Since I  hit forty it is not unusual to read a whole book while sitting on the john. After injesting my morning oatmeal yesterday I read War and Peace on the pot. \nWhen I was younger I could  barely get through a gum wrapper and I was up and outta there.

Figures released this spring show that a new book of fiction is published in the United States every 30 minutes. Even if you don't count the titles published through print-on-demand and other fee-charging, vanity-press-type outfits, the total still comes to 10,000 books a year -- or one book published every hour or so. And that's just the fiction. \n\nThe statistics come from R. R. Bowker, the company that compiles the Books in Print database and assigns ISBN's (International Standard Book Numbers) to new books and editions. Every year, Andrew Grabois, Bowker's senior director of publisher relations, crunches the numbers this way and that, and this time around the killer figure is 175,000: the awe-inspiring total of new titles published in 2003, a jump of 19 percent over 2002. \n\nBy LAURA MILLER \nPublished: July 18, 2004

For me, it would depend on how engaging and interesting I found the subject matter.  I read the last two Harry Potter books both in one day.

NEVER! This year alone I've bought 8 or 9 books, can't recall. I'm currently reading 1 biography, 1 psychology, 1 marketing, and am always reading management books. I like many others enjoy the sanctity of a good read. Staying focused is so much easier with books - no message alerts, and you can turn the phone off. The Internet is a useful tool, but ultimately, books are a 'reality', something you can hold, see, and feel. You can also give them as gifts - the Internet, not quite, not yet anyway. Plus there'll be a load of librarians out of work without books. lol. One last thing, what happens when the power goes out? Technology stops, the sun comes up and there is light - the simple things are often the best. Cheers. L

How many words does each person speak in a day?\n\nSay two words a second. A Politician or businessman might speak for three hours a day, and halve that for the other person talking and you have the following......2x60x60x3 equals, say 20,000 divided by 2 is 10,000.\n\n \n\nSo we have ten thousand words a day for a talker. For a lonely Nepalese hill farmer without even an Ox to talk to, he might speak 500 words a day.  There are many more peasants than captains of industry so average it out at 1,500 words a day per person.\n\nMultiply 1,500 words a day by the number of  people, 2,000,000,000 and multiply that by the number of days in 1000years, say 350,000. \n\n \n\nSeems a bit complicated still does it? Alright do ‘rounding up and down’\n\nSay 1,000,000,000 people at 2,000 words per day, answer two thousand billion words, easy. Multiply that by the days, 350,000 rounded up to 500,000 because we rounded down the population pretty severely. \n\nNow 500,000 times two thousand billion. Easy again, halve the two to one and add six noughts......1,000,000,000,000,000\n\n \n\nOne million billion words have been uttered in the last thousand years. Approximately.\n\nYou don’t agree?  Didn’t take your wife into account?  Alright you work it out your way.

What is the longest book ever written in the world?\n\nLong long ago in a country far far away...\nDuring the Ming Dynasty  at least 3,000 scholars spent 4 years, beginning in 1403, to work on the Yongle Dadian, an encyclopedia with 11,095 volumes and 22,877 chapters.\n\nThere are an estimated 370 million Chinese characters used\n\nand great expections gets easier the more times you read it you may miss a alot if you don't read it again

Depending on how big the library is, there can be many. But the three basic sections are: Fiction, Non-fiction, and Reference. Those can then be within a more specific sections such as Children, Young Adults, and Adults. Then those areas (fiction, nonfiction, etc.) within the age section, may be split into more specifics like religion, self-help, biography, etc. Hope this helps. :)
