This is such a great article. Let’s discuss the annual Goodreads Reading Challenge Anxiety once and for all.

FlipboardFlipboard Culture Desk (@CultureDesk@flipboard.social)Do you track your reading habits? "Like the things we eat or the ways we move our bodies, the books we consume get talked about as yet another avenue for self-improvement," writes Tajja Isen for The Walrus. Here's her story about the problem with reading lists, and a way to make them useful and even lead to more enjoyment. Tell us in the comments what you think — and if you track, why. https://flip.it/AEiSjN #Books #Bookstodon @bookstodon@a.gup.pe #Reading #ReadingLists #Goodreads [ ] I meticulously track all the books I read [ ] I somewhat track my reading [ ] I don't track my reading [ ] Something else — explain in the comments

I read like my dad did in the hospital, with multiple books in progress, dipping in and out of them as I please. If I ever feel I ought to finish a book, it's because I want to have learned what it has to say, not to check it off my list.[5] It's all real reading. Unless you're in some kind of reading contest, though, if you're an adult, I wonder, why? Are the stickers that good?

The overflowing bedside table

When I was a kid, my dad had to go to the hospital for a stomach ulcer. He didn't seem that sick but he was apparently pretty bored because he had to stay there and rest, and so he read a lot. When I came to visit him, I saw that he had a huge pile of books on his hospital bedside table. I asked which book he was reading, and he said he was reading all of them. He explained that he'd read a bit from one, and when he tired of it, he'd switch to another one. That struck me as a bit odd, but also, pretty clever.

I'm particularly amused by all the animus against consuming books as sound, since the very notion of silently reading a text to yourself is very modern. People used to sit around while one person read out loud to them. There is a whole history of moral panics about direct access to the text[4], or of the very notion of written text signifying meaning directly instead of being the signifier of a sound that signifies meaning. It just shows how fake the idea of fake reading is.
