I'm not an avid reader at all. I'm surprised by how many books mentioned in here that I have read. Even more surprised that I liked most of them. slowly backs out of thread
Unless they were required reading, even recognizing many of these books makes you an avid reader, imo.
But this is coming from a lifetime aliterate. That said, I've completed 4 books in the last couple years, which is more than the previous 30 years, combined. For the question posed in the OP, I disliked
The Blue Zones, but didn't hate it. Too much anecdote, not enough science.
Maybe the topic for another thread, but how many books are you guys reading per year?
