I'm sure that I've read quite a few of them (like Lord of the Rings, the John Carter of Mars series, and many of the Grisham and Agatha Christie and Asimov books) at least half a dozen times each.
Of the books on the following list that I've read, about half are volumes that I've read once, and the other half I've probably read about three times each on average. One of my problems is that once I read a book once, if I like it, I'll often read it again the following year. I'd guess that I've read a bit over eighty-five percent of them so far, so there are still sixty or seventy in the list below that are on my short-term "to read" list. I haven't read all of the books on the list below. There are a lot of notable omissions from this list that I actually do own at home in hard copy. Remember that the listing I paste here in a minute is just my electronic library. Agatha Christie, John Grisham, Sue Grafton) Science Fiction/Fantasy (more emphasis on the SF, ie.
In order, from the stuff I read the most to the least, they'd be: Most of what I read can be grouped into major categories. Of course, it's not as extensive as my paper library, but it's getting to be more comprehensive every week. I'm going to print a directory listing from that library in a minute, because I've been talking about books with a couple of people and this will be an easy way to share. My physical library at home is getting to be pretty big, but I've been trying to build an electronic library too. It's also good because I can keep a number of reference books on it that I don't refer to very often, but they're handy when I'm working on music or computer projects and I don't have internet access. Most of the time, I'd prefer a paper version of a book, but the e-book reader is handy to carry around when I'm travelling and I don't want to carry an armload of real books. I have a couple of e-book readers (the Nexus 7 is my preferred reader). But despite that, I'm not one of these pretentious people who completely eschews technology. I'm a huge fan of real, paper books that you can hold in your hand. I've done that countless numbers of times, and fairly often, I'll even start another book once the first one is finished. Some people think it's a problem when they pick up a book, and can't put it down, so they just keep reading until the middle of the night when they finish it. All of my life, I've been a pretty heavy reader.
