Reading Is What We're Doing Now. Does The Following Come Next?

9 replies
It is said successful entrepreneurs read 20 or more books a year. That seems like a lot of books to read; almost two books a month.

Does anyone out there read that much on a yearly basis. I'm just sayin. I'm curious.

Cause if you do, . . . I really need to kick up my reading skills.

    i have heard about a billionaire reaching 1 book per day. he does it by speed reading, only reading the first sentence of each paragraph. can go through a book in about an hour and get about 80% of the books content in it!

    i use to read 1-2 books a week and have audio books going .. but i was making up for e first 20 years of my life bearly reading anything and no knowing much at all .. know i will listen to /watch youtubes from people who teach or write books.. as i pick up i pick up information much better seeing and hearing someone a few times ..

    the reading of all or part of 1000 book in 5-10 years was as much to get my reading speed up

    When I was school and college I was reading 3-4 books every week but they were mostly romantic novels but cannot read even a single book in a week now.

    I usually read 1 book per month. Besides that I also read ebooks and some online news if that counts as reading.

    I've always been an avid reader, these days I probably read 2 or 3 books a week. I prefer reading to tv for relaxing in the evening but it's usually a mixture of non fiction or self development and fiction.

    The reading culture seems to be dropping with most content being digitized in recent times. I mainly read ebooks online.

    I read 20 to 30 a year. Depends on the size and how much reading time I put in.
