disregarding school books, how many books have you read so far?

I have absolutely no idea how many books I have read. All I know is that I have read a lot of books. I have approximately 200 books lining up my bookshelf. That is only a small part of what I have read. I've got some in my mother's house and some in my in-laws house, and well, a lot of them I have exchanged back for another book, some I have given to someone. I am an avid reader, though I am finding less time to read these days.

So far may be I have read some six hundred books because I have develop the reading passion when I was only three and this is all thank to my grandfather who loved reading and he is the one who taught me the importance of reading too so I never missed a single book in school and even in books which I buy also. Every year I buy some thirty book to read.

Maybe 300? Hard to say, but I did count how many books I had one time and it was about 100, and that was back when I was a teenager and I'm in my 30's now. So, maybe more. And, that doesn't count library books. The number of series books I read (Baby Sitter's Club and Sweet Valley) would probably have put me well over 100 by the time I was 13. 300 might be low.

499. Yes, I actually counted. Pretty sad, right? I am a huge reader, but I'm still pretty young. (Only 19) In about three years, I think I'll be up to six or seven hundred. So far this year I've read 53 books, and I'm aiming for a hundred within the year.

Hi, Apart from text books? Uhm, well, I don't know. May be 2000 or more. But not all of them have a permanent impression in my mind. I remember excerpts from most of the books I read. The number 20-30 is very positive. It means you have a habit of reading books apart from your text books, and its admirable. I had more interest in reading stuffs that were not in my text books. My parents always encouraged me to read books. I have bought more than 2000 books so far. Read most of them. I have lost many of those books, though. Now my reading habit is not as strong as it used to be. I don't have enough time to read books outside engineering, though I still prefer to read beyond the syllabus. I hate being limited within such boundaries, especially when reading is concerned. Thanks God bless you
