How many books, on average, do you read in a year?

[mvd]

I'd say I read about 5. It would be more, but I'm generally a slow reader.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. About 50 or so.

[mvd]

2. What are you currently reading?

I'm still reading Gore's The Assault On Reason. Not sure I agree with him on the cause of 9/11, but the rest of the book makes great points.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

11. That's actually on my list.

Though I just finished Maxed Out (about the CC industry), Time Out of Joint (Philip K. Dick), and Shutter Island (Dennis Lehane).

Right now, I'm reading Walter Mosley's "Bad Boy Brawly Brown."

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. thats virgin to you!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

12. Yes, you and the girl.

:rofl:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

14. lesbianism almost as holy as virginity.

:rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. Then I must pray to it.

:rofl:

[terrya]

3. About 50 per year

Thereabouts.

[bleedingheart]

4. I read for my own pleasure, I also read to my kids

so I read a lot

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. I've never really thought to count, but probably 2-3 a week, so more than 100

Some weeks I read more (especially if I'm reading a lot of thin books), some weeks less (depending on vacation and/or book size and/or workload), but I imagine I average between 2 and 3 a week.

[sagetea]

7. 100 definitely more..

I am addicted to reading, I am never without a book!!!

[mitchum]

8. 250 - 300

I'm a reading geek

[BrotherBuzz]

18. I read that much until I was introduced to the computers and the internets

Today, I read about 30-40 a year, mostly fiction.

[Greyskye]

13. 100+

I always have at a minimum 1-3 books going at any one time. Reading is my addiction. I also read daily with my 9 year old son.

[mvd]

20. If I read as much as I listen to music, I'd be that high

LOL. But seriously, books are close to music for me in terms of enjoyment.

[Greyskye]

24. does it count that I often have music playing as I read?

:D

[mvd]

26. Hehe

Sure. :-)

[Q3JR4]

16. I've read 6 in the last week...

Four weeks in a month and then 12 months...carry the 9...yeah, over 100 a year.

[YankeyMCC]

17. A couple dozen

I usually have two books going at the same time, one fiction one non-fiction.

But some of the fiction are re-reads of old favorites.

[Aristus]

19. Well, i read an average of 5 or 6 books a week.

So that puts me between 250 and 300 books a year. I'm counting re-reads, though. Does that matter?

[bikebloke]

21. Roughly 100

Way back in 1975, I started writing the titles down out of curiosity, with a little rating. (yeah, I know it's my dumb guilty secret - luckily, I'm the only one who knows;-)) It's interesting to see how my tastes have changed.

[ceile]

22. I need to recommend my brother do that.

He reads a lot of crime/thriller fiction and science fiction, and at least 2x a month I hear "crap! I've already read this!"

[cynatnite]

23. I have a friend who has done that...

since she graduated college. She's got a stack of notebooks filled with what she's read over the years. She won't let me sneak a peak at any of them.

I read a lot, but it's never occured to me to make a list.

[Broken_Hero]

25. between 10-19...

sometimes more, sometimes less....:D

[stuntcat]

27. just 6-9 I think

I'm glad every day to even be able to read, so I'm happy with myself for finishing them even when it takes me a month :headbang:

[yellowdogintexas]

28. I used to keep lists of the books I read, quit doing it for some reason

but I average a book a week. I have 9 hours in which I can't read, because I am at work or in the car, but I get 30 minutes a day on treadmill, and then I sometimes read at home at night or on the weekend. But I do a lot of this and play video games, and cook, and shop, and go to church.

[femmocrat]

29. I read 5 or 6 over summer break, but fewer during the school year.

Just too tired at night and too much to do. So, I checked 6-9. Non-fiction takes longer to read, though.

[DarkTirade]

30. Do repeats count?

I haven't had a chance to get to the library for a while, so I've just been rereading the books on my shelves the last year or so. Still, I read damn fast and I read before I go to bed every night... so if repeats count, probably up in the 100+ range. If not, then it's more like the 40-50 range.

[BlueIris]

31. Geeze, I feel like such a slacker. I'm only in the 20-30 range.

:shrug:
