Anecdote
Here's a list every book I've bought on Amazon, excluding those that were exclusively presents for other people. Note that these aren't the only books I've bought since I started with them (in November 1999), but they're fairly representative. I've not linked any of the books to their Amazon page, because it was a hard enough job getting all their titles in a reasonably consistent format (Amazon's data entry leaves much to be desired, especially insofar as manga is concerned). If you really want to know what book a title refers to, search.
There are 154 books listed in total (as of today — roughly one every 11 days). As a bonus, the 2 CDs and 5 computer games I've bought from Amazon appear at the end. Oh, and not all of them were bought for the reasons you might expect...
