How many books have you read through this year? At which pace will we make it to transcending wisdom?

I'm at 35 full novels right now, hoping to better myself for next year.

I was just counting and I estimate to have read a maximum of 10 books, not counting reading material for my uni studies. This doesn't sound like many, especially since most of them are quite short, but it is actually a pretty good number for me as I am a beginner. I'm happy with it but hoping to read even more next year.

Do you feel that you fully experienced all 35 books, OP? Whatever that question means.

OP here.

I'm a slow reader normally but I was able to make some time for reading because I was preparing for unversity this year. Thomas Manns The Magic Mountain took me like 2 months though. The rest of the books were in the 150-500 pages rank. I don't feel like it was that much idk.

33 books that i own a physical copy, the ones that i read online or in the library are a bit tricky to know, but i think i've read 4 books in the library and ~13 ebooks.

So, i have probably read ~50 books in total; 2 of them having more than 1000 pages, 7 having more 600, and most of them having around 300 pages.

I also have read more than 10 light novels, and completed 3 vns.

I am extremely slow reader, i usually read 15~30 pages a hour, and i also like to make annotations and write shit when i am reading.

This is year i was luck because i had no college, next year i will be in college and working (and i work 9 to 10 hours a day), so will probably won't have much time to read, i am planning just to complete the full Plato, Aristotle and the Bible.
