I read more fiction than nonfiction. As for my total book reading rate for 2021, it remained about the same from the previous year.

In reply to Mary Moore.

People (and by “people,” I mean boomers) often complain that “the younger generations” don’t read. They are so wrong.

“Millennials read more books than any other generation.” That should be a challenge to the rest of us!

In reply to Leonard Nourse.

In spite of what you might hear, Len, quality self-publishing costs money. And getting any published book discovered — no matter what publishing route you take — takes time, effort, and knowledge. It’s work!

I find this most interesting and will have to re-read it. Thank you.
The negative from it is the guilt that I don’t read enough. My eyes are still OK. I don’t know the generation classifications – probably should, to decide who I write for. I do know that in email exchanges, mostly family and friends. That comprises most of my writing. Re a book is made difficult because of two reasons. The first is to find a publisher. Yes, one can self-publish. That does not mean sales.
Yes, experts continually give advice on how to do this, normally at some cost and time. The decision to do this is then an internal debate, of to or not to. I’ll take this as a poor excuse, but pain in movement is real and sitting to write increases it with time. Accepting this need be overcome, a crossroad.
