Wait..... how do you read 8 books in a week? How much reading time is there in a day?

4+ hours each day if you more or less quit social media and get very little sleep. Then again I was stress reading which meant, audio books while running/jogging, reading in kitchen, in bathroom, in parking lots, in the middle of the night etc. not the best way to read i promise.

I have never stress read. So i dont know how it feels like. I cant do audio books. I prefer podcasts/interviews in audio more.

But i follow your newsletter because you do write about some of the books which are way too dry for me to read ( i wont finish them). Kudos to you for able to finish them.

I dont think I'd have been able to read half of these genres a year ago. I was a strictly high fantasy/scifi reader. However this year (excluding September) has been different for me. The pandemic had triggered a change of mind/perception/insight that enables me to consume some rather dry literature. Its hard to explain but I am grateful for it.
