So I did the maths
Or actually it was arithmetic.
No trigonometry or calculus involved.
Anyway...
I worked out it would take me 17 years to read all the books I've bought but not got round to.
At the rate I read.
Not sure I've got that long!
That's assuming I don't buy any more.
I could work that out too at the rate I buy
But we're getting into maths territory now.
Anyway...
Want to buy some books?

A thought that I had at one time but have since given up on. Thanks but I have more books than I can handle now. A most identifiable read my friend
There's six bookcases in the picture...and another 12 in the rest of the house. Sigh. It's a mental illness really, we should start a support group!
Started years ago with the hundred greatest books series. Text books, various interest areas and on and on.
Thanks for the offer Gary but I have enough books to read.

It's a common mental illness it seems. Happy reading š
Jabberwocky, Iām going to plead the fifth on this one...especially if anyone asks about my Kindle. š¹š¤ššÆļøš¦āā¬
