The attached image is the number of books I have read this year with their page and audio length stats.

If you read audiobooks, ebooks, or library books, the satisfaction of owning tall stack of books that you have read will not be possible for you.

To help you with that, I wanted you know that I pulled a random foot of book shelf and added up the pages. There are 4336 pages in my random foot of paperbacks with one hard cover.

Now you could put together a spreadsheet that tells you how many audio weeks and shelf feet of books you have read without owning the physical books.

If there is interest in this, I could release a template.

There's a shit ton of variation...

I agree. I know it would be possible to make an average on something like an entire library, but I just used a random foot of books, a ruler, and a tape measure.

Does anyone know how to find and average number of pages in a foot or meter of bookshelf across a whole library, or library system?
