How many books have you read this year?

[Brian.]

Quite an old thread resurrection but what is your number this year?

 

I have read 71 books and I don't think I'll manage to finish another before we reach 2025. I think I am likely to read less books next year as I want to tackle more of the bigger works of literature which intimidate me.

72 so far and due to finish at least 2 more before the end of the year. More than I’ve ever read before. 
 

No idea what will happen next year but I will be reading something and always like to challenge myself.

 

Good luck @Brian.

On number 25 at the moment I think, might fit one more in before year end.

72 so far this year, with 2 on the go at present, likely to finish one or both by year end.  It's been a good year's reading (quality as well as quantity), that has picked up as the year has gone on.  Good to get a few megas under the belt too, as have shied away a bit from them a bit since lockdown: Ulysses, Tristram Shandy and Daniel Deronda have all been ambitions unfulfilled before this year. Been a couple of years since hit 70 last.

I'm currently on 86, not counting all the audio books I listen to while cooking or doing knitting that involves looking at the stitches all the time.

Only about 25 or so.
