A book is 1 point an audiobook 1/8. Half a book or audiobook counts half as much.
Will resolve YES if @jojomonsta reads more books.
and resolves NO if @justifieduseofFallibilism reads more books.
If we both read the same amount of books the winner is the person who read the longest book.

@jojomonsta out of
The Man Who Loved Only Numbers: The Story of Paul Erdos and the Search for Mathematical Truth - Paul Hoffman
The Dice Man - Luke Rhinehart
Berlin Now - Peter Schneider
Are there any you really liked and/or would recommend to someone who likes math, computers, history, geography etc?
@firstuserhere i mostly read the Berlin Book because i spent 5 years living there.
The other 2 books i absolutely recommend!!
The dice man is more about philosophy and how to live a life without regrets. If you like math or history or just special individuals you should read the Paul Erdos book.
@jojomonsta id say they are both must reads for you. although in both cases (or most books in general) i suggest skimming or skipping parts as soon as you get bored. i didn't skip anything though
@Eliza I wrote a comment asking you about it, but I have no idea how I could have accidentally resolved it N/A. I undid it.
@Eliza I figured it out! I was supposed to be N/Aing a spam market, but must have accidentally clicked into this tab instead. The spam market was still alive (now N/A'd). Sorry!
@Eliza So...any updates on your book reading? It says you'll be posting your updates in the comments and it's been a while.
(Maybe you're too busy walking)
@Eliza I decided to mostly just update the description instead because the comments get too confusing. I last updated the description 2 days ago.
@firstuserhere Audiobooks are only 1/8 because I like listening to them but jojomonsta7777 doesn't, so if they were worth one point I would easily win because it is so much easier to listen to them than to read a book. Also, because both of us think one learns more from reading books than from listening to them.
If I just count up the points from the comments it's 3 for my brother and 3 and 1/8 for me. But I have finished another audiobook since then so in total i have 3 and 2/8.
