were_gopher | A scary statistic

The average British household has 138 volumes on its shelves, less than half of which have been read

I think that's the size of the stack of 'read then chuck back in the charity box' stack by my bed. This is apart from the 'read and keep stack' across the room (5 of the large cloth bags with stick handles + 3 folding crates).

Someone has to skew the figures to balance out all those houses with fewer than 10 books... ;)

Yes, well, you've seen my librarything,(must get the non SF in there).
