This one is a little bit of a homework assignment. Look through your office and your home and find all the books that have a bookmark in them indicating you’re intending to finish that book one day. (If it’s just marking a spot you want to reference, that doesn’t count.)
My results: Home = 36, Work = 7
(I’ve been reorganizing my collection and decided to collect all the books I’m in the middle of onto a single shelf. Turns out I needed more than one.)

oh, good grief. You *would* post this in the middle of a research project, wouldn’t you?!
Holy cow! I try to limit myself, but I’m reading 7.
