I think you need to reword the question? 🤔

If you are a regular reader I would presume it would be about 35-60 in a year (3-5 books a month).

Strangely no, I do struggled watching movies as a trade off.

Reading a book: fine

Listening to music/audiobook: fine

Movies: Nope

I don’t like the character born good trope, which usually comes with battling someone I could have been trope. The reason this doesn’t work most of the time is because the “good guy” is usually just too dense to figure things out, alongside having a lot of convenient things happen in there life that takes away there ability to choose in the first place.

1. Don’t waste your time

2. It’s bad, but it gets the job done

3. Mediocrity

4. Good, but has issues

5. Worth as read

In a way 3 is the worst.

It’s not the quality of the books that the problem, you’re just wanting calmer introspective fiction dealing with the next stage in life that you’re heading into (I have been though these feelings).

You can comfortably read a book in 2-3 days, but from the sounds of it they could be skimming them.
