I have a few things that I will list and give info for.


The whole idea that audiobooks dont count as books. To me this will always make zero sense, you gain the story no matter what format and it doesnt affect anybody if some reads through audio books. And there are people who are unable to read books in a physical format so saying it doesnt count as reading is just rude to those people.


Getting mad at people who dog ear their books, if they own it then its fine for them to dog ear it. Now if its borrowed then thats different, but if that person owns said book then what they do with it is their own business.


Putting people down for not reading classics, If someone reads classics thats fine, if someone doesnt read them thats fine. Whats not fine is putting people who dont read classics down, they are not less of a reader for it.


Final note, hope everyone is enjoying what they are reading
