Thirty-five, not counting the ones that I started and didn't finish (an illustrious list including Lolita, Anna Karenina, and the Bible). :)
Sixty nine - I read more than I knit...but I knit aplenty.
Fifty-five, not counting the seven that I started and didn't finish for one reason or another (Confederacy of Dunces because really? I thought it was awful and ditto for Catcher in the Rye).
And there are at least fifteen in my bookshelves. One of these days....
