This made me curious about my own reading so I went and counted. In 2011 I added 202 books to my library (and read them), so I expect it to be at least that in 2012. However, this number is low - I do not have any way to count how many additional books I already had in my library that I reread, or the ones I borrowed from the local library, or the audio books that I read while I'm doing handcrafts. I do read pretty quickly and I read a lot. I don't retain really well, which in some ways is not good, but in others... well, I do get to enjoy a very good read the second, third, etc time that I read the same book, each time getting something more out of it. That makes books the gifts that continue giving, for me.
