Reading pace.
Mrs Southern will usually read one every 4 - 5 days, while I take about 10 days to two weeks to read one. We read every day though, so she may complete 75 in a year while I complete about 30. We read numerous genres, so someone seeing our reading list would have a hard time figuring out what we like best.
I don't really keep track, and some books take longer than others. I've read some light cozy mysteries this year that only took a couple of days to get through, and some weighty history tomes that I can manage about ten pages per day, with plenty in between.
My Pace has been slowed down by a couple of books for my book club that I just couldn't get into. Little Fires Everywhere and My Brilliant Friend were like reading and assigned book for a high school book report. Painful for me. I think the authors have a mental illness and passed it on to their characters!
I was an extremely slow reader growing up. I think I would have been diagnosed as ADHD if there was such a thing back then.
I was never patient enough.
When I did it was in spurts, only a dozen or two in my first 60 years.
My nudism curiosity had me researching kindle.
In the past 4 years I've read everything on kindle I know of with a nudist or naturist theme.
25 - 30 so far maybe more.
It still goes in spurts, usually when I find TN getting boring for lack of interesting topics.
I do!
In my past, that is the only type of book I would read.
It needs to capture my interest right out of the gate.
I've been reluctant to plow through boring chapters at the beginning of a book and just put them down and move on to something else if there wasn't enough energy or excitement.
I liked Tom Clancy's early books as I could relate well with them due to my military background.
Ironically, the pandemic has slowed me down. The lack of a reliable income has forced me to spend more time pursuing freelance gigs and learning new skill sets, which leaves me less time for reading. The book I am currently on, and the previous, have both been about the Java programming language, which is one of the new career skills I am working on.
