my original goal was 52 books this year, but i’m so far ahead i’m switching the goal to 100.

a tip for comprehension and retention: upload a screenshot of everything you’ve read to your favorite ai and ask it to periodically discuss/quiz topics in the books with you.

Do you only listen to audio books?

guess when you are a billionaire you can just afford to kick it and read books 📚. Super cool . I've only had time for 6 chapters of the one book I could buy this year 😸

Don't forget to get together with your friends to keep you from slipping away. It's a slippery slope you know..🥰

🤔 ❓ How does uploading (only) a screenshot to AI provide the capability to discuss it properly then... I don't get it.

What speed do you read at good sir? Most often 1.2x myself, occasionally 1.5x

I’m slightly under yours. Working on eye-brain focus, visual reading and audio binaural to increase nonfiction speed >500wpm. Fiction eases into flow state. Reading hits alpha state, some who dedicated +/- 3 hrs a day reading - Benjamin Franklin, Queen Elizabeth 1, Leonardo Da Vincci, Einstein. Ro...

> a tip for comprehension and retention A really good idea. I actually noticed that sometime my retention is low, and this can definitely spot gray areas. I have to inspect also how time of reading affects this.

Very impressive 🫡

An other good possibility to remember better is, to have some people, whom you can tell the stories of the books. Like this they can profit from a good summary. And I can profit from going through again.

Which AI you use for this?

How do you find and plan what to read next? Reading is one thing, but finding/choosing another. Goodreads/kindle give me pretty terrible recommendations usually.

Oooh, nostr:npub1m3xdppkd0njmrqe2ma8a6ys39zvgp5k8u22mev8xsnqp4nh80srqhqa5sf that would be a fun feature. We should add a ticket for that.

I'm reading a lot, now that I'm proof-reading entire books, for #Alexandria test publications. It's reminded me of how fast I can read. Feels like a party-trick.

You reading all of these with your eyes? Or ears? These days I just do audio books on 1.75 or so. The ability to understand what’s being said doesn’t change but the rate of learning sure does
Philipp · 43w
You clearly read a lot nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwd4hhxarj9ec82csafn79u How does one become a more frequent reader, and how does one become a better reader (ie comprehend more)?

I am on my 36th book. 50 is easy in an year

Can I have your recommendation? Which book is your favourite?

I’ve been doing this as well. I call it my book club and for some reason it causes my partner a bit of jealousy between me and ChatGPT. 🙃 It does really help to dive into different topics and relate them to your life. *I ask ChatGPT to take the role of both the author and book club facilitator.
miljan · 43w
Nice. Do you typically read or listen?
Linh · 43w
Wonderful!
nout · 43w
My goal was at least 10 books this year, but with a baby it's quite tricky and there's usually not that much attention/willpower capacity left.
Max · 43w
Do you have a set time you read before checking screens? I'm experimenting with leaving the house with only a book (no phone) and finding that I'm reading much more that way
MrTheStuhl · 43w
If I may suggest a book (although published a couple of years ago), which really moved me a lot and opened up new perspectives on history: The Last Kings of Shanghai.
My Friend Jimi · 43w
You should also feed Ai the books you have been reading and ask it for new recommendations based off your interests.
Sophia · 43w
Didn’t know ai could do that.

Any tip how to achieve reading1 book a week while also running a business?

which one is your favourite ai?

The Sovereign Individual should be your Top Priority if you have not already read it.

nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m may I suggest to your reading list: The Republic, from Plato, if you haven't read already
