there’s definitely a group of book readers that do it to tell their friends how many books they read each year, i guess there are forms of signaling in all hobbies.

i bet one would learn more by intentionally reading as slowly as possible than by trying to race through books just to check them off a list.

i kind of wonder how extreme you could go with this approach… if you were only allowed to read one page per day, how much more information would you absorb?
