I just wondered how many books people think they've actually read?

Less than 10?
More than 50?
More than a 100?

Thank you.
Way way more than 100, more possibly nearer 1000...but TBH now prefer e-books only cause I can stick it in my pocket....

I don't know, but I always have a book on the go. Cormac McCarthy: 'The Crossing' at the moment.

I write as well and am currently looking for an agent to represent me with a noir crime early 90s Tokyo trilogy I've written, the first of which has been professionally edited, although editing is easy enough to learn how to do.

Good luck with the agent/publisher, Nick.

Thanks Buxton and Spades. About as difficult as getting a recording contract, but it does happen.
