I have about 6000 books, about 1000 of these are on Kindle.

Of the 6000, most have bookmarks. I read at least the first 50 pages of most of them. I've finished a couple hundred so far. I found my old business cards make perfect bookmarks.

I guess "No one buys books" isn't strictly true.

I tried to write 4 books. I was told that I'd likely sell less that 1000. Beyond that would be considered a major win. I finished one, published it, and have made about $500. It took me months to write.

I love books. I have a copy of "I, Robot" signed by Asimov. I really like books signed by authors.
