I hit 50+ two years ago but have trended near 45 for the past few years. My basic strategy is to replace the time I spend watching tv or doom scrolling (Twitter, HN, etc.) with reading a book instead. And diversify sufficiently in book style to make this sustainable (i.e. interesting). But I can't give up watching tv or doom scrolling completely, so that's some "efficiency" lost.

There are people who read significantly more than 50 books a year and that's nuts to me. Even hitting 60 would require a lot more effort and slight discomfort than I'm willing to go for.

That said, it's incredible that I've already got a to-read list longer than I could possibly read in my life.
