I have read what seems like thousands of books. The ones I am listing here are the ones I remember, for some reason, and the current ones that are in my brain now. I will add them as I recall them. I am all over the place when it comes to subject matter and reading choices. Whatever I am curious about, I pick up. No restrictions. It's all good.

I am retired, thus able to wallow in as many books as i like. I am an artist, currently working on a series of art which consumes me and provides an outlet for my obsessive need to make stuff.
I live in the inner city 9 months a year and by a northern lake in the summer where reading is my main activity. No internet, no tv. No distractions. Just art making, swimming, cooking and reading. Lots of reading.
I have a Nook, to use as an emergency back-up in case I am out of a book, but most of my books come from the library, either up north or in the city.
