多読 Tadoku Reading Challenge

I have a core-reading session before bed where I read a novel for between 10 and 20 pages, which takes between 20-45 minutes. I've been reading a lot of manga as well rather than, say, playing video games - they go pretty quick, and a 180 page volume takes ... an hour? Hour and a half? I haven't timed myself. I had a couple of days where I read 3 volumes in a day, but I'm more or less over that, hence the steady decline in rankings.

I'm just doing a bit of light daily kanji study otherwise - about 20 mins/day.

Thanks for sharing. That sounds about the same clip I can manage. I wish I had more time to devote to it, but I think given my life constraints I'm doing my best. I try and take full advantage of "gap" time (riding the bus, lunch time) and use those time periods to either read or work through Anki material.

I also work through a vocab deck (which doesn't count for anything, lol) and a subs2srs deck (which I can count as subtitle reading). [EDIT - you can't count reps, so I'd not doing this. Thanks to @lordsilent for the heads-up. Kids, don't follow my example!] I deliberately keep my vocab study light - only about 5-10 new words a day; I'm relying primarily on extensive reading to help reinforce meaning in context.
