Are you a book lover? How many books have you read in 2026 so far?

Becoming one. So far this year, I have read...

• The entire Bible (started January 1st, finished the day before Easter, preparing to start reading again this Friday)
• Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
• Christopher Columbus: The Hero
• The Count of Monte Cristo
• A book explaining the Traditional Latin Mass

And I'm currently getting towards the end of a book called Christ, the Life of the Soul. At night before I go to bed, I read a chapter of St. Francis de Sales' Introduction to the Devout Life.

Next, I'm going to read Hamlet. After that though? Good grief, I don't know. I have so many books to read, it's insane. I could buy a book today and will consider myself a cultured scholar if I even look at the cover again within five years. I guess that next, I might read this book about Constantine thats been on my bookshelf for years, or possibly Dune.

I am reading two right now.

That's really great

I think around 10 but I've been slacking since February because I got a new job and my brain is too tired to gather more information. I did binge read most of those in January and in February I read maybe a couple.

I also read books mostly when I was doing my previous job, this job is so hectic and have so much pressure that I don't have enough time. 😑😢

Even if you do have time sometimes books can be overwhelming because you still have to read and process what you're reading.

[ZameerAnsari91]

Yes you're right.

[ManOnFire]

@performerwannabe That's the kind of reading speed I wish I had lol

I’m definitely a book lover 📚 I mix physical books with audiobooks, especially when I’m painting or traveling to festivals. So far in 2026, I’ve finished 9 books: a mix of literary fiction, a couple of art and film theory books, one K-drama related essay collection, and some dark crime novels to balance it all out 😄
