I always hope to read at least 52 books per year. It’s a good thought, but it’s just a thought. You can’t hope your way into anything; you have to take action. If you want to read 52 books, then you have to make a point of reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today I asked myself, “How many books could I finish per year if I were to read for an hour each day?” Given that I read about a page per minute and assuming that the books I’d choose would be in the 350-page range, then I’d be able to read at least 62 books per year (60 pages times 365 days divided by 350 is roughly 62.6). And if I lived another 27 years (my theoretical life expectancy), then I could read another 1,674 books total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people would say that 1,674 books is a lot. I’m not sure it is (I’ve already read so many that I feel like I ought to be able to read several thousand more). But, it seems likely that if I don’t start reading for at least an hour a day, I’m going to read a lot fewer than 1,674.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
