It seems most people are including audio books, which isn’t quite the same in terms of effort.

Really? I think focusing on audio books is different but not easier. I cannot listen to audio fiction, for example, but really enjoy audio nonfiction. I both read and listen to a mix of “easy” and “hard” books.

Audio books take more time and effort. It's easier to read.

But can you read while you’re driving?
It took me a long time to get into audio books but I love them now.

I’m at 104. The most I’ve read in a long time. About a third were audio.

I'm the one who said I'm at 37. FWIW - I count books that are over 100 pages that I read aloud to my kids - I decided that is reading so it counts, LOL. I starred the kids' books below. Also - I think if people like to read - more power to them. But I have other interests and hobbies as well

Probably 60-62. I’m at 58 now but have a couple of long flights between now and the end of the year.

Same! Kids aren’t all little but four kids 6-15 and I just hit 40.

Wow, I’m impressed! Maybe 10-12? My book reading has plummeted - it’s sad. For the last two years I’ve made the New Year’s resolution to read a book every two weeks…I’ll do it again this year, and hopefully meet that goal!

Probably 20-25.

40. Three were audio books. Three were young adult. Three were rereads.

I don't really like audiobooks, but I do "count" them.

60 since February. After years of not reading much due to having little kids, I'm finally back. I missed you, books!

135. Less than last year; I felt busier at work so maybe that's it.

12

I've read 93 as of today. I'll probably finish two more before the end of the year.

No shame! I’m the PP with 50/100 books being rereads and I promise you most of that wasn’t high literature! Read what you like when you like how you like!
