From reading 100 books a year to reading purely by mood, readers approach books in wildly different ways. We’ll talk about reading goals, book counts, audiobooks, speed, depth, habit-building, and why what works for one reader may not work for another — and that’s perfectly fine.

Structured with goals, or completely spontaneous? Let me know in the comments.
