It was an interesting read. Wanted to listen to jazz while reading it

Mish | 3601 comments It hasn’t been that long ago but you’ve certainly read a lot of books in that short period of time…Well done :)

Michael (knowledgelost) Problem with reading multiple books at a time; at times I feel like it's been so long since I've finished a book and then at other times it feels like I've finished all the books at once

Ha! Yeah I can understand that. I can only manage 2 at a time and at times I’ve finished them on the same day

I’m amazed though how you can read many multiple books at once. Some of those books you’ve read are pretty involved…they’re not light reading at all.

message 175: by Zoey (new)

Zoey  (rozannen) | 1045 comments WOW!! 100 books in just under 8 months. That is amazing. I've never really counted how many books I read in a year, but I know it would be nowhere near 100 and my husband thinks I read a lot. HA! I think I need to show him this thread. :)

Congratulations KL! Great result. Are you going to update your number, like they're trying to get me to do?


message 177: by Danielle (new)

Danielle | 33 comments I am in awe Michael. I managed 120 in one year once but this year I am only at 37. I worry sometimes with my excessive reading whether I am simply "chewing and swallowing" books rather than "digesting" them properly. Do you ever have that worry? I have a FB friend who decided to review & blog every book he read so he was forced to take notes on each one. http://tonysreadinglist.blogspot.com.au/
I don't even review my books, I think I still have the horror of being forced to write book reviews at school.

My goal now is 150
