Was reading the page of my CR where it warns about copyright and it says something about not being authorized to use the book for AI training. It's my first time seeing it, have you seen it before in more recent books?? 🧐 Also using books to train AI is crazy, leave the books alone please. 😔

What counts as second-screening: Having a video or a movie in the background as you read; reading something else on a different screen as you read (including spoiling what you're reading by looking something up about the plot); looking away from what you're reading periodically to scroll on social media, including PB; playing a game while reading.

I feel like this question is a little unfair for audiobook readers because you guys intentionally do all this stuff while listening to the audiobook... But if you are dividing your attention to the point where you have to rewind I think you're second-screening.

So have you been dividing your attention?

No judgment by the way. I'm literally doing it right now. I caught myself putting on some YT videos while getting through the story I'm reading. I'm still taking it in, I'm just kind of like... not immersed.

I just see people with high numbers and I wonder if you're reading all day while doing other stuff. Is that the secret?

Soooo, every time I finish a book, I have this rule that I can’t start another book that same day. I need to let the book sink in for a little while first. I have no idea when I started doing this, but it got me wondering: what are some of the weird or oddly specific rules you have for yourself when it comes to reading? 👀

I've faced my biggest Pagebound challenge yet with Lord of the Rings... I have a copy with the whole trilogy between one set of covers + it includes a bit of a prologue + a bit of an epilogue and all in all it's just so confusing. How does one log their reading process on that?? To most the obvious answer would be logging the three books separately as they are, after all, different books. This approach however has one glaring problem and it's that it's hard to count pages once you get to the second book. I'd have to start calculating pages every time I want to update my reading process. Does anyone have experience with books like this?

P.S. Would you count the book as just one book or three different books? This mostly applies if you read physical books because you're not changing books in between if you get what I mean?
