No, I haven't read all of them, 1/4 at most. I've been too lazy to buy books in the past few years so I just read ebooks when I want something new.

Let's say you were able to read well enough to read books on your own at 6. That means you claim to have read 79 books per year or one book every 4 1/2 day since you were 6.

You are full of shit. But even if you weren't you'd still have to be an idiot that doesn't mentally process what he's reading at all.

Never counted, I'd estimate probably about 200 physical books.

0 physical books, probably like 5000 digital books, hundreds of thousands if I count the bulk torrents I've downloaded because of digital hoarding. I bought a very nice computer monitor and office chair and reading on my monitor just feels super easy. Reading with a physical book in my hand is inconvenient and strains the wrists unnecessarily. Plus I made a pact with myself after tossing out thousands of dollars of dvds, VHSs, and old video games to never buy media again.

Last thing I read was Faust part 1 and I have to say it bothered me a lot how Faust turned into a pedophile coomer and destroyed a girl's life. Fuck that guy
