 I have a kid so I get through 0% of books. 
 I have two kids. Not a valid excuse. 
 You’re not wrong. I’m weak. 
 Called out. 🤣 
 I’m a lazy pos 
 Maybe that’s because people
Are buying the wrong books. 

Maybe.  
 including audio books?  
 Wow 
 The stats came from? 
 There's a similar statistic for video games. Very few people make their way to the end. It's part of the reason games have gotten shorter (which I personally like 😁)
