How many books have you read this year?

[Infinitefox]

I'm at 102. How many have you read?

[Jozanny]

I do not tabulate my titles, so it is hard to say, and I start things at different times, sometimes not finishing, but I believe I did complete

The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Cloud Atlas
The Count of Monte Cristo
Madame Bovary (a careful reread)
For Whom The Bell Tolls (another reread)
and and e-text of The Idiot, if that counts, which I did not like

and have a host of academic and non-fiction titles unfinished, and reread Henry James, as I so often do, and finally understood Acton's experiment in The Europeans, though what Eugenia was *up to* still puzzles me, as she could not have cared for Clifford.

I reread much more than I used to, and consume more slowly so as to be careful--perhaps it is age.

[LitNetIsGreat]

Haven't a clue, not as many as I would have liked probably.

[Caspa]

Infinitefox, 102! That's amazing.

Myself, I think I've read around 25 - 30 books this year. Though I can only ever read one book at a time, not too sure why! Guess I like to read that way to appreciate each book more.

[Alexei]

Round ninety I think. That's because I usually read more than one book at the same time.

[Skooter]

I think I am now reading the 28th. I had some big gaps reading-wise this year though. I got so distracted by other things, it's sad.
Next year I'm planning on getting to 50! (of course, not a static number, it will depend on how 'heavy' the books are XD)

[Delta40]

I think I may have read 3 or maybe 4. This is a marvellous feat for me given my circumstances this year. Pillars of the Earth and World without End by Ken Follett were two of them. When I'm in the bathroom, I consistently read. E.R Braithwaites Paid Servant. Something To Tell You by Hanif Kureishi. Oh yes. Lighthouse Keeping by Jeanette Winterson

[shortstoryfan]

I think I've read three or four books...in my entire life.

[thelastmelon]

I think it'll be 80 books this year. I've read 79 so far and in the middle of another book that I plan to finish this year. :)

[papayahed]

I've read 18 this year. (My average for the last 5 years is 16.6/year.)

[Drkshadow03]

I've read 71 books this year.

My New Years Resolution last year was to attempt writing about every single one, which I've done for the last 70 books so far (haven't gotten to writing up a post on book # 71 yet). Year ain't over either! If I had to guess I'll probably get another 2-6 books in. When the year is officially over I'll post one large summation listing all my books I read for the year.

If anyone is interested you can check out my blog where you'll find a "journal" entry for each and every book I've read. I would love for more people to start a blog and do what I'm doing (easy way to share thoughts about a book, themes, interpretations, plus to learn about new books). Best of all it works as a great supplement to the forum.

[Bakiryu]

i read about 2 books per week, so i can't really calculate.....:(

[Dr. Hill]

I've been reading rather long books, so about 8.

[Tallon]

I've counted 33, plus a good 10 or so that i never finished. That's more than i thought it would be.

[Chloe M]

I read ten in December, one of those was Anna Karenina. I spent July through November reading War and Peace. I am not sure about the rest of the year, however I can safely say 30.
I have no idea how many ebooks I've read. It would be a staggering number but most of them were short.

[Jeremiah Jazzz]

I've read about 40-50 books this year. Next year I'm just going to keep a list. Whatever book I finish, I'll place on this list and the year after next try and beat it haha

[Remarkable]

I don't actually know...Mmmmm,I should probably try keeping a list,or I'll loose track of what I read...Maybe a resolution...

[manolia]

Around 50 books this year :)

[miyagisan]

I finished 37 books this year. Here's the list:

http://mattfarina.wordpress.com/2008-book-list/

I'd like to read 50+ in 09', but I'm not sure if my school schedule will allow that. Latin, British Romantic lit, poetry, and Peer Writing Consultation - ack!!

[Hank Stamper]

45 i think from looking at the books on my shelves... almost one a week... i blame that on Thomas Pynchon, i seem to remember it taking me ages to finish V.. 46 if i finish Oliver Twist by tomorrow!

altho i have also read a ton of short stories and literary theory books for uni

[Remarkable]

I lost count at 55:(...I don't know,there are probably some more,but I can't recall them now.2008 seems endlessly long:p!

[DaveB]

I've read about 40-50 books this year. Next year I'm just going to keep a list. Whatever book I finish, I'll place on this list and the year after next try and beat it haha

I've kept a list of books read each year for the last three years. In 2008 I read sixty-two. In reviewing the list, I am surprised by the range of my interests. Non fiction, novels, short story collections, old, new.

Next year I intend to write a brief summary of my reaction and impressions of each book I read. It will be interesting (to me anyway) to read them years later.

[Virgil]

If anyone is interested, you can read about my 2008 reads in my blog here: http://www.online-literature.com/forums/blog.php?b=7065. :)

[Captain Trips]

I think I've read about 14 or 15 I'm not really sure. I can't remember what all I read at the beginning of the year. I'm kind of a slow reader, plus I read a few big books this year, like It. Dang, I need to try and read more next year.

[skasian]

Have no idea, but yesterday (which was 31st of December for me) I counted that I read 25 books in December. I am aiming this January that I read at least one book a day.. now starting on Darkness at noon by Arthur Koestler.

[Tallon]

I think i'd end up in an asylum if i read a book a day.

[Drkshadow03]

Impressive blog! Seems like you read very much greek last year. I thought of checking out some greek tragedies so your site will be helpful since you have reviews of all the stuff you read.

[Joreads]

Have no idea, but yesterday (which was 31st of December for me) I counted that I read 25 books in December. I am aiming this January that I read at least one book a day.. now starting on Darkness at noon by Arthur Koestler.

Wow that is amazing. I read six in December (holidays) I usual read at least a book a month for bookclub and try to read one other if I can fit it in.

[skasian]

Well, everybody is different arent they?:)

Ah, maybe your days are very busy! Yes, December is holiday for me too, so more spare time means more time for reading!

[mona amon]

After reading the number of books on others' lists and their titles, I wonder what I'm doing on this forum! :p

The only new books I read last year are-

The Line of Beauty- Alan Holinghurst

Robinson Crusoe- Defoe

Hard times-Dickens

Nicholas Nickleby- Dickens

The Tales of Beedle the Bard- J.K.Rowling

I spend most of my reading time re-reading old favourites, but even so it couldn't be more than 15 books. :blush:

[book_jones]

Not counting kids books I finished about 22 this year which I'm quite happy about. I could have read even more if An American Tragedy hadn't been so long! Hopefully I'll finish even more this year.

[Annamariah]

I've counted every book I read (with at least a hundred pages, or it won't make it to the list) for several years now, and sadly the total number decreases every year. In 2008 I only read 58 books, when in 2003 I read 177. The number does not include books I've read for my studies, only those I read because I wanted to.

[JBI]

300-400, somewhere around there, many not complete reads, most poetry books around 100 pages each.

when do you find time to eat/sleep?

[mortalterror]

when do you find time to eat/sleep?

I imagine it's largely a matter of focus and reading speed. My mother's like that. She's read 1-3 full sized books a day, since I've been alive, and probably before then. She doesn't have any other hobbies. From what I can tell, JBI doesn't have much interest in sports or movies either. I'd say he's wasting his youth, but who knows, that commitment could pay off later.

I'd say he's wasting his youth, but who knows, that commitment could pay off later.

To some extent, though I think 300-500 pages of reading a day isn't too much. Reading is more than just a hobby for me, it is a potential career, so I take it seriously, reading books not just for enjoyment.

As for other hobbies - music is one, and reading allows me to pursue other interests. I still go to around 70 or so shows a year, which takes up time, but in truth, sports were never my thing, once everyone caught up to me in height.

Really, sports the way they are seen today seem to be troubling to me, as they seem too close to chauvinism than for personal betterment, given the trends in mass-communication and professional broadcasting. I am interested in self-fulfilling sports, such as Skiing, and running, but those are more for personal challenge, and not competition.


When it comes down to it, art in general, and I think, to me, especially writing seems perhaps the best way to spend ones time, with the exception of interacting with friends. I think film is trying to approach that, and I saw some great ones this year (most recently the Tokyo Sonata, which was fantastic, and Heaven on Earth, which was a very challenging and difficult movie) and it's good to know that at least some artists are still out there making good art, instead of visual effects rubbish, but even so, I think reading still is the form of communication.

When it comes down to it though, I can easily plow through 100-150 pages of poetry an hour, and about 75-100 in prose, so it really is less time than people think. The 300-400 books weren't War and Peace length anyway.

[bazarov]

I don't count but it's about book per week or two weeks and my books are really really long. 10 years ago it was about 2 books in 3 days.
O tempora, o mores! :(

Exactly! I've read Brothers Karamazov in 2 days; but never before and never after I had 2 free days to ''loose'' in that way.:(

It seems you are very similar to me, I read around 300~400 pages a day but for me its for mere enjoyment. May I ask what is your occupation?
I also enjoy music, rather classical and I enjoy sports that arent team based such as kayaking, squash and swimming. Do you make some art? I come from a musical and art family, and I spend a good hour a day drawing, mostly fashion based and portraiture. Its good to see there are many people here that shares the same interest as me.

[Amethyst2010]

I read 40 books in 2008. The thinnest book I read in 2008 was The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery, and the longest novel was John Steinbeck's East of Eden. I do not read poetry, but I made an exception in 2008 reading Beowulf.

[Mopey Droney]

Didn't read as many but feel I read just as much if not more, as this year's selections were on the whole longer and more dense than usual.
Ulysses by James Joyce
Within a Budding Grove, The Guermantes Way, Cities of the Plain by Marcel Proust
Consider The Lobster, A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, An American Childhood, The Writing Life by Annie Dillard
Great Expectations, Bleak House, David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
The Mysteries of Pittsburgh by Michael Chabon
Indignation by Philip Roth

There are others but that's what I remember now.

[Akeldama]

I started keeping a list of the things I read in April, and that list ended up with 36 books on it. The actual number of books I've read is a bit higher, considering that I wasn't keeping track for three months last year.

I forget who it was that said they write something about every book they read, but that sounds like a great idea. I'm going to try that out.

[cat1177]

46...it's usually about a book a week for me (i spent a whole month on Anna Karenina though)
reading New York Trilogy now, my first of the year.

[Schokokeks]

Shame, I only read about 30 last year, only about half as much as the year before...
I guess it must have been because I've been away from LitNet all this time that I've allowed myself to succumb to the illusion that there are actually things as enjoyable as reading ;).

[burntpunk]

In the year of 2008, I finished nine books cover to cover. Which on the surface is poor given my passion, but I have an on-going project in which I try and disect the best books ever written, hailing from different time periods, genres and places, I am trying to extract the strongest qualities, from reading extracts and studying, researching, scalping ... and extract it into my own writing -- I am probably losing out here, but there are thousands of books that I need to be exposed to if I am to shape as a writer.

Student right now, which is good, and potentially I want to be a critic/academic, which is easier said than done.

if anybody had a true calling in life, it is JBI being a critic ;)

good luck i say :thumbs_up

i would definitely read his books (if only to disagree with them :D )

[twilight661]

60 books in 2008.
60.
70 books in 2009.
I hope.

[semi-fly]

Since you're asking for this years count (2009), I've only managed to read seven books as of yesterday. I try to read 1-2 books a week that should give you a good guess for my goals for the rest of the year.

[bouquin]

2008 --> 47 books (14,037 pages)
