Quite a pace
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.
That's quite a number and a slick pace.
Nah. I could never keep up a pace like that even at the peak of my reading lifetime. I think I hit 2 maybe 3 books a week when I was young during summers without a job (some summers it was just impossible to find work). But nowadays I'm happy to read a book in 2 weeks and even then it has to be a really good book. I'm into so many other distractions that if a book isn't particularly good I can easily stretch it into a month. I know that I'll never even get to read the books I already have unless I can retire tomorrow. Still, it doesn't stop me from getting new ones.
For those who remember Rincewind from the old BBS days, I recently exchanged some emails with him (thanks for hooking us up Cos) and he's still as frenetic a reader as always. What I can't figure out is how he does it with 2 kids and I've only got the one.
If only I could take a bus to work.
