Wow, a book a day! What’s your favorite book?

I think the most I’ve read is 136, but I think I average closer to 80.

I’m super excited for the discussion of And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, and I’ve been wanting to read Who Censored Roger Rabbit by Gary Wolf for awhile!

Thank you so much for doing what it takes to control bots. Much appreciated!

Stop eating anything with high fructose corn syrup. I promise it works.

Same, 8 years for me.

Is this the combined bill for mastodonworld and lemmyworld?

I think what people who are commenting here aren’t getting is that they’re only doing it to a percent of accounts and not ALL accounts.

Wait, what. You are blowing my mind right now.

Joke’s on them. I set one of my communities to NSFW and then unmodded myself.

I haven’t read that particular book, but I love Frannie Flagg.

Yeah we do.

Yeah, it took me awhile to train my brain to focus on them. I have to do something that requires almost no thought to basically keep my hands busy without distracting me from focusing on the book.

If you have a library card you can probably use hoopla and/or libby.

Yes! That’s awesome. Come join us in [email protected] to discuss books!

Yeah, and I moderate a few communities. If an instance disappears so do my communities.

This is so helpful! Thank you!

I’m 1000% pro-audiobooks. I listen to them when I wash dishes, drive, or play certain video games.

I think that’s an excellent tip. That’s how I got back into reading. Instead of trying to set aside an hour or two for reading I just started carrying a book around so I could read 10 pages here or there when I would have otherwise been looking at my phone or staring into space. It’s a really easy way to read more without taking time away from other things. I get reading in when I’m standing in line or in a waiting room or waiting to meet up with a friend.

My number one tip is don’t be afraid to DNF. (DNF stands for Did Not Finish.) I used to be someone who wanted to finish every book I started and I always held out hope a book would get better, but I read so much more if I just give up on books I’m not enjoying. Now that I DNF things more quickly it keeps me from getting into reading slumps.
