I have a room filled with several thousand books I've read, an a shelf in my bedroom filled with several hundred books I bought to read later. Then I have 2 ebook readers with several hundred other books, some I've read, some I haven't read yet.
As a child, I've been pretty impressed the first time I've been to some friend's home where there was only a few books, the dictionary, the Guinness book of records and a couple of large, picture books that nobody ever reads. I was so alien to me; even at the age of 12 my bedroom had its longest wall entirely covered in bookshelves.
- cgio 13y agoSame thing here. There is nothing worse than carrying my books in boxes and being afraid to unpack them because I move every 7-8 months. I have a reader, but the feeling is definitely not the same. I also tend to at least read the introduction of every book I think might be of interest even if I do not read it all. I am not reading a book per day, though, as Alan Kay; one per week (and a couple dozen introductions)is closer to my limits with 2 children at home.
- arethuza 13y agoI now listen to a lot of audiobooks - I only listen to the unabridged ones otherwise it feels like cheating. The big advantage being I can listen to them while walking to/from work and while doing other things like cooking - that's probably 2 hours a day. [NB Audible is awesome - I particularly like how you can return a book if you don't like it, something I've only done a couple of times but is a great feature to have].
