Number Of Novels I Read, And The Number Bought With My Money by Nobody: 7:08am On Apr 11, 2017 |
I have read up to a hundred novels, but I never used my money to buy any of them. Truth is that when I was a novel freak, I could boast of no kobo of my own. Now if everyone is like me, writers will make reasonable money only from awards. What about you? Zarzar Macbrooklyn 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Snow84: I grew an interest in reading from a very young age, around 9 or 10, I think, so I've probably read thousands of books...mostly from the library. Got my 1st library card around that time too. 6 books each time to last me a month. While still in primary school, my cousin, who is 7 years older & was in high school at the time, used to give me her school books to read & summarize for her. I really didn't mind because I enjoyed it. I never buy books either. My home collection is small but I'm planning on expanding it. I got 3 so far ![]() 6 Likes 2 Shares

For you not to have bought novels with your money simply shows you have no love for reading them. Whatever is your passion will cost you money. That's the rule. 21 Likes |

Used to be an avid novelist growing up. Would finish a 500 page tiny print in days. But see ehn, as the going got tough, I had to gradually drop fiction for reality. Now I am continuously faced with tonnes of professional materials begging for attention. So let's say I'm on sabbatical from novels till I retire from this hustling profession ![]() ![]() 6 Likes |

They can't go beyond a paragraph...you can confirm it here on Nairaland. There tones of places to get free books especially if you're 6...even as an adult. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Can't count the number I've read, and my present book collection is quite impressive with about hundred books on my kindle device and more in the cloud, waiting for me to read them. I keep downloading from the kindle store/ Audible both free and paid. Also on my phone via okadabook store. Then sometimes from free websites which I read via the robotic text to speech reader on my phone. Even my old iPod has some audio books I listen to from time to time. I have only very few paperbacks as they are quite bulky, take up space and gather dust, so everything is digital for me. How much have I spent on books, hmmm.... enough but not in millions. 1 Like |
