We're talking comics and graphic novel ...Yeah. We're talking comics and graphic novel count only. To be fair, I have read the majority of the comics, but the count doesn't include the manga I'm keeping or the comics/graphic novels/manga I'm planning on getting rid of. We won't even discuss the books.<br /><br />I've got books in the attic, in my bedroom, in Brianna's bedroom, in the library, in the living room and in the basement. Although, the books in the basement are books to get rid of. So, I guess I am talking about the books.<br /><br />I had an epiphany over Christmas break. At my current pace, I am not even reading one book a week. That is not even 26 books a year. I buy more than that in a year. And don't get me started on the ease of one-click Kindle purchasing. If you don't see the physical book, it's like you don't even have it and I generally spend $3.00 or less on the eBooks. So, it's almost like it's free.<br /><br />My age, my volume of books, especially that need to be read? You do the math. I can't bear to. I do have a book cataloging app for my iPad and I have been happily entering books into it. I just hope it doesn't have a count function. Because I would freak out.<br /><br />That being said, none of this deters me from buying new books.Bohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05116544104167420505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5979533387268460793.post-80714367011222207342015-01-22T17:09:20.622-05:002015-01-22T17:09:20.622-05:00You have 4,000 titles in your comic book/graphic n...You have 4,000 titles in your comic book/graphic novel collection? Major whoa! I think I have about a dozen, half of them gifts from you. :)<br /><br />I've never counted my book collection and keep it scattered over several rooms because I'm a little afraid to know how many unread books I actually own. If I knew an exact number, I might curl up into a ball and silently sob at the impossibility of reading them all. Yep, denial isn't just a river in Egypt! ha!<br /><br />Hope you enjoy Oblivion when it finally comes out!Alexia561https://www.blogger.com/profile/10797515620050469395noreply@blogger.com
