I majorly slacked off during the first half of November, partly because I reached my goal and partly due to many distractions. Not surprisingly, my pace abruptly slowed almost to a halt. I reached my goal of 300 books in early November. I set the goal to read 300 books by the end of the year in order to guarantee that I would be able to read through all of the Hardy Boys books by August. I then set a goal to read 300 books by the end of the year, and by the end of April, I had increased my pace to be on track to read slightly more than 300 books by the end of the year. If I were to continue reading books at the pace I had set to date, I would be able to read 282 books by the end of the year. As I just mentioned, I knew that I had to stay focused in order to get through around 150 additional Hardy Boys books. Actually, I knew that I could, but I knew that I couldn't allow myself to read much else, if anything, and that I had to stay strong and focused on just the Hardy Boys books.īy April, I was up to around #85 in the Hardy Boys Digest series.
This was a rather large commitment, and I did have doubt as to whether I could force myself to read all of them consecutively and in a timely fashion. In the first few weeks of the year, I made the decision to read all of the Hardy Boys Digest, Undercover Brothers, and Adventures books. I began 2016 reading the later titles in the original Hardy Boys series. Now that I have explained, let's get to the point of the post. I can't do what Sarah describes, but I do sometimes read individual paragraphs diagonally. The words and phrases appear diagonally, like I'm absorbing the text all in one gulp, and then I move on to the next sequence I can absorb by paragraph or page." "What also seems to happen is that I read a page not necessarily word by word, but by capturing pages in sequence in my head.
In " How to read 462 books in one year," Sarah Weinman explains her reading technique.
This means that I can read more children's books than I could adult books. Most of them do have at least 150 pages, but they are nowhere near as long as the average book for adults. I don't need to read the obligatory explanation of how Frank is older than Joe, their father Fenton is a detective, and so on in every Hardy Boys book. There's nothing surprising about watching lots of movies, and there shouldn't be anything surprising about spending that same time reading lots of books. Think about how much time you have spent watching movies, and there you go. In fact, I believe that I watched not even one movie in 2016, which may be the first time that has ever happened. That should be enough explanation, but here's some more. As I updated my reading progress this year, a few people had trouble grasping how I read so many books.
