350,000 isn't large, it's insanely huge. That's well over 100 years at one book a day, or nearly a 1000 years for many readers.

lol... so.. no everything in there isn't all books, however the majority are.
I have spent anywhere from 100 to 400 dollars a month for 40 years on books. My version of drugs?
I actually read .. hmm... let me get a sense as it's not as easy as saying this many books a year. A lot of books are only 200 pages while some are 10,000+ pages.
Amazon says I read between 400 and 500 books a year... these are of the 200 to 500 pages a book size. I also read 20 or 30 books a year that are closer to 5000 to 10000 pages in size. So, lets say I average 2 books a day of average size. I have no idea why I can read as fast as I can but my reading speed on a bad day is about 600 words a minute and has been since I was 9 or 10. Somehow I also work and have a family around that

it is a bit of an addiction though and to be honest not sure it is a good thing.
prior to ebooks I bought physical books. like I mentioned prior in this thread.. I have at least 10,000 physical books that I started collecting at age 7 when I started obsessively reading. Given I'm close to 60 now... It's been a few years I've been doing this.
