In 1988 I read an article in my local newspaper that stated that the average U.S. citizen read 1000 books in their lifetimes. I sat a thought, "I've read 1000 books. I've read 120 Perry rhodan books alone, so I have to have read 1000."

I then started a database to keep track of all the books I've read. I've been tracking every book since then. I have included in the database all the books I know I've read before I read this article (Perry Rhodan, Clement, Asimov, Bradbury and many many more).

Currently I'm just shy of 4000 books. My goal is to read 10,000 books in my life time.

I average about 2-4 books a week. I figure I need about 40 more years, or a target age of 89.

Cheers,

Mooncrest
