I read often. Less than a lot of you, but more than the general population. I read a book-book once a month, and a few manga/graphic novels a month.

Though I’ve read a lot, I only have a handful of books that I love enough to recommend, The Road, Story of Your Life, American Psycho and some Isaac Asimov shorts.

I’m really picky and usually don’t walk away from books thinking, “wow that was a great book.”

I was asking myself recently, why do you read so much? You don’t like most of what you consume. I realized I like the completion aspect of reading.

Whatever that “thing” is, makes up for my often disappointed feelings regarding what I read.

I just wanted to share this realization and see if anyone else feels this way.

    why dont you try asking in r/suggestmeabook for book recommendations like the ones you liked so you can actually read books you might enjoy so its not all about completing the books

      Maybe I will try that. I haven’t heard of that sub before.
