I’m putting in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves for my living room today. I mostly read e-books on my Kindle, but I have an affection for old paperback pulp books from 60’s and 70’s.
So I go to ebay and buy “lots” of them fairly cheap, not caring about the titles. Sometimes 10 books at a time. Now that I’m retired I plan to read every single one, even the bad ones. I have the equivalent of a small home library of them now.
How many fiction books do you all read? E-book or paperback. But not interesting in audiobooks. I’m curious about physically-read books.
I have always read, but it is only in the last decade or so - prompted by the internet, of course - that have thought about counting the books that I do read. Since then, the lowest in a year has been around 6 (an extremely busy year) and the highest around 60. A normal year is probably closer to the latter than the former. I am half way through my 3rd book so far this year.
However, just at the moment I am reading that book - Consider Phlebas - partly as e-book and partly as an audiobook, depending on where I am and what I am doing. Does that count? I am finding myself doing this more often lately.
