yeah but they don't know that cause they didn't read all the information in the report , they just assumed cause they only got to the end of the first chapter that everyone else does the same and went to the off license for a 4 pack of larger. |

that's why libraries are such a good invention... i mean, sure, it's good to own some essential books that you really love or need, but for the rest, there's the public catalogue that everybody can use. It's a great thing! |

i wonder what percentage of this thrad has been read!? |
||||||||
|

what helps is bying books you really want to read. So think before buying, it helps me. I do the same with vynil now. And this saves me a lot of money! |

That's cuz everyone needs a present. Birthday, christmas, urine day, some of those gifts are books. no one wants to read that shit, bitch, shit. |

there's a difference between 'bying' and 'buying' |

HA! Awesome stat, whats the source ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's actually from a book i'm reading lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is it in the first chapter? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it sounds like a weird statistic tbh.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can easily believe it considering the number of unread books in view of me now |
||||||||
|
|

i believe it probably because people usually buy books on reccomendation instead of seeking them out on their own and trying a bunch out. i went through page 1 of neuromancer all the way to the end like a cruise missile,, where as in those Kovacs novels and Snow Crash it took me a little bit longer. "altered carbon" i didn't even finish, that book was just so boring. every sentence just so BORING tons of people reccomended me books by neale donald walsch over 2007-2008 and i hated that stuff. good message but pretty poorly written, i couldnt relate to it. then i got into u.g. krishnamurti and not only is that stuff freely availible but it's a lot better in my opinion.... |

It sounds like bullshit statistic. They probably count the first chapter as some sort of average percantage of the book, and count dictionaries, encyclopedias and other refference books as well. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
it's probably harder for you to believe because you're from denmark |
||||||||
|
|

Perhaps that is true. I just glanced at my shelves, and i could only spot 3 books that i had not read from cover to cover. Ofcourse there was only 5 to begin with. |

I have a fair few books on my shelves I haven't read. I'd say of all the books I've started I've finished about... 70%? I'm well pleased with myself for having finished Iain Banks' The Crow Road after buying it like six years ago, and ending up reading it over a mate's house. I'd say I only paid for about 10% of the last 20 books I've read too |

I always finish what I start. It's 'cos I'm a bad muthafucka. Stay in school. |
