I have a rough idea of how many books I have read because I collect books and the total of fiction I have currently comes to about 3000. This has taken a lifetime of reading and it does not take into account the books I have read more than once, the non-fiction books or the ones I have disposed of and forgotten also the magazines, pulp, digest and otherwise. <br />This means that estimating the total number to be somewhere between 3000 and 4000 books, I seem to have read on average from 50 to 66 books each year.snafuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07588812293454033077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7078296049434103926.post-20755004341535650152011-06-09T15:22:15.430+01:002011-06-09T15:22:15.430+01:00Thanks for the link to the 1001 list, and even mor...Thanks for the link to the 1001 list, and even more for the maths. I consider myself a reasonably prolific reader but only totalled 136 from the list BUT there's load there that I'd consider 'male' books, have never read Don Dellilo for example and several who I've begun and then discarded orr disliked one book so never read any more.<br />Fascinating way to spend half an hour though - thank youSandra Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788472031698175632noreply@blogger.com
