    I think ten isn’t that hard depending on word count, your average novel being around 300-400 pages.

    For instance I read the black company series and a few other novels in under a month but then I slow down on more dense books or books that can be more a challenge for my dyslexia. Energy levels and setting time aside to read factors in too

      Its not “hard” but I wouldnt enjoy reading 10 average page count (even if good) books in a month. I think at least I wouldnt enjoy it.

      Like at most I usually read 2 books a month cause I take breaks between reading. If I really wanted I could do 4 ( 1 per week)

      10 would be totally possible but not “fun” I imagine.

      At least for me. Im sure there are people who read 10 or more books a month but Im not such an avid reader.

        I find it fun to read a good book or get into a series. That’s not to say it can’t be a slog getting through a book you don’t enjoy for whatever reason.

        Really depends on how much enjoyment you get out of the things you read. I vary my reading between various genres and fiction/non fiction. Some theory or history can vary in density which can be good to mix up with some fun stuff as a palate cleanser. I can go through periods of not reading for playing the odd game. It can vary.

          Lemme phrase it this way. I could probably do it if it’s a series I REALLY enjoy, but my enjoyment level usually goes up and down with books. So, say, after book 4, I’d probably take a two-week break or something (I assume, at least).

          OK then, since you’re a nerd and read a lot (unlike me, who is a dumb brute :^)

          Gimme some books that kept you going ? That you thought were really enthralling.
