How many bookcases are there in your home?

dougw

How often do you get a book from a bookcase in your home?

I like books, but they are definitely declining in my life. I seem to acquire a book, read it and then just store it, I don't tend to re-read them.

I have 11 bookcases with a total of 52 shelves, but only about half are used for books. It is not a pleasant thought to think I really don't need any bookcases.

I also do a lot of online reading and I have a kindle and a Kobo.

Have you gone paperless?

Have you switched entirely to video?

How many minutes a day do you listen to a radio?

How often do you touch your smart phone in a day?

Do you watch more video on your smart phone than your TV?

Do you have a landline?

Do you still read newspapers?

Does all your content now come from the Internet? 

My kids would answer all of these questions very differently from me.

I am trying to get some insight into how changing demographics will dictate what will be popular on this forum.

  • Vast majority of books are in my study on fixed shelves - sounds posh, but it’s really just a work room.  I like books and prefer reading the paper versions than electronic versions.  Text books I prefer electronic for searching.  Phone I use for testing and calling and occasionally email but little else - my eyes don’t really work with the small screen - so my iPad, a large Pro version, is used more for content consumption, including news.  My preference is my iMac with two large screens though.  Radio is on constantly but that’s really down to my wife as I tend to prefer peace and quiet but she can’t cope with that.  Often the radio will be on in the kitchen whilst she’s up in her sewing room (aka smallest bedroom) listening to music.
