PERSONAL MARKET, but feel free to bet

I've not been very active at reading lately. Have read just 1 book in March + April so far. So the count for april = 1 rn. There are 2 books I've read midway-ish, and can finish off in a day each if I found that time. I like reading, but it's just not a priority rn so.

Also, a short book would count, so y'know, if someone has any suggestions

Next one! Feel like there's a much better chance for that given I've already made good progress on 3 books

Update- 50% done with consider phlebas, 70% done with flatland, 50% done with world's greatest speeches. Will finish flatland in 1 hr. But probably not gonna finish 4. Ah.

predictedNO

@firstuserhere Man flatland is a good book

predictedYES

Also if you're in a hurry, any one of the shorter books of the Bible (such as Obadiah, Philemon, or the numbered Johns) would also do, although I doubt you'll get much value out of them if you're not already steeped in Judaism and/or Christianity.

@duck_master yeah I'm not much into Christianity, have v limited exposure to it outside TV/movies. But i do plan to read some major scriptures atleast partly once.

Humble Pi is a pretty good book I think.

@duck_master oooh this looks fun! Thanks for the recommendation!

@duck_master I’ve read it and agree

predictedYES

Update: 2 done. "winning" by Tim Grover

predictedNO

@firstuserhere Any real hope of getting to 4?

@Conflux what I'd like to have answered-> yes! I think so, in the past I've read a book a day several times and could possibly do this!

What the real answer is -> probably not, because as i write this, I'm going on a trek, and will hiking for next 2 days after that with little time to read any book. So, I'll try next month to read more. Sucks that I've been reading lesser than ever before this year. This shows that:

predictedYES

Update: 1 done

@firstuserhere hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
