What are you talking about bro. Im friends with a lot of Indian Americans. They all call themselves that. Maybe in academia you think its changed. But like even in academia now, I see the term AmerIndian used now... Think about how insulting Native American is. Ok so theyre "native" what does that make the rest of us , Civilized Americans??? Go talk with some about how offended they are actually rather than reading a books.

Hi Robert, you look like a professional person. Like an accountant or lawyer or something. Are you? I’m 23 I recently graduated. You seem like an avid reader, so am I. I don’t know if this weird, but if I’m right - that you’re a professional & you read a lot of literature, then I’d like to know you because you look like the person I am trying to become myself. Maybe you could mentor me or something idk. I’m not expecting a reply 😅 so don’t feel pressured into replying unless you really want to. Cheers.

I think both of the previous comments are somehow right. Basically, you should just read what you enjoy and what you find interesting. No matter how much and how often. If you are interested in reading, you make time for it. On the other hand, reading goals can also be motivating. You could perhaps end up scrolling senselessly on social media pages again or watch some stupid casting show on TV that you completely forgot in 2 days. But the reading-goal reminds you for example, to put your smartphone far away and read. Again and again. No matter how it turns out: have fun!
