At the start of every year the internet is rife with people sharing their goal to read 50 books that year. 

Nothing wrong with reading more. An admirable goal for sure.

Thing is – 50 books is not the flex they think it is. In fact, it says more about their privilege than their love of reading.

I feel very strongly about this – so for the first time ever instead of riling up a guest to share their Unpopular Opinion… I’m sharing one of my own.

Ably assisted by the delight that is Ron Tester - he’s in the ‘hold my beer’ role for this one – we debate if setting arbitrary reading goals is helpful or simply performative.

We unpack why this annoys me so much, how people waste time on vanity metrics + how to build a reading habit that works for you. 

Look for more Unpopular Opinions. They’re always fun to listen to.
