[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are you guys reading so much? I read about two a month.[/quote]

They may be reading books that don't take long to read. You aren't going to read Ulysses, The Goldfinch, Demon Copperhead, and East of Eden in one month. [/quote]

I read for a couple hours every night instead of watching shows/movies, etc. I also do very little internet scrolling. I work full time and have two teenagers that I run around all over the place (including travel sports).

I don't read "easy" books all the time, though I mix them in. For instance, this is what I finished in March this year.

Triangle: The Fire the Changed America by David von Drehle (non-fiction about the fire in NYC at a clothing factory)
The Great Fortune by Olivia Manning (WWII fiction written in the 1960s, this is part of a six novel series)
Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy (contemporary eco-lit)
Sanditon, Lady Susan, and a History of England by Jane Austen (classic, juvenelia)
The Warden by Anthony Trollope (Victorian classic, reread on audio)
The Real Jane Austen by Paula Byrne (nonfiction about Jane Austen)
Money by Emile Zola (French classic from the 1890s)
Like, Literally Dude by Valerie Fridlund (nonfiction about the English language and how it adapts over time)
Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (contemporary lit)
