I have not read that many and though I am trying to read more (or faster) I know that I will likely be getting more books and I have no idea if I will ever catch up with my unread pile, as it keeps getting bigger and bigger.
I do love to read, though and I like a wide variety of reading material. As of today (7/14/08) I have copied most of my LibraryThing list to here. That list includes all the books in the house and I'm in the process of deleting those my son took and I'll probably delete some of the boring stuff my husband has. It's a long list and I need to double check some items. So far, though, someone in my family does own every book on the list.
When I'm not reading or playing on the computer (Playing recently being doing all kinds of household inventories), I like to garden. Occasionally, I'll watch TV with my husband. I like movies, but haven't been watching in a while. I also like to do cross stitch, quilting, and have a pile of sewing to be done.
I need 48 hour days, though I'm so disorganized that even then, I'd probably still be behind all the time.
NOTE: Most of the books on my shelf that are not marked as "I plan to read" or "I've read" are my husband's books. I may or may not read some of them. Others are books that have been given to me and I thought were interesting enough to keep, but who knows when I'll get to them. The rest are reference books or books that I have used as reference books, however the library might categorize them. (For example, although my mom might actually read a cookbook through, they are reference books for me and only those frequently consulted are considered "read." Anything used for research for a story or term paper is also reference unless I read the whole thing.)
"Books I am reading" are any books I started that I plan to finish, even if I haven't picked them up in a while.
