You are both right. The original request was for % though.

15-20%, too many late 80's early 90's marvels that I'll never read.

[Mac Man]

Roughly...75-85%. I sometimes get to thinking I need to reread many though as I have probably read less than half of the books I own (i.e. read many of these when I was a kid, but haven't read my copies yet).

[OldGuy]

95%

[Tatterdamillion]

68.25% I read tons of books off the shelf but my main love is older books. I find DC silver age painful to read at times(especially superheroes). I kind of gave up reading them all because it felt like I wanted more from the writing so now each book represents some unknown quantity and that is something I can cherish. By the way Brave & the Bold 51 is an unbearable read. If you ever find yourself in hell and there are stacks of NM B&B 51's down there just know it is a trick and you are in the ironic punishment section of that there infernal placeI love the older stuff for the covers/history/nostalgia though they are older than me.

 

[ArAich]

Depends...if it's the original ArAich pedigree collection then the figure would be around 98%...if we're talking the complete collection including the culch I've purchased over the past few years then the figure would probably drop to around 50%...

[paperheart]

85-90%

[500Club]

95%

[piper]

95 to 100%

[davidpg]

85-90%

 

Same.

[Fazybones]

I would say I've read something like 50 to 60% of my approximately

1200 books to date.

 

Since my agreement with the Husband to buy less, I've been

reading at least 5 comic books a day and between these boards

and reading all the great comics I have left I've never enjoyed

the hobby more. (thumbs u

 

Great idea for a topic and was thinking of creating the same

thread since I'm reading a lot more than I'm buying.

[Calamerica]

100% of the Silver Age - when I was a boy for sure.

 

95% of the Golden Age

 

0% modern, 10% Bronze.

 

outside of the SA, the rest are guesstimations...

 

CAL

[shiverbones]

90-95%. I pretty much read everything I buy

[The Troll King]

Hmm.... some of my books I only read in trades like Vampirella for example. The magazine size is too delicate to fumble around with so I read the Vampirella Chronicles as they come out. I have read most of my Savage Sword of Conan mags though and I have about 75% of the run.

 

As far as non-magazine sized books I've probably read about 40% of them. I guess I'm weird because I'll collect a run and then just read it in a trade so as to not goof up the individual issues.

 

I read 100% of any moderns I buy though, otherwise I wouldn't buy them.

 

 

[JLA_ALL_THE_WAY]

pre-CGC...100%

 

post-slab era...12%
