According to a post in Seth’s Blog (Seth Godin) “the typical American buys precisely one book a year. Of course, this isn’t true, because when it comes to books, there is no typical American. There are a lot of Americans who buy zero books for pleasure each year.” And then there are people like me who can’t walk past a bookstore nor stick to my New Year’s resolution NOT to buy any more books due to limited financial resources.

I’m an avid reader. I use the local public library, trade books with friends, and support the local used book stores and local book sale fund raisers. I’m also a book collector. If I buy a new book I generally keep it. Paperbacks – I’ll trade or swap but not hardbacks. There is something about a hard back book that appeals to me.

So Seth’s post inspired me to keep track of the titles and number of books that I read. it should prove interesting to see my eclectic taste in reading material.
