I've been trying to read more, and 20 seems like a good starting goal.

How is this coming along?

predicted YES

@jgyou 11 books completed, more than a few in progress. I do still plan to accomplish this, if my bets didn't make it clear.

Could you promise not to read a bunch of very short books at the end?

predicted YES

@na_pewno I don't really want to make any commitments about lengths of books read, as I purely want this market to incentivize me to read more, however my loose definition of book here is like >~75 pages, but if there's a book I want to read that's 70 I'll probably count it.

I will commit to say I won't do audiobooks, and my reading list is not going to be heavily affected by this market.

That's a lot of books. That being said, would you have any interest in writing book reviews together with me on a Substack I just made? Use of ChatGPT to help summarize and condense your thoughts would be allowed / encouraged. I'm trying to do it as a way to reflect on the books I'm reading and stay accountable.

@PatrickDelaney too busy with the things keeping me from reading books

Currently at 5 read this year so far, but lost motivation for a bit due to other hobbies.
