Take a great book to bed....

As Piers Morgan has managed to wring out of Liberal leader, Nick Clegg, the number of sexual partners he's had in a recent interview for GQ Mag, (between twenty and 30 if you're intersted) Tonbridge blog asks: Is it too personal a question to ask how many books have you read in your life!? I met a head teacher recently who confessed that he'd only read four in his life and one of them was a rugby player's biography! (He is Welsh, but still pretty poor for a school principal none-the-less.) Thinking about it maybe he had misunderstood the question, which would then make far more sense! I reckon that I've read less than 1,000 (novels that is) which for a book shop owner is not great. I've met some Tonbridge men who boast that they had the pleasure of over 9,000 in their lives; and women who boast as few as 120. But then men do tend to over claim and women to under play the number! How many books have you gone to bed with?...
