I’ve read 3 in a week before

Depends on the quality of books and the quantity of time lived. I read at least one book a week. So at minimum 52 a year

@octoberthesixth I usually read memoirs and nonfiction scientific stuff.

@Lostpoet you read as a hobby ?

Lostpoet · M

@octoberthesixth Yes, and to keep living.

Well, at 2 per day for 100 years, it wouldn’t a bit over 73,000. I think that would be pretty much a maximum.

@Jill1990 even half of that estimate seems unlikely to achieve.

@octoberthesixth I’ve read maybe 200 in my lifetime. I take it in spells.

I want to read ALL the books. Google said the number is 4,560-4,880.

@Manfredthemanic my goal is to read at least 1,000 before I die.
