A Nigerian lady, Armah, has taken to social media to celebrate her impressive reading achievement, having finished 110 books in 2024. She shared a photo of herself surrounded by stacks of books, captioning it “110 books down this year.”
While some users congratulated Armah on her remarkable feat, others expressed skepticism and doubt. @iam_arinzona questioned the validity of her claim, calculating that reading 110 books in a year would mean finishing a book every three days consistently.
Others shared their own reading goals and achievements, with @Dess_0231 seeking book recommendations for her own reading journey. However, @SumolaIdowu criticized Armah’s reading choices, noting the lack of books on economics, physics, and other practical subjects.
The post sparked a lively discussion about reading habits, goals, and the importance of diverse reading materials.
@iam_arinzona said: “This is very likely not true. 110 books in 365 days or 360 days is in an average of 1 book in 3 days consistently. I hope she read to understand.”
@arinzown said: “I only managed to read 12 books on political economy and history, books on warfare and psychoanalytics, so that those coming after me can read engineering and maths, so that those coming after them can read romance and fiction. I’m sorry to have done so little 😔 despite the situation of the African child on the ground.”
@Dess_0231 remarked: “Am starting the journey on January and I wanna read as many books as possible. Which ones should I start with?”
