How many books will you read this year? (MULTIPLE CHOICE) - Page 2

misling · 01-26-2012, 02:16 PM

I don't actually plan my reading at all, but I average a book every 2 or 3 days, more or less, so I put 100.

jgaiser · 01-26-2012, 02:17 PM

I mostly come here to read Jon's posts, but a bucket of kittens would be nice too.

Kumabjorn · 01-26-2012, 02:25 PM

I too went for "maybe about 50", I will probably read more than that, but I doubt I'get to a 100 (some are Dostoevskyan in scope). I do know that I'm likely to start more than a 100 books, but if I'm not into it after three chapters it goes into the WTF category and will be picked up when I'm in the hospital because they block WiFi due to how it screws up their medical equipment.

AnemicOak · 01-26-2012, 02:28 PM

I'll definitely read more than 100, no way I'll get close to 1,000 though.

Apache · 01-26-2012, 02:31 PM

More than a 100 too and less than a 1,000.

I'll read 12 books this year period !

DiapDealer · 01-26-2012, 02:57 PM

All of them. 100% of the books I read this year will all be books that I've read this year. What year is it anyway?

orlok · 01-26-2012, 02:58 PM

I've voted for a 100 (I did just over that last year), though my target this year is 75.

And the bucket of kittens was delicious.

Bucket o' kittens (but I got to keep them away from the dog).

Real answer, as many as life lets me.

The Terminator · 01-26-2012, 04:05 PM

I'm shooting for around 75 books this year.

Not that I would eat anyones pets or have ever eaten kittens...

Hmm, thus far 5 and I got my reader two weeks ago. So 10?

I should have read the entire list before voting. The family joke is that I read a minimum of a book a day -- all lies - sometimes fewer, sometimes more than one.
I'd have also voted for the bucket of kittens.

I'm currently reading books 22-23-24 of my 2012 challenge: one on the VISIO tablet, one on the Cybook Gen3, and one in paper.

edited to correct date - I shouldn't try to 'type' with a cat in my lap -- or, at least proofread.

Thanks, Barb

It's kind of cheating to start a 100 years early.

Indeed!

As always, my goal is 12 books a month; 144 per year. I have yet to reach it.
