I also keep track on Goodreads. I have been on there for about 4-5 years now and have 332 books marked as read. I'm sure I've read a few hundred before I started keeping track. I am essentially averaging 50-ish books a year nowadays but was much less than that while I was in university.

Ever since I can remember, I think I have read at least 300 books in the past 8 years or so. I got into reading avidly about 2 years ago, which really brought that number up since I read almost 130 books in 2015.

Woah... I don't even think I can begin to count! I started reading for pleasure when I was four. So... maybe I've read about 1200 by now? Yes, this is just a random number but I'm pretty sure I've read over 1000 books.

I have been reading books for over 20 years. I don`t know the exact number but i would guess i have read somewhere between a 1000 books and 1500 books.

I keep track of nearly all my reading using Goodreads. According to my "read" shelf, I'm at 665, but that is not including books I forgot to mark or books that I started and gave up on.

You guys are keeping track? I don't know how many I have read but probably in the mid two hundred level by now.

Wow! You are an inspiration. I only started this month and I think I’ve read 9 by now. I hope to also get to 300 like you! What is your current score?

I used to count when I was younger but right now, I just want to focus on reading as many books (online mostly) as I can get. This is the real beauty of reading for me.

How many books have you read since you can remember? do you guys keep a record?

I read 300 something, that's the much I remember recording :D
Lol, I don’t keep tab of books I have read. Since childhood we have been reading so it’s a lot to keep tab of. But I believe I have not read enough.

I actually don't know, but I'd put them around 200. I often don't record the books I read though, cause sometimes I don't finish some books, and I dislike having a list with incomplete books.

I wish I kept track. I've been reading since I was a child. My earliest memories had books in it. I even read newspapers as a child. So you can imagine how high my count would have been. Ah, too bad.
