How many books have you actually completed this year?

[MrSoundAndVision]

Be honest, remember if you lie about it, it only reflects self-delusion!

1. I go through at least a book a week

helps to take mass transit, although I have seen people read while driving.

[Guaranteed]

2. I don't think I've read a single book through to the end this year.

I spend all my time reading on the Internet, now.

I HAVE started a couple of books, like Lying Liars, but never finished.

[Guaranteed]

3. You know, what, nevermind.

I finished one book earlier in the year- Norman Mailer's "The Naked and the Dead." Pretty damned good, loved the characters, but was disappointed with the ending.

4. I'm writing as fast as I can!

Gimme a break! It might be completed by the end of the year.

Why do you hound me so?!? :silly:

5. I read so many articles linked from DU/Buzzflash my leisure reading is

almost zero these days. But, I did finish Eric Alterman's "What Liberal Media" and started Conason's new book, and have read quite a few old Agatha Christie mysteries. Not time between work and this to do much else.

6. What, read, written or published?

Read: 2 or 3 a week, making it... hang on ("math is hard!") between 100 & 150

Written: 0

Published: 1 (Ok, it's actually a weekly calendar, but it's a book too. http://writersweek.com)

7. In the 1-5 range

I think about three or four. Right now, I'm reading What Liberal Media and taking a while - it's the kind of book I'm very interested in, but want to absorb. I think I'm that way with political books in general. Am quickest on the Harry Potter and John Grisham books.

8. Generally about 1 book every day or two

Depends on how busy I am. Hmmm, looking across the desk, seems that I've finished 4 since Saturday... I read pretty quickly :-)

9. several hundred...

Obviously,I need to get out more!:)

[mitchum]

10. 5-6 a week...

around 300 this year. I don't watch television (and I can't be high all of the time)

[CSI Willows]

11. Way more than 20...

...and I've spent tons of money too.

12. Read: about 26 -- 1/3 for pleasure; 2/3 "required reading" for freelance

assignments.

Wrote: None, alas, although I'm up to chapter 3 in two book projects.

Published: Hopefully a SF anthology I edited will be coming out in
electronic format yet this year.
