The past few months as the year winds down I’ve been focusing on books outside my comfort zone and books to inflate page and word count - and the end result is that I just hate reading these books.
I’m not reading these books for myself, I’m not even necessarily reading for a theoretical someone else, I’m reading these books for the sake of ego.
That, as far as I’m concerned, is a perversion of what reading should be. It’s something you do for yourself not someone else.
And after reading over 600 titles this year already it’s gone on enough, so, I consider myself free to quit. Any titles I’ve lost interest in are going to library donation.

Thanks for the blogpost. Really shows that you're no longer interested in literature for your ego's sake.

bumping this because i hate you people; if he is a NEET and reads all day with high verbal its entirely plausible and possible that he did read 600 titles especially easy <200 page paperback trash. Think about the kind of person that gets roped into GoodReads dick measuring contests and then makes a trash thread on a dead website on an even more necrotic board and then reevaluate your intelligence, brainlet.

Maybe you're just an idiot. Nothing and nobody beside yourself did force you to read all those books.
