I lost count like ten years ago. My main weakness is being in a bookstore surrounded by books - I MUST BUY at least one!!!! I still have not read the ones I bought 5 years ago. And I still buy anytime I go to a bookstore 1 Like |

Counting the number of novels I have read is like trying to count the grains of sand on a seashore. I hope to have an enviable home library soon. 3 Likes |

iamloyalty: I just finished a Hadley chase (Strictly for Cash) yesterday, the guy is a MASTER writer!! Gosh. Took about 2 weeks to read it but last few days I couldn't put it down till I finished. In my opinion, he beats Grisham and Sydney sheldon hands down. Besides fiction, I've read a few other books. The guy on Channels book club always ends the programme saying "One great book can change your life" I totally agree with him. 1 Like |

Snow84:Without bragging, I will say that I have read over 5000 novels since Jss1. It can even be more. I read at least a book a week. Sometimes as much as 3 books. I stay up nights to read novels. I read in the toilet and I read when eating. Terrible habit..lol but I am officially addicted to books. I don't read love/romance books.. My latest book crush is Clive cussler but alas I have read all his books.. I have given so many books away,I remember I once had an agreement with a book seller to exchange 3 books for 1 new one. I went with 60 books and came back with 12 books...lol. I don't read books online, I prefer hardback. Anyone interested in having a couple of books can DM me. I will be in Lagos 1st or 2 nd week. Lagos residents only. Accra residents too. Anyone interested in getting free books, pls pm me. I have made random friends cos I see them reading books.I can get down from a car/bus before my bus stop cos I saw a book stand. Growing up ,mum used to beat me for reading novels too much!!! Lol.. I was always curled up reading. My bro was also addicted. I remember mum banging on the toilet door and screaming for whoever was in there to bring out that book..lol I even took novels to church on Sunday and pretended I was reading the bible. My first boyfriend bought me a mag and s novel..lol I always create time to read a book. I always buy my books. Is there any ADDICTED bookie out there? 6 Likes |

happyheart: Wow, that's strange that your mom didn't encourage your reading. Mine loved it because it meant I'd be home & not running the streets. We even went together to apply for a library card because they needed a parent's consent & signature. For a few years I stayed with my sister, she knew if I wasn't at home, I was at the library. Now she's trying to force her daughter to be just like how I was growing up. But it doesn't work that way. Either you love reading or you don't. You can't make a person want to read if that's not their thing. It's just how you're created, I guess. Good to know you're still passionate about it though 1 Like |

I used to buy paperback, then ebooks (specifically epub) happened in my life. I need African writers ebook collections. I miss them. I only have a few of them amongst the myriads of ebooks I have. Preferably epub, though I can also read pdf. |
Re: Number Of Novels I Read, And The Number Bought With My Money by DesChyko: 10:47am On Apr 11, 2017 |
happyheart: Aldiko. But I downloaded the books from a site I've been struggling to locate again. I see you're a Clive Cussler fan.. Other than Dirk Pitt series, any other books? Here's a view of some of them in my collection.
