Most of the time just 1.

When I know I'm going to read a lot I tend to have more than 1 as it helps me stay interested and motivated.

>The issue with Goodreads is that it makes reading an achievement.

Nobody forces you to use that feature.

Goodreads has wonderful recommandations and great book lists. The website is worth it just for that.

That's pretty impressive, I've never read so much in a year. Do you use physical books or e-readers?

Sometimes I just forget who is who and try to remember from contextual clues. It happens much more when reading novels with exotic names, like high fantasy or chinese xianxia.

Which made me develop the habit of taking notes while reading, which lead to me getting so much more out of books.

> Most people who I've dealt with haven't really read the novel. They come in with a preconceived notion, usually associated with that horrible movie

The movie is fantastic

Nothing compulsory. Goodreads just gives you the option to enter a number of books as a goal, and it auto-updates as you enter new books as read. I tried this feature for the first time and I thought it was pretty cool, but I reached my goal in March...

It made me read more than usual, which was fun.

> Unless you happen to be like under 10 years old, it’s not like you’re going to have a book quota or get some prize for each book you read.

You have yearly book goals on Goodreads

I don't, as that would be cheating. And a classification error.
