I can count on one hand the number of books that I've abandoned before the end. Often to my detriment, I'm loyal to a book.<br /><br />As for books with minimal amounts of words....yes, I do count those as well. For instance, so-called graphic novels (especially those from one of my favorite publishers, Fantagraphics Books). In the past year, I think there were one or two books which fell into this category.David Abramshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013514596973186440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407679229975998493.post-8811821939430894012011-01-03T20:04:29.546-07:002011-01-03T20:04:29.546-07:00Do you count books that you read part of, or books...Do you count books that you read part of, or books that don't have many words in them, like art books? My total this year was 50, with many more skimmed and perused, down a bit from 58 in 2009. But then I had to proofread my own darn book a few times this year. I have been keeping lists for a long time, too, and I can really picture the exact place and time where I read many of them when I look back at the list. I wish I'd kept one as a kid.Jenny Shankhttp://www.jennyshank.comnoreply@blogger.com
