I'm pretty impressed by his progress and curious to see how far it goes. Resolves to 5 + the number of options in his market that resolve YES or NO at the start of 2025. I'm counting Three Body Problem as one "book" to align with him. If he somehow reads more than 52 I'll resolve to 52.

Another reason to count Three Body Problem as one book is that I only completely finished the first one. I abandoned the second one at 43% through.

@ChrisPrichard I toyed with the idea of submitting something like Ulysses or the Bible or The Teaching Guide to Economics (3,969 pages apparently) and periodically bidding it up to attract participants, but realised you could just read two pages and resolve NO. (which would still count as "read" here)

@fwbt Not to mention that I don't actually want to ruin your year.

@fwbt Ha! I mean, the more it seemed like a "real" recommendation, the more I'd try to give it a meaningful shot, but you're right that if the market tried to troll me I wouldn't feel too guilty about only reading a few pages!
