
Either way, good for you if you enjoyed them. Weird to think anyone else would care.
Maybe take one book and talk about how it made you feel, or something.
Not sure how anyone would consider it a brag, any more than listing movies that you watched or whatever. I have the list handy because I make notes about each book so that I can refer back and they don't blur together. I was just saying it doesn't seem unbelievable to me.
I did post my list to the SF community here after I had a year's worth, along with my notes, in case it would help someone else with their reading list, which a number of people said it did. Still not a brag, just info.
