Nooo cuz why is this literally me? Whenever exams come around my brain can't focus on anything but reading and vacation time is like ewww who reads not me
Same! That’s actually why I don’t read that often anymore. If I can’t commit an entire day or weekend straight to the hyper focus I can’t even start. Trying to read just a chapter here and there is so torturous!
When I was unemployed and used reading (amongst other things) as escapism, I went through a book a day. Ahh, good times. Now I work and I'm so tired all the time I barely get to read MAYBE 5-10 books a year... I don't think I can even consider myself a reader, it's such a drastic shift 🙁
I actually can't stop if I am reading a book. I almost always end up completing it in a day (Like binge watching series? but better.) But due to this habit I have stopped myself from reading as i often forget I need to do other things too 😭😭
This is why I listen to audiobooks. It doesn't work for everyone, but I can do other things (cook, exercise, drive, walk the dog, etc) while listening to a book.
I love getting completely engrossed in a book! Blake Crouch books are perfect for that. Also the Green Bone Saga (Jade City trilogy) by Fonda Lee and the Founders trilogy by Robert Jackson Bennett are some other favorites I read this year.
I'm the exact opposite, I've been going everywhere with the same book in hand for the last two months but reading 3 books a week on average (5 or more if they're short stories)
When I was 13, I was given the first three Harry Potter books for Christmas (sheltered homeschool life 😂) I had them all read before lunch. It remains one of my proudest achievements 😊
That's incredible. I once read the entire series within 2 weeks, but it wasn't very satisfying. What I mean by that is, I read it so fast that I didn't really get the chance to enjoy it, and I barely remember it. The only reason I did it was bc I challenged myself to finish it in winter break, which here lasts 2 weeks.
I mean, I got the entire Harry Potter book set as a birthday gift, and my dad didn't want ne reading any of it and told me I'd have to return it. So I read all seven books, at night, in about a week. And then had to give them back to the family who gave me it because I didn't want to lose the set.
@@Coolkrobird eh, it was my dad, if I had my way I'd have kept the set, it was a really good set too. Like it was the one that was a chest with a plastic clasp for keeping it closed and some stickers as well, like- I knew it was a pretty good gift, expensive, and to return that because my dad didn't like it? Like, I wanted to read it- hello?
The trick is to read multiple books at once. I usually have one fiction and one non-fiction. Best if they're different lengths as well. You get full of one, you move to the other. You finish one, it spurs you to finish the other and start another. I also find that choice paralysis is weakened when you know you have another book going and there is less shame when putting a book down because you're just picking up the other like planned.
So do you find you retain most of the plot? or that you get the value from reading simultaneously just the same as reading just one book from start to finish?
I read a book a day. Unless it's one of my 100+ chapter books. Then it takes me about 2 days to read that. But I also read on my phone so that may be apart of it.
@@iosifcosminlazar3106 books on tape and no sleep.

I have to for mental health. It balances and relaxed me at the end of the day.
@@cinemaatrium3863 I never said I absorb everything I read. 75% of the books I read are fluff, enjoyable, escapism. I get lost in the story, and when I close the covers as I read the last sentence, details are put aside for a general feeling of “kick ass author, with at least a 90% editor.” (Bad editing makes me drop a book after the 5th missed error, regardless of how good the story is.) I love reading books that are part of a story universe, but have to refresh my memory in each book of the characters. Bottom line, reading for me, is one of my happy places. For my daily books, I don’t read books where I have to skip parts because they are boring or I find the content thick or I have to slow my pace to absorb whats going on so I know what’s going on later. I read books with lots of witty, clever dialogue, fun dialogue, and happy story lines (life outside of books is messed up enough that I don’t want anything too messy in my moments I escape from it). That isn’t to say that avoid all conflict in books the other 25% of my reading slows me down greatly because I am invested in the story/topic, and the writing is more dense. Don’t judge profuse readers by whether they can retain details from every book. Celebrate them because they find joy in so many different books. Independently published authors need us to find and celebrate them. Casual readers will never give them the traction they need.
Being a fast reader and an insomniac helps. I used to be able to go through a few books every week like that before college. Now, I'm lucky if I get through one in a month lol
For those of us who go through our entire collection of books 3 times in less than 6 months, fall in love with 8 different characters, all the while getting the plots, tropes, and story lines mixed up causing it all to get jumbled up into a singular drama story because you are simply try to escape your life!!!
I feel like being able to enjoy reading is a superpower skill not available to many people, but people’s level of phantasia and their upbringing & introduction to reading really seem to be major factors in determining whether people can enjoy reading.
It helps if you complained of boredom in the summer of your 9th year and someone gave you a vintage speed-reading course that had been mouldering in the back of a closet.
Mine too! I would leave with an armful of books and be back with them by the end of the week. I would read 5 books a week on average but I could read up to 9.
@@leviathan1140 what makes it funnier is I’m legally blind, use a white cane kinda legally blind so it was this short scrawny albino girl with a cane in one hand and a pile of books in the other
Yeah, I would max out the number of books I could get in the morning before school, then drop them all off the next morning. Now, I have neither the attention span nor the trauma to escape from, so I'll go through an audiobook or 2 a day, 2-3 days a week.
In middle and high school I remember checking out several books each week from the library. Once I discovered manga I started checking out the limit I could carry every time, and using my belt buckle to prop the tall pile on in my arms. Somehow I kept all the story lines straight, despite reading (at minimum) three series' at a time! Yup, I'm the freak of nature! 😅
Meeeeee!! My school library had a 3 book limit and I'd be there dailyy. Then I figured out that the public library had a 30 book limit AND had whole collections of manga series (back when anime/manga wasnt as popular), i had it all to myself💕 went there at least once a week, wish i didn't have to work, and i could read all day like back then😢
I read like a book everyday and start a new one in the middle of the night.... I'm addicted, especially if it's part of a series and I can get my hands on it immediately.
I used to read a book everyday. When I was in middle and high-school 😅. I never found the time to do it again since. But time to time, I just take a book and spend a delicious afternoon reading it from the beginning to the end. It is so good!
The key is to learn to ignore everyone and everything other than the words on the page. No distractions means endless reading time. Anywhere. Football game, band concert no problem
My life was like that in high school. Then I started working, and also taking care of domestic labor others did for me before. That's when I realized having time to read for pleasure is more of a privilege than an accomplishment.
Tbh it's a really complicated process to read really fast but basically it amounts to scan the words and observe them from like a step back. I can only do paragraphs rn but maybe one day I can do pages at a time
When I was in high school, I also used to read a different book everyday. I like reading but when I was in elementary, our school library was so strict they'd be the ones to give you a book to read and won't give you options. So I didn't bother checking out the library. But all of that changed when I got into high school and found out you could borrow whatever book you wanted as long as you limit the borrowing to only one book. The one book limit was a bummer, but it did end up making me power read through a bunch of books. Sometimes I even finish one book before the day ends. If it was a really thick book though, it would take me two days to finish it off 😅.
I fell back in love with reading just 3 weeks ago when I picked up an unread book that collected dust on my bookshelf for 2 years now. I read that book in 3 days. Then I read a books series of 5 books in less than 10 days, then I read another series of 6 books plus some smaller novelas in less than a week, eventually reading 1+ book a day. Unfortunately I just got back to work today so I wont be able to keep this up but it was one of the best 3 weeks I had in a long time. I have to read 2.5 books till the end of April and then I can brag that I read 3 book series, a total of 20 books, in less than a month
I started reading seriously this year. Novel, webtoon and I'm moving onto manga as well now. Honestly I didn't think I would have this much fun reading
depends on the book's length, i think. approximately 1 or 2 books per month. especially if the book is complicated, i can spend more than a month to read 1 book. i'm not an english native speaker, so many times i have to re-read a whole page to understand what is happening 😂 got real life going on too. oh. bless to whoever created online dictionary. it helps me a lot. muah❤
I set to library loan limit for myself to seven days and the amount of times I panicked read a book because I have to return it in three days makes me read faster
At the beginning of this school year, I had a goal to read 3 books a week and was actually VERY good at keeping the steak. But right around January most of my book serieses ended. So I'm VERY far behind now. I still read tho. 😅
Imagine if there was a library you could teleport to that summoned the book you would enjoy most from any time in the past, present and future. You could read forever and never have to wait for a sequel or struggle to find more books to read.
There was a stint where I went through a book every day - it was literally all of my free time but during that month I was so happy. And then it was over. I had done it. I had read 31 books in 31 days. and then I didn't read for like the rest of the year I was so burnt out lol. Now I'm just happily working through one every two months if I can.
When I was younger, I had a book in my purse, my bathroom, my living room, my bedroom, and then whatever I was reading for school. I can't do that anymore and it makes me sad.
You are going to be such a wonderful mother! I can already tell how much love you have for her and I hope your journey is full of more beautiful memories ❤
I once grabbed 5 books from the library thinking that it would survive me till the end of the week… it didn’t even survive me till the end of the day 😭
I used to read books like my lolas watch telenovelas 😂 Sometimes I forget its a book and think to myself, "huh, I wonder what will happen in today's episode?" 😅😅😅
Me But like it took me a month to atyd cause to many crying,screaming,wishing I had a Mauraders friendships, me crying cuz ik who dies, me crying cause he left grant in the dust, me raging bc Sirius is an oblivious fuck, me laughing my ass off bc it was over the covers, me being tooooooo excited when he came out, me talking w the ghost in my room for comfort bc im confused, happy, sad, and jealous at the same time,, then after i read atyd i related every Taylor swift song w them, then i tried to make moony toast………. It was a long process but im happy i read it……….i CanT waIT to rEaD it AGAin
I used to read 3 books a week (library limits are cruel), now it takes me a few weeks to finish one. I keep going back to the epic parts and re-reading them over and over.
If you read on all your work breaks, read instead of watch TV, and listen to audiobooks while walking/driving/chores etc you can get a lot of reading done. I also bring a book with me wherever I go, in case there is down/waiting time (like car service etc). I still have to work and I have other hobbies like videos and art projects (and love chonky books too) so I can't read a book a day everyday, but typically read 2-3 books a week depending on their length. There are just so many good books out there.. I wish I could read 'em all! 😅
I used to wonder how people got through so many books. I recently realized it's partly because I tend to pick 1000 page monsters with a writing styles that are slower to read.
I was raised in a family where reading a book a day was the norm and it was a shock to me when my friend said: “I read this book so quickly, not even a month has passed.” In my entire life I have never read a book for more than a couple of weeks... unless, of course, it was in the process of being written
As someone who used to do this, it all comes down to 2 things: how fast you can read, and your levels of energy and motivation. I'm naturally a fast reader. My mind goes a 100km/h and I process text really fast, plus I grew up on subbed anime; so overall my reading speed is pretty good. If I have the energy and motivation for it, I can finish books pretty fast; I mean, I finished the entire Twilight series in 3 days because I had nothing else to read and I was so bored so it was interesting enough to keep me going. If you read text slowly, it's going to take more time obviously; but your energy and motivation are the determinant factors here: if you have no energy you'll struggle cause you're too tired to really process the text you're reading, and if you have no motivation you'll stall reading because the book isn't grabbing your attention for one reason or another. Also, you can't read if you have no time in your routine for it, so there's that too.
I remember listening to someone read the book all quiet on the Western front and I listened to the entire book in one night I didn't get a wink of sleep
Can confirm I used to read a book a day. It was fun, teachers didn’t like me. It averaged somewhere around 500 pages a day but I could do double that depending on the books.
The whole reason I figured out how to borrow ebooks from the library through Libby was due to a phase where I was literally reading a new book every 1-2 days
As a kid, when no one is available to babysit me, I often had to accompany my Mom in her office waiting for her to be done with work. I would wait for hours bored out of myind and books were my only source of entertainment. The most books I could read in a day back then was 7. Now though, I prefer to take longer to read each chapter, sometimes rereading a few favourite scenes, and just enjoy each part.

I started reading seriously this year. Novel, webtoon and I'm moving onto manga as well now. Honestly I didn't think I would have this much fun reading
depends on the book's length, i think. approximately 1 or 2 books per month.
especially if the book is complicated, i can spend more than a month to read 1 book. i'm not an english native speaker, so many times i have to re-read a whole page to understand what is happening 😂 got real life going on too.
oh. bless to whoever created online dictionary. it helps me a lot. muah❤
Somewhere on this planet someone exists that hears audiobooks and reads a book at the same time i just feel like it
I set to library loan limit for myself to seven days and the amount of times I panicked read a book because I have to return it in three days makes me read faster
As someone who has infact read one if not two books in one day this is so real its insane
I work from 5am- 6pm every day and still go through a book every 2-3 days 😂
At the beginning of this school year, I had a goal to read 3 books a week and was actually VERY good at keeping the steak. But right around January most of my book serieses ended. So I'm VERY far behind now. I still read tho. 😅
I don't read a book every day, but i can finish a heartstopper book in just a few minutes😅
I’m that one introverted friend with a new book every 3 days ✨💅
The only thing I like about myself
💀💅
Sammmmeee💙💙
There's never enough books. I just finished my third book today, and they were all proper length novels.
You are strong with this power
Even reading 3 full novel length books you'll never read every book in existence as of this moment. You are fine
Imagine if there was a library you could teleport to that summoned the book you would enjoy most from any time in the past, present and future. You could read forever and never have to wait for a sequel or struggle to find more books to read.

There was a stint where I went through a book every day - it was literally all of my free time but during that month I was so happy. And then it was over. I had done it. I had read 31 books in 31 days.
and then I didn't read for like the rest of the year I was so burnt out lol. Now I'm just happily working through one every two months if I can.
When I was younger, I had a book in my purse, my bathroom, my living room, my bedroom, and then whatever I was reading for school. I can't do that anymore and it makes me sad.
I went from not having read anything in the past year to reading a book a day.
Thank you ACOTAR
Girl...there's so many books out there that are actually worth reading with a real plot
You are going to be such a wonderful mother! I can already tell how much love you have for her and I hope your journey is full of more beautiful memories ❤
I had a friend when I was in 8th grade who would go through like 2-3 books a day
Fanfiction is a way to learn that power
I miss having the time to read like that. I do consume them in audio form now though. Much faster to read the physical copy though.
Me who is a student, has 9 hours of classes everyday, yet still finishes a book a day as entertainment: 0.o
Me being the one who goes through a book everyday 😹😭
I once grabbed 5 books from the library thinking that it would survive me till the end of the week… it didn’t even survive me till the end of the day 😭
I used to read books like my lolas watch telenovelas 😂
Sometimes I forget its a book and think to myself, "huh, I wonder what will happen in today's episode?" 😅😅😅
Me who reads 1000s of pages of fanfiction per day:
Me
But like it took me a month to atyd cause to many crying,screaming,wishing I had a Mauraders friendships, me crying cuz ik who dies, me crying cause he left grant in the dust, me raging bc Sirius is an oblivious fuck, me laughing my ass off bc it was over the covers, me being tooooooo excited when he came out, me talking w the ghost in my room for comfort bc im confused, happy, sad, and jealous at the same time,, then after i read atyd i related every Taylor swift song w them, then i tried to make moony toast………. It was a long process but im happy i read it……….i CanT waIT to rEaD it AGAin
@@LizHays-oy4vi I swear Taylor is in the Marauders fandom! ATYD was for sure an emotional roller coaster

I used to read 3 books a week (library limits are cruel), now it takes me a few weeks to finish one. I keep going back to the epic parts and re-reading them over and over.
If you read on all your work breaks, read instead of watch TV, and listen to audiobooks while walking/driving/chores etc you can get a lot of reading done. I also bring a book with me wherever I go, in case there is down/waiting time (like car service etc). I still have to work and I have other hobbies like videos and art projects (and love chonky books too) so I can't read a book a day everyday, but typically read 2-3 books a week depending on their length. There are just so many good books out there.. I wish I could read 'em all! 😅
The way this made me absolutely cackle - AND THEN THE VIDEO HAD THE SAME CACKLE I WAS DOING, SO I CACKLED HARDER
The blanket is so relatable tho!!!!
Did anyone else hear the laugh while their sound was off?
I used to wonder how people got through so many books. I recently realized it's partly because I tend to pick 1000 page monsters with a writing styles that are slower to read.
"Not from a jedi" cracked me up fr 💀
I was raised in a family where reading a book a day was the norm and it was a shock to me when my friend said: “I read this book so quickly, not even a month has passed.” In my entire life I have never read a book for more than a couple of weeks... unless, of course, it was in the process of being written
I used to read a book on my day off, sometimes. It was, if you can believe it, something I did with a relative as sort of a group activity 😂
It’s because I read so fast that I suffer 😅. I once read the last book in my series (600 pages) in two nights. The amount of regret I felt was crazy.
I'M the Person who goes through a book a DAY!
I love being a freak of nature ❤
As someone who used to do this, it all comes down to 2 things: how fast you can read, and your levels of energy and motivation.
I'm naturally a fast reader. My mind goes a 100km/h and I process text really fast, plus I grew up on subbed anime; so overall my reading speed is pretty good.
If I have the energy and motivation for it, I can finish books pretty fast; I mean, I finished the entire Twilight series in 3 days because I had nothing else to read and I was so bored so it was interesting enough to keep me going.
If you read text slowly, it's going to take more time obviously; but your energy and motivation are the determinant factors here: if you have no energy you'll struggle cause you're too tired to really process the text you're reading, and if you have no motivation you'll stall reading because the book isn't grabbing your attention for one reason or another.
Also, you can't read if you have no time in your routine for it, so there's that too.
Slowly becoming a Jedi or a freak of nature because whew, I didn’t realize I could enjoy reading a book as much as I do now. ✨
I read 7 to 8 books a week..
B.S.
@@adriande1 I do though, lmfao. I’m a quick reader and I also have a lot of downtime
i read 6-7 a day 0-0... i may or may not raid my libreary
That is SO adorable!
@@croww18 interesting
As a person that goes through a book every day, it is possible, just VERY VERY difficult. 😅
I remember listening to someone read the book all quiet on the Western front and I listened to the entire book in one night I didn't get a wink of sleep
Can confirm I used to read a book a day. It was fun, teachers didn’t like me. It averaged somewhere around 500 pages a day but I could do double that depending on the books.
Ah yes, another person who escaped using books.
Ya it’s quite sad honestly. It’s just a fantasy it’s like drugs. Escaping your reality
@@Hdkrbrjfofjfndkelehow??? I'm generally confused how is reading bad?
i’ve gone through 3 books today because i am insane and sick mentally and physically
The whole reason I figured out how to borrow ebooks from the library through Libby was due to a phase where I was literally reading a new book every 1-2 days
I have a friend who goes through a book every mil second and she's a pescatarian who smiles while drinking tea and doesn't have a phone
I can read a book every day and I have a 40 hr a week job. It's easy especially if the book is 200-300 pages. Just don't watch TV.
Hi, I'm that friend who reads it in like 2-3 days. The trick is to procrastinate on everything else. And practice. A lot of it.
I can read 500k words in a week if I’m invested. But I prefer to have a selection of books that I alternate
As a kid, when no one is available to babysit me, I often had to accompany my Mom in her office waiting for her to be done with work. I would wait for hours bored out of myind and books were my only source of entertainment. The most books I could read in a day back then was 7. Now though, I prefer to take longer to read each chapter, sometimes rereading a few favourite scenes, and just enjoy each part.
I usually go through 1-2 books every 2-3 days
