I read a lot. Probably about 80 books per year. Always physical books rather than on a e-reader.
It used to be mainly fiction but now I would estimate 75% non-fiction. History, biographies, popular science, and other genres.
I still read fiction for enjoyment between the more serious or mind-expanding books. One of my favourite reads recently has been the Bernie Gunther series by the late Philip Kerr. Philip Kerr | author of more than 30 books Wonderful writing and a great antihero figure.
Once I start a book I hardly ever give up before reaching the end. But I am in a very long hiatus from "The Bear Comes Home" The Bear Comes Home - Wikipedia which is about a saxophone-playing bear and features many real jazz figures.
I don't mind buying and reading secondhand books but have a real problem with getting rid of any books once I have read them.
