Books In A Life

[poliphilo]

How many books can you read in a single lifetime? Christopher Howse (writing in the Telegraph) has been doing some calculations. If you reckon on a book a week (which seems reasonable) a person who lives to be 80 wil achieve a total of 4160. It's not many, is it?

All I can say is, choose well.

Life here at my mother's involves a lot of sitting around so I'm reading a lot. I reckon I get through a couple of books a week.
