Avid readers, how do you read it all?

We have averaged 40+ books a year since 2019. We read before bed and at times during the day. I usually read books that are between 300-400 pages. We find books that interest us ~ mystery, thrillers, some historical fiction. If the book doesn't suck me in within the first 50 pages or so, I give myself permission to move one. I used to subscribe to several magazines but let everything go except Consumer Reports. We read the newspaper when we eat breakfast. It's gotten so pitiful it's about the size of the Weekly Reader when I was in grade school.

I have to do audiobooks. If I read paper/kindle, I always fall asleep. So I listen when I'm driving alone, working around the house/yard, etc. I get through a lot this way. Sometimes I get so into the book, it motivates me to keep cleaning house or whatever just so I can keep listening. I also listen at 2X speed.

I used to be an avid reader but lately not so much. I don’t set goals. I read when I feel like it, often to relax before going to sleep. If the book sucks me in I might get through it really quickly, but it really depends.

Getting a Kindle Paperwhite made a huge difference in the amount of reading I do now. There is no web browser or other apps distracting me. Also so easy to get books from the library. I've read about 30 books this year. Before I might have read 1 or 2 only when I was on vacation.

I also like that it is not backlit so I can read in bed and not be stimulated by the light. And if I wake up in the middle of the night I can read with out bothering dh too much.

I read quickly so just reading a book doesn't take me as long as it does for others.

I read a print newspaper which is only a shadow of what it once was.

I give a book 50-100 pages and if it is not holding my attention, then I move on.

I try to alternate between serious writing and fun, so that I can read both.

I think it depends on what you read. I don't read articles/magazines and I very rarely read non fiction. I know I can read a 3-400 page book in about 7 hours so theoretically if I read an hour every night before bed I could finish a book a week.

I have to block out time otherwise I'd never get to it. Whether that's "ok for this half hour I'm reading" or "2 chapters and I'm done". I wish I was an auditory learner cos I'd love to listen to audiobooks but I know I'd miss too much as my mind wanders.

I am not the type of person that makes a reading goal. I enjoy reading, it's something I do to relax so making a goal and forcing myself to read quickly or read more turns it into just another task for me. I read before bed every night and usually for part of my lunch hour. Typically I read about 1-2 books per week.

I listen to audiobooks, which allows me time to multi-task. Clean, cook, etc. I read on my kindle before I go to sleep and right after I wake up. I am almost at 50 books so far this year.

I don't read actual newspapers or magazines. I read the daily and weekly news briefs and breaking news, which I receive by email. I scan the emails and read what I want to and scroll past the rest. 
I view my email throughout the day on my desktop computer or phone, so I usually don't have a lot to catch up on.

I usually read for an hour or two (or more) before bed. I read ebooks via the Library website and on occasion an actual Library book.

I always have an ongoing "to be read" and "for later" book list. Some are books I want to read, other are suggestions and recommendations from various sources. When I've read the books I "want" to read, then I choose from the "suggested and recommended list". 
I am always adding to my list. I will never be caught up and that is very okay.

I do most of my reading in the summer on our boat. In the winter, I spend more time on the computer.

If you want to be a reader, then you need to prioritize reading over other leisure activities.
For the last few years I have read 90-120 books a year.

I no longer read newspapers or magazines.
I have a few favoured news sites online that I read periodically during the day so that I know what's going on in the world. Sometimes I look at celebrity gossip as well, but I haven't bought or read a magazine in years.
I also spend minimal time on other social media. I don't post my own content on any of them, but do follow some hobby/interest groups.
All those things combined usually don't take more than an hour a day.

One of the reasons I wasn't "reading" was because I had vision correction surgery in my 20s and as I've aged the vision in each eye is quite different, I now need to wear glasses to read, but they give me double vision & headaches after a short time. Then I made the switch to audiobooks and everything changed.
Audio isn't for everyone and it is a learned skill, you have to learn to actively listen, the book can't be in the background, it needs to be the focus of your attention. I also get motion sickness so I could never read while travelling, but now I can listen to audiobooks whole going to and from work & social events and while walking and also for some (not all) boring chores. That has increased my available reading time.

There are so many ways we can entertain ourselves at home home, endless streaming & TV shows, games, internet etc. If you want to be a person who reads then you have to actively choose to read instead of doing all those other things.

I also make reading a part of my life, I ask people what they are reading, I comment on books when I see people reading, I talk about books, I go to Goodreads and keep lists of books I want to read, I keep a record of what I have read, I set goals...all of that keeps me in the mindset of thinking about books and makes it easy to want to keep reading.

Saying all of that...if you don't want to or can't read more: then don't. It's just another hobby, people who read aren't better people than those who don't.

I think I am one of those odd people who read around three hundred fifty plus book a year! The more you read the faster you you become at reading and the better your comprehension becomes so you don’t waste effort or any rereading!

I read about 50-80 books per year and I find that if I try to make a goal to read 20 min per day I get into the routine of reading and read more. I do listen to audiobooks which help and always bring my kindle with me. Also helps to read books that you want to read, don’t waste time on what you don’t want to read, to having trouble finishing. It’s okay to DNF a book.

Most of my books are audio. But I always have a book on my kindle. My son plays soccer and it’s too far to drop off and leave so I always bring my book to get some reading done. I think the secret is always being aware of down time to squeeze in a few pages.
