As for me:

  • As of this year, I no longer need to consider reading these three, having recently finished Finnegans Wake as my 'big read' this year. Proust was last year and War and Peace the year before.

  • Non fiction - probably fewer titles, and correspondingly less actually retained.

  • Unread books - well my physical shelves are still around 50% unread YET, but I have read a couple thus year that have been on those shelves for over a decade. I am reading more than I add to them these days.

  • Loans. Nope. I learned that lesson a very long time back. I don't know anyone who does lend books these days. Give them, yes, but not expecting them back.

  • Audiobooks - it is vary rare that I actually fall asleep, I can say that.

Man wait until I show off my collection of read books for the year. I am lucky to have a job that allowse to read during down time and I read a lot this year. And not even including audio books I listen to while commuting but maybe I should.
