Awesome list, thank you for sharing! Curious, though - how do you structure your weeks so that you can consume 50 books a year? That would take me a while!

For me, it's with a Kindle. I bring mine everywhere as it's so small (Kindle Basic) I can put in the back pocket of my pants. Whenever I have to wait for something, or I'm taking a break, I just open it and the book is where I left it. 5, 10, or 50 pages, they all add up. Most books are around 600-1000 pages on it.

I can finish a book this way in about 3-4 days. But my reading quota has lowered this year as I was reading wuxia (chinese) books where each is about 27k to 30k Kindle pages.

I read in fits and spurts. I read a bit after work, sometimes at lunch, and definitely before bed each night. Weekend, if I'm not otherwise busy, I'll read for a couple hours as well.

Even in fits and spurts it adds up quickly!
