out this is not necessarily true which is fair but if you find a number that's reasonable based off the avg. level of reading you approach then you can find a bulk annual page number, which lets you say "ok imma read these books per year" this will immediately catapult you into the category which my fellow amerikkkans think makes you unfit to stand trial (just kidding they love trying and executing p

    is this saying anyone can read 30 pages a day? I'm all for getting more people to read more but they have to want to, telling them its easy doesn't achieve that

      Yeah just saying an easier way is to figure out X number of books you want to read by that number.

        yeah ig I'm with you. if I just wanted to read 20 books a year, avg 300 pages, it'd only be 16 pages a day, or, perhaps its important to note, 32 pages every other day. So if you miss a day that's not a big deal, its like 30 mins you can make up somewhere else when you want to read more than just 16 pages.

        Just the original title/post sounded like "absolutely everyone can just spend an hour+ per day reading" (average speed to read a non-technical page is 2 mins)

          I agree, reading an hour can easily be made physically impossible
