gm, i've read 53 books in 2023 so far, will probably crush my record for number of books read in a year (i think it was ~50?) — aiming at 100 books this year

i've been reading 20-50 books over the last 4 years consistently, trying to get to 1000 books in 20 years

Damn! Good for you! I can’t do this any more. The highlight of my life in book reading was when at 14 I finished entire children library in my hometown and I was allowed to move up to the adult one 2years ahead and begun reading shit that I shouldn’t have 🫣

My question for you is how do you find books? The biggest issue that I have rn is that it takes too long to find good books that I for sure want to read (I’m talking fiction) so what I do is that I read everything by a certain author once I find an author that I like but I always run out 🫠

I love sci-if as well but unfortunately I find most books are terribly written (I blame my writing MA for that) which prevents me from enjoying most paperbacks. I had to even stop reading Lovecraft because although he’s iconic and his ideas are cool his writing style is 💩

i love hard sci-fi and there're always lists "best hard sci-fi" on the web :)

for non-fiction i have a running list of recs where i add books rec'd by anyone in my env
