Do you like reading? Have you not yet found a way to feel bad about reading, especially reading lots? Don't worry, the CBC has you covered!
As another new year begins, the options for joining challenges that promote reading seem endless, and they have become a popular way to encourage people to consume more books. Nearly eight million people around the world participated in the 2023 Goodreads challenge, for instance, and they had an average pledge of 43 books per person.
[...]
But as many readers flock to these challenges, sharing their stats on social media, others find them off-putting and anxiety-inducing.
"I love to read, but multiple disabilities make reading challenges pretty inaccessible due to the expectation of reading a plethora of books in a set amount of time," said Caley Krantz.
Krantz, 38, who lives in Vernon, B.C., struggles with skipping over words and processing text and audio.
"It's frustrating watching everyone posting and engaging in these challenges when it's not an option to participate," they told CBC News.
Now whenever you read you can let the feelings of white guilt wash over you, knowing that someone, somewhere can't read and feels bad about it.

I think its hilarious when people try to say that an oral tradition is good or even better then a written one. Its objectively worse in literally every way.

90% of what they read is fanfiction, that's the only reason these challenges are even possible. Each month has like three books that fit the category.
