Being such a slow reader, I often lament that there are sooooo many books to read, but, sooooo little life to read them. The older I get, the more that applies.
Well, I was surfing today and found a Gizmodo article that tells me Google has figured out how many books there are. Leave it to Google to count. How nerdy. 😉
In this article, Google estimates that there are….are you ready?
129,864,880
(at least as of the writing of that article…I’ll bet a few more have been added since then)
OK, then, I need to get busy!
Back to “HP and the Deathly Hallows”…only about 129,864,000 to go!
Sooo many books, soooo little time.
The picture above: I was sorting out all the books I have at AltamontCowork one day. There are more, I ran out of room on the big table. These are Thrillers and Mysteries.

Only a true nerd would actually know this fact LOL. But that is a very interesting fact. Thanks for sharing.

I feel the same…although I notice when I finally have the time to read, I get bombarded with interruptions. Then I start getting irritated 😛
Book piles like the picture above make me drool. :P~~~
