You know, the internet is preeeeetty  nice. I mean, it's a near unlimited cache of information for crying out loud! Of course, sturgeon's law is in full nelson here, so 90% of everything in it is absolute garbage. That being said, the remaining 10% is worth dying for.

So what does this whole thing have to do with books? Well, I took a quick trip to the black hole called TV tropes (don't judge me because of the "black hole" comment, it's pretty tame compared to the things they say about themselves) and I checked the Fanfic Recs page on a whim just to see how many made it to the list.

Needless to say, I turned away from it before losing my sanity to that eldritch mass of tropes.

Then I looked at the longest fanfics and I say this: What! The! #$&*! They're huge! Millions of words long! I kid you not!

Now, I'm not saying that fanfics are bad, but seriously now, couldn't you have written a book instead and sold it? *Cough* *Cough* Fifty Shades *Cough* *Cough* 

And then it got me thinking, "How many books HAVE I read?".

I have a boatload of books, some as e-books, most of them in paper, but I'd be lying if I said I've read them all. All in all, I'd say I read about 10% of all the books I have, and that's just my guess.

So, here's the question: Which many books have you read?

It's not limited to things like H.P. Lovecraft and J. R. R. Tolkien, you can include Japanese Light Novels like KnK The Garden Of Sinners, Fate/Zero or The Familiar of Zero (as long as it's the LN and not the anime, manga, movie or radio drama adaptation), or some other things...Homestuck doesn't count since it's more of an epic than a book.

Anyways, I'm sure it'll be a nice list, so share away!
