They don't finish them before they review
I don't actually read them. I just add as many as possible.
they do it the tai lopez and pewdiepie style
both of those intellectuals could finish that many books in less than 2 years
I knew a girl in school who had legitimately read over 1,000 books before she was 18, kept track of them all on her computer. She must've read like 2-3 per week for the longest time and she would always speak in detail if asked to the point that she was definitely not a poser.
Sadly they were all either YA fiction or autobiographies about famous people post 1800. We'd read 1984 or Siddhartha in class and she'd have no better depth to her analysis than some C/D student who'd be illiterate if not for modern pedagogy. I never said anything, just kept quiet because I was beta then. I would've tried to wife her if not for her acceptance into Georgetown University, which she subsequently moved across the country to attend. She majored in Psych and PoliSci, so she's either an okay Psychologist or some congressman made her his cumslut by taking advantage of her naivete. sad. Thanks for reminding me user.
At 300 pages per day for 9 years, from age 14 to 23, you get 1971 books. That's approximate child years of schooling. Assuming the average book is 300 pages. No? A page per minute for five hours per day makes that perfectly feasible.
>time to bring up a jewtuber that no one cares about worth allotting air to
300 pages per day is a ridiculous amount
I read a ton of garbage before I was a teenager and barely remember any of it. One year I read over 200books but it was like holes, anything with a dragon, series of unfortunate events, and all of redwall. I stopped reading in highschool and then started reading heavy again after. I've read close to 3k and I'm 27 but so much of it was YA adolescent garbage I almost wish I didn't.
Imagine being Nabokov and having read everything from Shakespeare to Joyce before the age of 16, that level of neet and autism is truly something phenomenal.
Adjusting it to from 5 to 10 hours per day makes it even more realistic if 300 per 5 hours triggers you too much. One page per two minutes. Still 2000 approx if you read for 9 years.
I guarantee anyone reading 300 pages a day for any significant length of time has atrocious opinions.
Speedreaders
Look at all the retards ITT. Go to any random booktuber. They read three to five books a week. Yeah yeah it's all YA trash blah blah we know but it's still an accomplishment. I would like to see any of you pull something similar.
>I would like to see any of you pull something similar.
But I would prefer not to
That's actually depressing to hear user. Sorry about that
>audiobooks and Blinkist counted
>YAF series books counted individually
Same here but I don't have any idea how much YA lit I read I never kept track and don't really consider fiction as something to checklist.
I'd much rather have the ability to find and read one good book per year than read 1000 shit per year
Some people (usually women) don't have any hobbies outside of reading (commonly fairly easy) books. Add to that the ones that had a kid and decided working was no fun and suddenly you've got a ton of free time and nothing but reading to fill it with.
if you read comics/manga/graphic novels etc, then a single 200~ page volume takes around 20 minutes and they're counted individually as separate books.
You're not going to truly appreciate a great work if you've read like 20 books in your life
>YEAH I KEEP SCORE OF ALL THE BOOKS I'VE READ
Lol, I'm a published author and I've only read about 50 books as an adult.
People who enjoy reading tend to read a lot.
>I would like to see any of you pull something similar.
How is it an acomplishment? Are you retarded? Literally anyone can sit down and read.
100pages a day is more realistic account. So make it 27 years not 9 and I agree.
Maybe they don't post on Yea Forums 8 hours a day
Well yeah, only consumercucks read a lot.
The way you think about women is depressing. Get a grip, man.
That's bad. If you want to be a good writer you need to read more.
I listen to audiobooks at 1.5 speed and record them on good reads

This is meme advice and not true.
In a pub I'm routinely visiting there's this working class dad bod in his 50s, who reads absolute shitton. Like 4 books a week, 300-400 pages each.
And he's walking, talking (barely, see below) and beer guzzling "lol, he reads fiction" meme.
He reads only the absolute garbage - exclusively pulp war, crimi and thriller stuff, the usual you see with older female audience on goodreads. When I offered to lend him some better regarded works in that genre (iirc Rambo), he refused citing he finds such works being "plot hard to follow and confusing".
Weirdest of all, he speaks just like a typical normie - that is, repeats few phrases over and over, forgets whatever it is he was trying to say mid sentence, cutting off with "whatever", only for 10 seconds later to continue from that point etc. Absolutely no vocabulary or somewhat erudite wordplay you often see with people well read.
Stop thinking in Xbox Live achievements
I’ve read and re-read and been poring over the gita for the last month, must’ve read it at least 15 times. Do I count this as one or fifteen? Is this even relevant?
>"read"
there
>Some people (usually women) don't have any hobbies outside of reading (commonly fairly easy) books.
How does one find one of these women?
When I was a shutin teenager I would read a book a day. That went thru most of my highschool years.
I would get home, starting reading and only stop for bathroom/eating/sleeping.
Then I discovered internet shitposting, chans, started watching crap on youtube and netflix, etc
Goodreads combines wants to read with read.
They're probably just speedreader scum
1-2k books by your twenties isn't that many if you actually read a lot.
I can kill a YA in an afternoon. They're the junk food of books and shouldn't even count.
>casually reads 300 pages a day, every day
you would die.
>"plot hard to follow and confusing".
imagine being so retarded that basic genrefiction is confusing for you. people like that just want television in book format. cheap easy fast consumable garbage.
oh
