I saw an article about the influencer who read 200 books last year. Many people want viral post, and talking about reading books became a popular way to gain followers in social media. While authors post links in hope to sell their books and get reviews, scammers are using ways to get noticed by huge engagement.
If we think realistic, it is impossible to read a huge amount of books in a short time. To read you must have a good eyesight and plenty of free hours.
Most of the people don't have this luxury. We have 40 hours working week, housework, and all this make us tired. If you can't sleep enough you will not have will to read.
For reading books, you must be focused. When you have notifications in social media, that steals your focus. To be honest, I read 15 books last year. The rest of my To Be Read list I will finish this year. We are not robots, we can't stare at our phones 24 hours a day.
If you need to choose between walking in nature or reading, you will choose fresh air.
The important thing is a content of books you read. Some books are easy read, you can fly over pages. Others are hard to understand, slow, with a lot of descriptions and you need time to understand the point.
Reading few books in the same time is not a good option. You will mix the idea of book and lost your focus.
Cheating people that you read many books in the intention to get many followers is a lame attempt to get noticed.
