I have never made it to read a hundred books in a year, but the years I came closest to it were 1991 (92 books), 1993 (63 books), 2000 (62 books) and 2006 (74 books).
About my library Anyone who is deprived of life's contingencies, that is, of the experience of the companionship of good books, cannot possess perfect judgement (even if this judgement is a natural gift). -- Vasari, The Lives of the Artists (1568)
