willoyd Posted April 10, 2016 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. Quote
timebug Posted April 10, 2016 Posted April 10, 2016 Probably (I don't keep count!) around two dozen, so far. Quote
DauntlessTribute Posted April 16, 2016 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
Nollaig Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Finished number 50 last night! I'm 3 books ahead of schedule Quote
Kylie Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I finished #20 last night. I'm 2 books ahead of schedule. Just keeping my head above water at the moment. Quote
MrCat Posted July 7, 2016 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
Sakura Posted July 7, 2016 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
Madeleine Posted July 7, 2016 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
Nollaig Posted July 14, 2016 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
Lau_Lou Posted July 15, 2016 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
Nollaig Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Awww thank you both! It just means I have no family, friends, or social life Quote
shirley Posted July 21, 2016 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
Talisman Posted July 22, 2016 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
J. A. Haag Posted August 7, 2016 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
chesilbeach Posted August 7, 2016 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
Nollaig Posted August 7, 2016 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
Talisman Posted August 30, 2016 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
Lau_Lou Posted August 30, 2016 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
