My problem is I subscribe to so many fabulous podcasts that whenever I am wandering around with my ipod on, it is usually to try and catch up on those. Re-reading - ah, wouldn't that be nice!!

Re-reading – ah, wouldn’t that be nice!!

Recently I read a blog from Julie at ForgottenClassics.com who actually finds time to RE-READ favorites. Except for my favorite book I rarely re-read anything. That would certainly cut back on the 3,000 figure! On the other hand I've recently added an extra book per month to my reading goals by listening to them on my iPod.

And WHAT??? Only 3000 miserable books in a lifetime? I've heard of the read-a-book-a-week thing but didn't realize that 3000 books could be the maximum number. It's true. We can even learn a thing or two from reading books, which aren't that good or popular. Any book can be a good book, as long as we give it a chance to prove itself. Something like that. But then if I were to read all the books ever published, I would need to be born again and again! Hi there,

I definitely have to start reading more books, because I'm sure I want to beat that average! It sounds so paltry. What a sad number.

Help me to read more than 3000 books before I end up things. I need more companions (books) in my wish list. O God! Help me to read more than 3000 books before I end up things.

I didn't add the number of wishlist books in, but with that I would have probably already hit my 3000 as well. It's just not fair :( I know!

I'm going to have to quit LibraryThing in a few years so I stop getting new recommendations and can read the books already on my TBR pile and want list! This is extremely disturbing to me.
