Sioux Falls Man Donates Collection Of Nearly 18k Science Fiction Books
- jacquesm 11y ago> Allen says he's read about 25 percent of the books in his basement Interesting. I don't own any books that I haven't read. My rule is that I can't buy another one before I've finished the previous one and I've only stopped reading a book once or twice and violated that self imposed rule. He's probably still read more SF than anybody alive, impressive.

That is indeed quite impressive, and though I'm sure somebody out there has read even more, building a collection like that takes some serious dedication.
