[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea. I don't count them, they are not trophies or things to brag about. They're books FFS.[/quote]

I imagine a lot of people, myself included, count them as a way to keep track of what they’ve read over the years. I keep a yearly list in my notes app - title, author, date finished. [/quote]

Are you officially on the spectrum, because counting / listing is a trait. I do list things a lot, but I don't count.[/quote]

NP and I never listed or counted my books until I realized I was accidentally re-reading books not because I wanted to but because I lost track of what I’d actually read. Reading on a Kindle made it worse because for me it’s harder to remember titles and authors if I don’t see a physical book all the time while I’m reading it.

Once I started writing books down, I got curious about my pace. And then it became a habit and I couldn’t stop.

I read about a woman in her 80s or 90s who’s kept track of everything she’s read since maybe elementary school and I regret that my habit didn’t start far earlier in my life. It’s fun to see streaks and jags and trends, like my Orthodox Jewish romance phase or my tennis novel phase. [/quote]

That is an interesting answer, thank you.[/quote]
