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).

Most of my buying is the secondhand stalls in the dealers room (Brian knows me all too well). There are very few 'must buy new' writers or series these days.
