Hey everybody. It's Against Everyone with Connor Abeeb. This is an against Saturdays episode. I do an occasional episode on Saturdays where I will talk about an idea that's in development or something that's really interesting to me or that I want to share with you all. This week, I'm going to be talking about how to read a book a day and why you would want to do something like that and how to pull it off.

What are some good tips for it?

And so just let me back that up and say please do support the show via Patreon.

Patreon.com forward slash Connor and Beeb. Your contribution is what

keeps the show going. So if you do the tips that I'm going to give today, I'm reading a book a day,

And, you know, just sort of being really enlivened by this idea, oh my gosh, because I had always

wanted to read tons and tons of books that were just, I knew I would die before I read

all the books that I wanted to read.

I used to go into the library of my school at, well, the first university I went to, which was

Like I would just sort of walk down and would just take one off the shelf and read it with the

aim of eventually randomly reading all the books in that library, even though I knew that
