My vote was for 100000! Because I think we retain new things everyday of our life and besides who knows what size book you are speaking of.. But "the mind is a terrible thing to waste!" I think we have and endless capacity to learn so That was my opinion!

The notion is largely meaningless since the brain is not a lossless memory system.  The brain can store some information about a lot of books, but it will also forget a lot about each of those books yet, importantly, it will remember the gist of them all.  It is the brains ability to forget that which is not important which is the key to being able to remember so much that is important (most of the time).
