How many fiction books do you all read?

I'm putting in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves for my living room today. I mostly read e-books on my Kindle, but I have an affection for old paperback pulp books from 60's and 70's.

So I go to ebay and buy "lots" of them fairly cheap, not caring about the titles. Sometimes 10 books at a time. Now that I'm retired I plan to read every single one, even the bad ones. I have the equivalent of a small home library of them now.

How many fiction books do you all read? E-book or paperback. But not interesting in audiobooks. I'm curious about physically-read books.

  • Almost entirely fiction, a couple dozen a year. I'm currently rereading a book series with around 20 books, I think.

    Not considering audio books in the statistic is a little weird and comes off as attempted gatekeeping... If someone has taken the time to consume book media, it shouldn't matter if it was listened to or not. My wife is dyslexic and listenes to quite a few audio books a year, but can only finish a couple print books.

      Nah, not meaning it to look like that. I just like picturing people sitting reading. I listen to audiobooks myself. But I like reading the words. So it was just my personal preference for the post, not a judgement on audiobooks.
