Congratulations! An inspiration to us all :)
I've just joined this group. Last year I read over 14,000 pages (60 books).
D! 14,000, that's amazing.The annoying thing is that I once went on a speed-reading course. I remember doing well and thinking this was a time-saver that would last a lifetime. Huh! It's great for business things but with well-written books I prefer to savour, not quite every word, but at least to grasp the plot and enjoy the characters and good turns of phrase and the rhythm, etc. Hence I never get to read hardly any books at all! Daft.
