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

That’s so impressive. I’m a lifelong reader with serious ADHD. My pace is slow. I’m a lifelong reader but it’s never come easy

sorry to hear that, i don't have adhd so i have advantage here

the best pace is the one that keeps you reading

reading decreases your mortality by like 20%

What’s funny (or not funny) is I majored in Comparative Literature. I was diagnosed with ADHD senior year in college. A long sorted story beyond that but I’m a lifelong regular reader. I love it. It’s just frustrating not being as nimble as others. I’ll never catch up with the books stacking on my shelf.

That’s amazing. Audio helps me. I actually do my best reading to the audio, which gets expensive but SO worth it. 

If I’m engaged with one or the other I often have to re-read or re-listen.  Except listening while I’m hiking, driving or on a train😂

I have ADHD too. I finish 50-80 books per year, vast majority are audiobooks. Before audiobooks I read 10 books per year tops. Obvi I'm just one anecdote, but might be worth a try. Two specific strategies I use for listening:
•1.5-2.5x speed while walking
•read+listen (with highlighter) at 2.5-3.5x speed
