About my libraryThese are most of the books and comic books I own.
I also own lots of single issue comics, and I haven't started looking at the task of listing those yet...
To list all the books I have read is probably an impossible task by now - I have been a frequent customer at my local libraries over the years - but I'll give it a try with the new collection tools.
There are many books in my personal library that I have not read yet - and surely quite a few I will never get around to read, though I hope I have many years left in which to try.
However, there are millions of people writing books out there, and it is impossible for one man to read everything. This is a melancholy, sobering yet uplifting realization.
