I read a lot of books. Literally nobody cares.
Many of them - perhaps even more than half of them are the sort of light reading that once upon a time would have been dismissed by more serious readers as pulp fiction. Somehow, reading literally anything these days makes me some super intellectual.
Whatever. I just like stories. Some of them are acclaimed as great reads. Some of them have been self published on the Kindle store and I feel like one of the only people who read it. No matter, I like them all!
I like people recording their books on sites like bookwyrm and Goodreads. If we both read and liked Series-A and Series-B, and you read/liked Series-C, which I hadn’t heard of, I’ll give it a try.
The article just feels all weird. I’m not sure why there is such a strong push for/against keeping track of the books you read. It’s just a statistic like any other. Some enjoy it and others don’t, but it feels like each group is trying to convince the other they’re wrong for no real reason.
I personally keep track of books on Goodreads and write reviews for every one. I forget things and writing my thoughts down works for me, and it’s kinda neat to see the books I’ve read that year.
