me too but its a shame i have such a leaky memory, it sounds so cool probably could impress a lot of women if i only could rember 5 percent of what i read.
I once knew an elderly man that was working security. That dude knew a lot about history. He could touch on all subjects and was very articulate. Was very impressive.
Wow, thank you for saying that. I mean the intro flew over "when he retired he stopped drinking and started reading." Um, there's a novel right there. He says, he doesn't like love stories and science fiction. Next interviewer question, "Have you read Harry Potter?" He says, "No." Next question, "What about Twilight?"
It is not about how many books you read .its about the level of your consciousness and wisdom.i read a lot in the past but i decided to read less and focus more on the reality and contemplate what is going on around me.
My dad is 76 years old he is like me know before he gave up reading he bought or had 2 bin bags worth of books physical format that like me I am 4q year old and I have 288 books and my dad can read a book in couple of weeks and I can read books once a week and my mum can read 50 pages a day for me some big chapters books take me a month to read my dads dad never put a book down and so I think that’s how you read alo more you read the more you progress right now I’m on 48-50 books a year.
Reading James Patterson is really an awesome experience as a matter of fact. Try to read, "Suzanne's diary for Nicholas" it's quiet good. Though as against to what he said, it's a love story.
I have a feeling that this the kind of people our books over here comes from... I only buy preloved books cause they're re very cheap and most are still in very good condition. They sell 1 here in my country for basically 1 dollar and I like reading the heartfelt notes and annotations in them but I'm pretty positive they came from homes like this, from on old people like this dude... nevertheless I'm sorta grateful that at least I can have them for cheap and they dont get to just be dumped. Most of them are also not in publication anymore so lots of vintage books.
Questions and observations. If he's a speed reader, then 5000 isn't an impressive number. Also, if you are a speed reader, what happens if you read something really funny, do they laugh late sor as to not interrupt the flow?
I don’t think he reads particularly quickly, it’s more that he has devoted all his time to reading. If you were to spend 8 hours reading every day you would _easily_ complete at least 200 books in a year. Also, the books you like are easier to read. I.e. as a child I’d read a book by R.L. Stine or _Catcher in the Rye_ in just a single day, sometimes I still manage to read an entire book by Jo Nesbo in a day. On the other hand, it took me more than a week of intense reading to finish _Turn of the Screw_ and it felt like that book just goes on forever.
Such dumb questions as always, i'd love to ask this man if he ever read The Great Books of the Western World collection, and if not, invite him to. He'd love it for sure.
I hate trendy books meaning all "book readers" somewhat have to buy certain books that are trending to feel like they belong like for example Harry Porter books, GOT, Twilight and other epic fantasy books. Don't get me wrong I actually enjoy such kind of books but a lot of people buy it because their youtuber told them to or their friends told them
He read too many books and the conclusion he made was no love books. So stop daydreaming ladies by going through love and romance hoping to have such a thing in men.
Yessir, and I would strongly advise you to take a speed reading course/program Nah.. Not just one, but plenty and read at least 30 books about speed reading.. Seriously
I tryed speed reading and I still can’t figure how to remember what I read, or maybe it’s because I’m partially sighted or maybe it’s because I have a light learning disability and yet I don’t know why o can’t if I can listen to an audiobook on TH-cam at 2x speed and understand it and hear it at normal Kate, my eyes get lethargic after reading 2 pages and after a while I get drowsy iv had that my whole life and that’s why I can’t get throught books quicker because iv allways have to lest them.
@@paulinetaylor1682 Nah, that's impossible Let's see, there might be some mistakes you're probably doing: 1. You aren't doing the technique(s) right 2. You are TOO focused on the technique. It means you're constantly checking if you're doing it right instead of actually understanding the reading 3. You are struggling TOO MUCH in understanding. In other words, you are too focused on checking if you're focused (yup) 4. You aren't using proper reading material to practice 5. You aren't either warming-up or doing drills Tips: 1. There are LOTS of techniques, that's why reading books about speed reading is gonna change you way of reading drastically 👌 2. You need to understand that if you put more focus on the technique, you lose comprehension, so just let it be an unconscious process + yiu'll handle this with 'drills' 3. Again, just let the words get to your mind, don't force your comprehension 4. You can't speed read cookbooks, recepies, philosophy books and that kind of material, that's just not good, why would you even speed rrad those? You need to analyze very carefully You might not want to speed reading fiction books, it's optional, you WILL understand but you will sacrfice emotions shared from the book, from the author. However, speed reading isn't only about reading fast, but also comprehending faster, formulating/processing faster, imagining faster, etc. 5. As we warm up before exercising, working out, same works with the muscules from the faces, from the eyes, ALSO, there are excellent 'drills' A very good book to start is "Robot speed reading", it's excellent 👍 If you have any more doubts, just lemme know
@@joses.4078 I forgot to say I was allways taught by my reader of a dad to read word from word front to back go at my own pace and take it in to fully digest a book, I feel like my reading pace is to slow and I need to lead faster eka speed read because I’m buying books faster than I can read them, I just love reading, and now I have 293 unread books and I’m like buying 4 or 5 books a week I haven’t got because I know there there and I love reading.
Bet a lot of what he's read is utter garbage or generic, and the things he has read he's quickly forgot. I'm more impressed he'd go through reading this much without cultivating a sense of selectivity; 10 quality books over a thousand generic ones any day.
He reads for entertainment and knowledge of history. I keep forgetting a lot of you folks today grew up with technology, so you really don’t what it is to use your imagination.
@@evanwalker3782 Yes, I'll let him read his 74 thriller books in peace np and *two* books a day, but don't tell me there's no imagination in play when reading difficult literature: the Homeric epics, Zhuangzi, Spinoza, and Kant for example. Btw, I'd love to see him read two books of such a caliber having retained a basic grasp the very same day. Surely, there's a difference here, and that's what I meant by cultivating a sense of selectivity.
Who cares what he reads if it makes him happy that’s awesome I read whatever I was and I don’t care if people think what I read sucks I read what makes me happy
I wonder if he watches tv? Maybe he doesn’t watch tv I prefer books to tv and read 48-50 books so far a year since I came out of my reading slump in 2020.
Ok, well it can be very achievable, considering you have 8 hours of free time , which most humans do have in a day, he uses to read, and not to brag here but I could probably read 2 books in that time, and i barely read, therefore it's very achievable for him, however how much if what he reads is another question, if he reads every one of them books and he takes notes to remember the valuable information, then he may struggle heavily, but it's definitely more than possible.
If only he wasn't wasting his time reading garbage like Patterson... It's not very impressive when you aren't reading anything with any weight. It's just words on a page and contrived plots.

I don't like love stories either.
They're too mushy?
Reading James Patterson is really an awesome experience as a matter of fact. Try to read, "Suzanne's diary for Nicholas" it's quiet good. Though as against to what he said, it's a love story.
You should try one of John Steinbeck’s novels about the Hamilton family living in the rural sides of Salinas Valley.
If he begins to read really classical and important books, the number will decrease.
