It's been ages. Books, like movies, are the author's opinion and a figment of his imagination.

I don't read or listen to contrary opinions.

Keep your opinion to yourself. Don't share it with me.

I only read the Bible.

There's different types of books covering Differnt topics.
Science books (engineering, physics, chemistry) are typically written by people who have done certain experiments and and are giving you their results
Some will do ABCD, others will do CDEF. So they resemble, but are not totally the same.
The Bible you are reading mostly likely has 66 books. The Catholic bible has 73 books.
So even the bible you are reading is not even complete.

none like zero
out there chassing the mula

So people still read books in this economy.
Naira land is my book.

This year i read NO SINGLE BOOK.
In the new year, i plan to read KJV 1611 version.

U can lend it to me for one month @50k. Thanks

Less than 48 hours before the end of 2024... How many books have you read this year? Or has it been all about social media, endless hustling, or maybe you just don’t enjoy reading?

I have read Song of The Silent Harp, Zarah The Wind Seeker, Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again and lots more

What’s the purpose of reading different books that may not even have any significance?

The question is what improvements and personal developments have you made

I personally read many books this year and I reap the benefits

I have lost count, but let me mention the most recent ones:
1. The Complete Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyczyn.

2. The Wealthy Barber Returns by David Chilton.

3. The Magic of Thinking Big.

4. The Billionaire Next Door.

5. Secret of The Millionaires Mind.

6. Compensation by Ralph Emerson.

Kaiser20:
In other countries, people read books for knowledge, Personal development, transformation, and bringing a solution to Problems.
Nigerians read books Just for fun

Shut the hell up, people all over the world read for fun and there's nothing wrong with that. After all the noise you make I bet you don't know anything of substance

So many dullards in this country. You turn your noses up at people reading for fun, meanwhile you waste many hours watching TV and many more hours scrolling through the dumbest content on social media.

And then there are the ignoramuses making noise about self development and hustling yet their lives are no better than the people they are trying to feel superior to.

I didn't read up to 10 books this year. I hope to do better next year.

I'm always amused whenever people despise fiction readers.

Anyone who thinks there is nothing to learn from fiction is obviously not bright.

ReacherSaidNoth:

Certainly, I agree wholeheartedly.

I made a bit of a bad joke, though, spoken with some touch of honesty. Some non-religious books are actually very helpful.

But contrary to what you think, the bible is actually very, very complete whether you choose the 66 or 73 or the Ethiopian Orthodox 85+ books.

Someone once said and I agree in totality that if the Israelite had not sinned, there wouldn't have been a need for God to give any other book besides the book of Joshua that chronicles how the land was conquered.

Zero

ReacherSaidNoth:
This is a dumb opinion inspired by hardship. Anyone can read for leisure, whether they be a billionaire or a homeless person.

You cannot gatekeep people's reasons for reading or what they gain from it. Implying that reading books should automatically improve one's standard of living, while ignoring the real determinants of wealth like environment, family and economy, is the sort of thing someone like you who doesn't read would think

Oh please, allow the lady breath.

Take it from an avid reader, it's impossible, I say again impossible to be a reader and your life not improving. It simply means the person is not wise or has circumstances beyond the physical impeding growth.

The proof of wisdom is sound judgement, that come from knowledge and experience. How can someone who enjoys reading, who buys knowledge and experience from the books they read not have an improved living?

Oh please spare me any excuse. Even if what they read is novels.

Nigerians read books for reading’s sake. They don’t do it to better their lives. It reminds me of an entry I saw here once; people who dwelled in a slum. In that slum resided a book merchant. He had consumed over 300 books and counting. The knowledge he got from them was endless quotes from great men. He still lived in his one-bedroom tent with a pit toilet located metres away.

Akhaz024:


As a physicist,
Thermodynamics and kinetic theory (zemansky)
Classical Mechanics (Goldstein)
Electromagnetism (sadiku)
Mathematical physics (Hildebrand)

I love mechanics, a lot.

Owo lé mi o ma k'a mi o ni kà we mọ, owo lé mi o ma k'a..

Anndju:
Waoh I love book worms I will beat that number 2025 is that a challenges?

Let's go together

How can we connect

kushercain:
I read a couple
The 8th habit
Atomic habits
Conversations on faith
Understanding the power and purpose of Men by Miles Monroe
Success Systems by David Oyedepo
Seeing what is sacred
Etc
And a few fictional works and autobiographies. I prefer hard copies to Ebooks. There's something about hard copies that just makes the reading experience sweeter

This is beautiful 😍

I read 60 books this year.My goal is to do over 100 next year.

Yeah mechanics is interesting and challenging also (lagrangian, Hamiltonian, etc) one just need to have a strong mathematical background.
