I used to not count DNF’d books as completed, but recently changed my mind a bit. I feel like if you actively decide not to finish you’ve already completed it in some way. Also allows me to rate and review on goodreads for example. What do you guys do? Do you count them? Is there a certain amount you have to read before you consider a DNF book completed? Or do you not think of them completed at all?

    Not LITERALLY nonsensical. Depends on how you look at it. If I eat half of a pizza at lunch at 3/4 of another at dinner I still count that I ate two meals that day.

    If you ask me what I read in 2023 I’ll tell you about that book I didn’t finish, so it does count in a way, I read it. But yeah in my kindle I don’t mark them as Read.

      I get what you’re saying, but that pizza analogy really makes no sense at all. Like, completely unrelated

      A pizza isn’t a meal. If you ate half of 7 different pizzas in a week, why would you say “I ate 7 pizzas this week”? Makes no sense.
