Here’s How Many Books You Can Expect to Read Before You Die

Life is too short to suffer through a book you just don’t like. For proof of that, Literary Hub has done some (slightly morbid) calculations regarding how many books you’ll be able to squeeze in during your remaining years on Earth.

The table below breaks down the number of books you’ll have time for if you maintain your current reading habits. Twenty-five-year-old women, for example, have 61 years left to live according to the Social Security Life Expectancy Calculator. Assuming they live that long, average readers in that group have 732 more books to read in their lifetimes. “Average” in this case means people who read 12 books per year. Lit Hub also crunched the numbers for voracious readers (50 books per year) and super readers (80 books per year). After pinpointing your maximum capacity, you may want to edit down your reading list to only include books you’re genuinely excited about.
