That's a lot of books. If I counted right, I read 31 of them, and I own 30 of them. Of the books I own, I haven't read 10 of them (which means I read 11 of these books but don't own them). And one of the ones I own but don't count as "read" is Bryson's A SHORT HISTORY OF NEARLY EVERYTHING, which is the type of book that you can just read a chapter here and there, so I've read parts of it but never gotten through the whole thing...
Whatever...
