Well, since I do have a problem affording that many books, I started reading my favourites time and again. There was one year where I actually recalled everything, and it was over fifty books I read that year - though not necessarily fifty different books.
Unfortunately, I don't have that much time for reading any more, and the time I have I spend reading fanfic (much cheaper!), offering feedback and, last but not least, writing some myself. But when I really get into a book, I literally devour it, close everything out (I'm just trying to train me out of that habit) and don't stop for anything but the very basic needs - or my daughter. She certainly knows how to get my attention while I'm reading!
