Read books in classics series, Penguin Classics, NYRB Classics, SF Masterworks and that sort of thing.
I get to the end where they have a couple of pages listing the other books in the series. I read through and mentally tick off all the ones I've read. I feel a great sense of satisfaction if I've read at least a quarter of the titles listed. Like it's some great accomplishment or something.
Am I the only person who does this?

I do but I get a pen and check them off

Probably 30% of the satisfaction I get from reading is the subsequent mental masturbation of listing the books or authors I have experience with.
>>7845431
That's actually moderately impressive

At least I'm not the only one

My mother used to scream at me and punish me rather severely in extended timeouts in my room and in a closet for writing in books.
Fast forward to college and I couldnt underline, and what you are suggesting is a blasphemy, only surpassed bywriting in the margins

why make the titles unreadable?
also, this seems like achievement hunting
not that its bad or anything, i just never felt this need of accomplishement
