As its said its the journey that matters not the destination, similarly its the content of the book we read matters not the number of books we read 😛 😉

Misbehaving – Richard H.Thaler
The Best American Essays 2013
Farther Away (essays) by Jonathan Franzen
Now reading “ Fresh Air Fiend” by Paul Theoraux
27 – reading my first 1000 pager this year so it’s slowing me down?
Heading towards the end of number seven.
43 so far
Kristina Nowell Easy … I’m retired and listen to lots of audio books!
Kristina Nowell I realize they may not be for everyone, but they have certainly allowed me to take in far more books than I could physically read.
6 xx
Do picture books count? Lol, if so, dozens (children’s librarian here).

11. A little behind.
8 – Gone with the wind took half of the time !
I love gone with the wind
I count pages : 900 page.
First 2weeks of january finished 2books, but after that has not finish even 1 and still struggling to finish Nudge by Thaler and The World is flat by Friedman.
I have no idea… I average 2-4/week. I don’t sleep much
Twenty something. Can’t remember exactly.
67
67 this year? 2018? 🙂
Yeah I have what my people call a problem ?
So, in 44 days you read 67 books ??
Yeah
I read through the day even at uni
500-600 pages
Not much
Its two am here ??
Time is all I have ??
Not much
I have what people consider a reading problem once I pick up the book I keep at it till it’s done
I read all five books in the asoiaf series in three days even I had to admit it was a problem
Not really but I have been known to miss a few meals and not sleep for a couple of days when I get a really good book
I wish I had that amount of self control

Working on my 13th.
Is the number that important? We need to ask ourselves. As a person deeply grounded in the learning process i think numbers don’t matter. Quality not quantity matters more…
No but it’s fun.

I have no idea.
They’re not reading, they’re counting books! 😉
I agree in part because when my kids were young, and I was working full-time, I read “maybe” one book for years. I’m proud that in 2017 I read five books.
It’s always good to set goals. This year I hope to read seven books in 2018
Just half way through #2 ? I have to catch up because I planned to read 4 this month.
not enough!!

9 but book 10 will done by the end of the day …
currently on my third!
Nobody is better than the others. It’s just fun to see how people who are in different situations read. Whether you’ve read 1 or 20 is impressive because at least people are reading and enjoying what they are reading.
why is this even a question?
Because it’s fun and interesting to some people.
how many books?? psh…. what size are they? how many pages?? how large is the print?? is it a light idiot romance or some heavy Russian tomb?? you act like a book is a standard sized thing and that the number matters in some way
The number doesn’t matter at all. And 1 huge book or 20 picture books doesn’t matter either. It was just a curiosity question.
then why even ask? I see these ludicrous posts all the time here, alongside the “how many books do you plan to read this year” posts. it’s inane and annoying
@Summer so, you found this post fun? seriously?
Yes!
It’s not my cup of tea either but other people really enjoy it so, whatever, I just don’t usually participate in the conversation. Partly because I don’t keep track so I have no answer. But as someone who does occasionally get excited by data, I do think adding in additional metrics besides number of books would be much more interesting. I have friends who track this in massive spreadsheets of pages read, genre, author, you name it. If it can be tracked, they track it. And it’s fun to look at with them.
Some people just want a brief moment to brag, and/or be inspired by, how much they and others are reading. It’s fine. There are things that I like that other people find annoying/stupid and I appreciate when they let me have my moments of fun with it so I try to do the same for other people.

Same thing with me
Just finished it ?
Wow.. Over 10 books is already amazing. This makes me wish I can read faster
I just wish this book I’m reading didn’t have so much bloody unnecessary detail!
@Nicole – which book??
I am not a very big reader but wanting to change that this year, I’m over halfway through A Gentleman in Moscow which I read on my lunch break at work and over half way through The Muse my evening read ?
