willoyd Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Just finished #14. I read 70 books last year, but regard the number of books read as a target to be fairly meaningless: how can one compare a slimline 150-page Simenon with a 1000+ page Seth? Or an easy 500-page thriller read with an academic 500-page biography? . If anything, I'm aiming for fewer this year, but more big ones.

timebug Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Probably (I don't keep count!) around two dozen, so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DauntlessTribute Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 15 books so far, if you don't count with reading all the chapters in the physics book under the duration of two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCat Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Wow you people have high numbers! When do you have time to read all those books? I stopped caring about the number of books I read when I realized my TBR list is out of control so I just try to focus on a certain author or genre at a time. That being said, I think I read around 10 books this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I think I'm at 51, not counting manga. I read every day while commuting, so that's a lot of book time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Yeah it's amazing how much you can read when you're stuck on a train that isn't moving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I'm up to 70 but am having a very slow reading month this month, I need to get back on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lau_Lou Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 70 is an amazing amount! Think it would take me the whole year if not more to read that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shirley Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I have read a lot this year don't know the full total as I have been reading books on my phone as well. The books that I don't know if I am keeping yet are in a crate in the garage and I was amazed how full it was, that is without the ones I have put back on the shelf. One of these days I will try to work out how many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talisman Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I finished my 45th book of the year yesterday. I hope to complete somewhere between 80 and 90 this year and so am well on target to achieve this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. A. Haag Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I have read 76 but have put aside approximately 5 that I hope to pick up eventually. My goal is to get to 100 books by the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I've just finished my 89th book, and about to start number 90, although not sure what that will be yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'm up to 81, hopefully 82 by the end of the evening. Goodreads tells me I'm seven books ahead of schedule - thanks Sarah's Scribbles and Calvin and Hobbes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talisman Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I finished book 57 last night. Aiming to read somewhere between 80 and 90 this year, which shouldn't be too difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lau_Lou Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I see you are reading "the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime" How is it? Is there many references to Sherlock? I am succeeded my goal of 50 so I think I'll aim for 70. Shall see how it goes. May have to add a few more short stories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
