I’m putting in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves for my living room today. I mostly read e-books on my Kindle, but I have an affection for old paperback pulp books from 60’s and 70’s.

So I go to ebay and buy “lots” of them fairly cheap, not caring about the titles. Sometimes 10 books at a time. Now that I’m retired I plan to read every single one, even the bad ones. I have the equivalent of a small home library of them now.

How many fiction books do you all read? E-book or paperback. But not interesting in audiobooks. I’m curious about physically-read books.

    Not considering audio books in the statistic is a little weird and comes off as attempted gatekeeping

    Nah, not meaning it to look like that. I just like picturing people sitting reading. I listen to audiobooks myself. But I like reading the words. So it was just my personal preference for the post, not a judgement on audiobooks.
