I really wish I had the motivation/patience to read hundreds of books.

and its unfortunate I don't because I am a VERY good reader. I was always the best reader in grade school, but was terrible in virtually every other subject. Reading, is really the only thing I am good at,


You just have to start. Once you get interested, and start reading good books, it's harder to stop than to start. Getting guidance from an institution like a university in the beginning can be helpful, to help you sort through the ideas in more difficult books. I would not have understood very much of Nietzsche, Kant, or Hegel without the help of Dr. Phillips and Dr. Morrisson. I owe them a lot and still go sit in on Morrisson's classes occasionally when I have spare time. Learning is really exhilarating.

I have a friend who has the inclination to be an intellectual but can't seem to muster up the attention span to move past watching youtube videos to reading books. Well-argued ideas are very difficult to compact into a youtube video.

He was my favorite professor, Dr. Iain Morrison's, advisor in grad school. It's the first of his that I've read and I'm really enjoying it so far, it's really practical but well-researched stuff. For christmas I got four of his books, that one and these three:







Can't wait to read them all.

So I counted the amount of books that I own. I have 73. Since I usually alway buy what I read and rarely burrow or rent or whatever, I added an extra 20 because I can think of a few I remember reading but not owning. Unfortunately, most of them are fiction to my great surprise...

I thought I had read a lot of books. But when you look at 73 books in a bookcase, you quickly realize that it isn't much at all... I should have read at least 300 books by now... 20 per year for the last 15 years... Right now I am averaging 6 books per years for the last 15 years... Its a miserable number. How can I claim to be somewhat smart with so little books read?

How many book have you read?


I quit reading when I was 14 because I read all the books in my local library.

sayong "thug life" isn't funny. Its an acronym for:

Who counts and compares how many books they have read? I haven't read many, but 93 ain't nothing. My mom has read atleast over 2000 books. Including the bible a couple times, and she isn't even religious.  You ain't got nothing on book worms.

I would say at least 1000, probably more, no way I could possibly think back to grade school and figure up all the books I have read. Some may have been rereading but oh well. And the books I read in grade school were well above the normal level. My teachers were surprised I was reading books they didn't until high school/college. I own well over a thousand and haven't read all of them yet, currently split between my house and my parents house.

morrow - the wheel of time series is great, I have gone through it several times as the last few books were released and enjoyed it every time, though it takes a while to get through the whole series again.

I have read the only book worth reading. The bible, a nonfiction masterpiece written by God himself.

I've read just about every Stephen King book and as a child, every Goosebumps book.
All told, I've read a low estimate of probably 450 full books/novels.

Somewhere between 30 and 50.
I don't read as much as I'd like to, mostly because my friends dont - which leads to a limited knowledge of what books are actually worth reading.

I got burned with my last book I read "on a hunch". It was a Dan Brown novel. Hes a pretty bad author, now I know.

They did... I've reread a couple as an adult, and they were meh, but they did what they were supposed to do and got me in to reading as a child... I took nearly a decade off from reading, but when I got a job I could read at, the books started really getting rocked thru

I've actually never finished a Koontz book, but what are some of your favorite King novels?

My all time fave is The Stand, but the Dark Tower series got me back in to reading as an adult (actually learned about em from here)... Also, Different Seasons and The Green Mile
