The attached image is the number of books I have read this year with their page and audio length stats.
If you read audiobooks, ebooks, or library books, the satisfaction of owning tall stack of books that you have read will not be possible for you.
To help you with that, I wanted you know that I pulled a random foot of book shelf and added up the pages. There are 4336 pages in my random foot of paperbacks with one hard cover.
Now you could put together a spreadsheet that tells you how many audio weeks and shelf feet of books you have read without owning the physical books.
If there is interest in this, I could release a template.
What a ridiculous way to measure books, I love it.
Grabbed the last 12 inches of (physical) books I read and added em up. Mix of very recent and older books (much thinner pages and smaller type/font), and now I want to see how much difference those variations make when comparing different stacks of books, but goddammit I know I had other things I was gonna do today
