So many people are like "I don't have the time or the luxury to read" ..Listen all you have to do is take out 20 mins of your social media time to Read .

[@Kerm88]

maybe at that rate they might finish half a book a year!

[@ivolederer1237]

@@Kerm88 Actually, it‘s more like a month. If I take the audiobook of „Red White and Royal Blue“ as an example (which is quite long at around 400 pages), 20 minutes a day will get me to finish the 12 hours of audiobook in 36 days.

[@laperalta2870]

Even if it’s 20-30 pages

[@keepuwu-ing7653]

30 mins a day will get u 20-30 pages a day depending on how fast you read, so in a week you will go thru 20x7= 140pages, in a month you will read aprox 20x30=600 pages so you will finish a thicccccc book in a month or 2 smaller ones. So in a year you would finish 600x12=7200pages. An average book is 400 pages so assuming you'll only be reading 400 page books, in a year you would burn thru 18 books. In 10 years you got 180 books

You are never too old to read any type of book. Ever.

[@ջուլիաննա]

wish I could participate in the challenge but it's quite hard when you work 9 hours a day

[@coreandarlionstarot]

This is also my problem. Love to read but working 8-9 hours a day does not leave much room at all to get the important things done, let alone downtime to relax and read if you so choose. Maybe 2 books in 30 days for those of us who have to work too much? That’s a goal I can get behind actually.

[@ruthsamworth5077]

I agreeeeee

[@saathvika4036]

Totally agree. 2 books a month is the most i can manage. The only time i fo get to read is my commute to office, and i read for that 1 hour without fail everyfay.

[@V.Pickford]

askdi 12 hours a day is even harder especially when it’s 3/4 in a row

[@aid-96]

I do 8-10, you can wake up earlier to meal prep and schedule 1-3 hours of reading before bed. Usually can manage 100 pages an hour on average 50 pages an hour is normal. It boils down to commitment and enjoyment, creating obstacles and saying I can't be bothered or making excuses isn't going to help. No disrespect just being blunt.

[@vanessam3444]

Wish I still had the time to read this much. I used to spend summers as a kid reading all day. Now at 24, I am currently working a full-time job and it's definitely harder now that I have to worry about making dinner, working out, doing chores, etc. I need a vacation lol!

[@nbtstan3198]

I have no idea what working a full time job is like, but I believe you can somehow make time to read, even if it's 3 pages a day or less!

[@vanessam3444]

We are everybody's friend Of course I still read! I’m talking about the days when I could read a whole book in a day & I didn’t have any other responsibilities. I meant this as I miss those care-free days of childhood.

If you enjoyed the premise of History of The Rain, you might enjoy Fun Home by Alison Bechdel. It’s a graphic novel & a memoir about Bechdel’s relationship with her father, who committed suicide when she was in college. She is basically decoding her relationship with him, and much of her relationship with him was based on literature. She uses examples from Colette, The Odyssey, Ulysses, and various other works to make some sense of her father’s life, death, and treatment of her.
