Lauren (booklover723) | 18 comments I have 106 books out all of them I have only read 34 of them 7 of them I read half way and then stopped because they did not interest me any more .

Tasha Turner (tashaturner) We own some 5000 physical books and I own another 3300+ kindle books.

Of the physical books I've read maybe 1000. I've DNF maybe 5-10. My husband has read all but 100 of the books many if them more than once.

Of the kindle books I've read about 500. I've DNF 20?

Tammy ~Witching Hour Reads~ (03tammy-lynn) | 1434 comments I own approximately 800 physical books of them I have read about 300, I have 3 DNF. I am not sure how many ebooks I own.


Jessica (Goldenfurpro) (goldenfurproductions) | 340 comments I own over 200 physical books and haven't read around 30 of them.
I own around 300 ebooks and have only read 40 of them...
(I can't resist the temptation of a free ebook)

Toni | 83 comments I have about 900 on my ereader and have read all of them. And I have about 200 on my tbr list that I plan on getting to. Since I got my e-reader I am a downloading fool! They should really open a support group for someone like me!

I own a lot of books, but I haven't read them all and I keep buying more books so my TBR keeps GROWING!! :)

Duks (cnduks_) | 1836 comments I've read half of what I own. Developed this habit of buying books and just leaving them there, like eventually I'll get to them just not now.

So no new books for me until i catch up on most of them.

Jonathan | 5 comments I own a couple thousand books and then in digital formats, a couple thousand more. I've read about 50-75% of the steadily growing collection.

Joeera  | 49 comments I own 1200 books and counting out of those books i've read 698 and I have 768 to go.


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) I've traded a lot of books over the years that I've read. I went on a buying spree the last 2 years. So now I have like 1400 unread books, and I have a little over 100 ebooks.

Helps prevent reading ruts though :)

Autumn Kalquist (autumnkalquist) Around 800... probably read all the fiction and 3/4s of the non-fiction.


message 14: by Saul (new)

Saul Witman | 3 comments At present, I have 4,123 paper books (completely catalogued) but my library of an additional nearly 4,000 more was destroyed in a house fire eight years ago. Of those I had read every one and of present about 3,700.

The problem lies in what is described as read? As I do a lot of historical research some of the books have had only one or two chapters read out of them as they were all that I required of that book, e.g. specific history of a military regiment from a "Complete History of the ? Army"

I have 1,147 Kindle, Kobo, Project Guggenheim etc. titles (the vast majority free) in my tablet and in the PC but of those, IIRC, I've read only 322.
