Hasn't everyone read over 100 books? Based on my bookshelves and the boxes under my bed, I've read quite a lot in my lifetime.
Last I counted (and I have) I've read 481 books. Working on 482 now. :)
but i mean in one month maybe less you guys done that?
Oh, a hundred books in one month? Good job, then, man. *Salutes*

They don't really count as books, you know.
People count how many books they've read? I don't keep track, but it's well over 100.
Hmm, I agree with Angelwing. I was not aware anyone kept track of how many books they have read. Although I am not saying it is a bad idea, but I'm sure you could easily lose track after a while.
I've only read like 20 books in my life time....excluding comics and children's literature.
unlike the rest of these contradictory douchebags (discouraging ignorance and stupidity in other threads, yet haranguing you for an educational accomplishment) I will say congratulations! Give you positive rep, and ask that you continue your reading venture. What was the best book you read?
Awesome. I didn't have anything to read for four months this year, and as soon as I got back to civilisation I dre I've ploughed my way through the following myself in the past week:

I'm sorry, my first thought was: Who the **** keeps track of the exact amount of books they read?
I read many books during a year. I don't remember half of them.
Also, I'm the fastest reader known to man besides that guy with autism. Your accomplishment is nothing to brag about. I'M AWESOME. EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION TO ME.
i dno how manny books i read but i kno its over 100
100 novels in a month?
You clearly have no life.
X what were those books called(like all of them like Mr Smiley and the rest), some shirts popped up in tahiti with those guys on them but I couldnt remember what they were from.
Mr Men.
I had to read certain books for school, much of them I do like. The most notable one I had to read for school was Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. Fantastic book. Another I enjoyed somewhat was The Crucible by Arthur Miller, as well as Death of a Salesman. Both of which are plays.
I can't remember a good book I read in school. It was a fairly old book, possibly written in the 20's or so. Anyways I can't remember the author or the title of the book. All I do remember is that the author was a lesbian.
We read Flowers for Algernon in shcool as well. Then after that we watched the movie.

Same here. Was it the 1968 Charly film?
Yep lol.
FFA is great, but have you read anything else by Keyes? I'd recommend The Touch.
