2051 I'm 25 books in, and I'm really excited about how many I've read this year so far. I started keeping track of my books last year, and I read 35 all year. I'm almost at that amount now! I love the encouragement for reading that is such an integral part of goodreads!

It's interesting that you know so many people who read audio books because they think it will be easier. I know a bunch of people who read audio books, and not one does so for the reason you stated. I personally find audio books to be much harder. You have to give your full attention, which is definitely hard, especially when you don't have the words in front of you. Also, it takes so much more time to read the book in audio book format than it does when reading a physical book. By reading the audio books, your brain is as, if not more, activated than when reading a physical book because the concentration level is much higher when reading an audio book. However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
