Exactly, if any of us actually see it through it’ll be remarkable, but it’ll be fun to see who the last person standing is.

On a serious note, i have to read books within about two weeks of starting them or i lose interest and start something else. Terrible habit but f reading a book over 10 months or whatever.

You can read it normally but you won’t be welcome here.

reading ~11 pages a day for a year of a single book sounds literally impossible

No, because I’d end up becoming one of those arseholes that tells people he’s read War and Peace, and I try to avoid becoming that person at all costs.

Heard a bloke on the radio the other week who’d tried listening to the W&P audiobook, found it very confusing and then resorted to reading the book. At that point he realised he’d been listening to the audiobook on shuffle.

That’s not gonna happen. I’d end up buying a physical copy after finishing it on kindle, and leaving it on my living room floor when people come round.

“Oh sorry, this place is such a mess, I’ll just move this- oh, it’s really heavy. Still, I guess you don’t get light copies of War and Peace, eh? Haha! Yes, I recently read Tolstoy’s War and Peace, that’s right. TOLSTOY.”

think it would be annoying reading 11 pages and then starting another book and then going back and reading another 11 pages

but if you didn’t do that you’d have only read one book the entire year

hmm

I usually have three books on the go at any one time anyway so no skin off my nose (I’m very well read and intelligent, see)
