I was always a book snob and did NOT want to be read to. And then I had babies and my free time disappeared. You gotta get that reading in however you can-- while driving, cleaning, cooking… My life changed when I started a family and then audiobooks changed my life :slight_smile:

No books would be sad. That is the one thing I don’t like when people compare too much. Everyone that can read, should. Just strive to read something each day. Keep up the good “work”. When it becomes that we are not reading the right stuff

I read 312 books last year, and that is so many more than previous years.
