Tsundoku Arithmetic

Jabberwocky

 

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.

          It's a common mental illness it seems. Happy reading 😁

          Jabberwocky, I’m going to plead the fifth on this one...especially if anyone asks about my Kindle. šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸ™šŸ•ÆļøšŸ¦ā€ā¬›
