- defrost 3y agoHeh - confined for the summer gives a bit of an incentive, sorry about that. All the same it's a high number, .. I'm guessing more than a few were light pulps and the best you could find given the library at hand? I read a lot of books, several thousand, from 12 to 17, and kept a log of them - later I worked in (and led) a team that digested a few thousand technical documents a day (with a heavy dose of computer assistence to find|pick out key parts), there's a lot of material you can fly through quickly and not miss much, there are rare books that can take a year or a lifetime to fully digest and finish with.
