First: I wanna clarify this. I know that loads of people read like 100 books a year, or read all the time. I know these people exist. I’m asking about people that are like… average. An average american who just… reads. Doesn’t track everything or sets goals of like 100, or never stops reading… Anyway, I’ve been searching this up, and i find answers like 15-50, even 100. I find this highly unlikely, especially for average US citizens. Half the people i know don’t even pick up 5 books a year, let alone 15! I just don’t believe these stats. I read somewhere that people read 8 a month on average? That can’t be right for an average person. That’s like 2 books a week… I know people do read this much, but still… For an average person? So be real… how many books do people actually read a year?
I’m an average guy and I read 100+ books for several years. I read audios at work, I work with machines, minimal human interaction and the books help stimulate my brain rather than just playing troubleshooting whack a mole on my press
You’re not an average guy if you get through 100 books in a year… You are VERY well read and that comes with a slew of benefits.
