I keep no book in my bookshelf that I haven’t read but most of them are Jane Austen’s 6 books and P&P sequels
I have all of Austen’s books and MANY adaptations, variations, and sequels. When I retired recently from teaching, I gave away hundreds of books, and I had read everyone of them. I read an average of 3 books per week. I can give away a book, but I cannot throw one away.
