While I'm sure that I have read way more than 1000 books in my lifetime, just documenting that many and rating them, I think, is a great achievement. That's more books than a lot of people can claim that they have read.
Granted, a lot of people could look at the list of things I've rated and tell me that over 1/2 of them "aren't real books" because nearly 400 of them are graphic novels of some sort and about 100 of them are picture books. I say boo on them - they see me readin'; they hatin'.
Want to know why they be hatin' me? Check out this....
That's 116950 pages, guys. ( not counting the 17 audiobooks, I have listened to. )
Over 90% of the books on that list have been from 2010 up to today( that means I didn't get to 1000 just by listing ALL my required reading in school )
The 1000 doesn't include the 8 books I lost interest in halfway through or the 7 I've started reading but haven't finished yet.( all 1000 I have read from cover to cover )
Here's a list of the longest books I've read in the past 5 years :
In 2012, The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams , 815 pages
(1 book, all 5 in the series)
(1 book, all 5 in the series)
So far in 2013, Marvel Comics's XMEN: Age of Apocalypse collection , 1072 pages
I am awesome.
