Blood Meridian, House of Leaves, Ada or Ardor, Earthsea, King in Yellow, Witcher: Claws and Fangs, Ferdydurke.
Half of them were amazing books I want to reread, the other half were worthless slop I don't want to interact with ever again. I'm not going to tell which were which

Any non-zero amount of books is a good amount of books, so good job, anon. It's constructive to feel this way, and it lets you look ahead to the next year with a goal in mind. If you did seven, aim for eight - any more will be a bonus.

>>24949475
Some hefty ones in here, that easily could have been 2+ smaller books (especially Earthsea, if you mean the collected edition?). Don't let it get you down.

I read these too. You don't count them as 6 separate books? Inflate those numbers, baby.

it's not a job, you are not supposed to make up lists and schedules and force yourself to do someting
you should only read whatever you like at the moment when you feel like reading something
I think reading more than 5 books puts you easily in the top half of the readers in your country

Keep going bro, make it about enjoying the books, not ticking boxes. I had a reading list this year that I'm on target to finish, but I don't give a fuck how many were on it, and I felt free to drop one book that was shit.

I read 97 books this year. But I also abandoned twice that many after a few pages. If a book doesn't grab you by the end of Chapter 1 it makes no sense to keep reading. It's not like the author kept the best for the last few pages.
