I voted too. I usually read about 6-7 books a month, but wish I could read more! :)

I read at least 10 a month. I love to read anything I can get my hands on. My library is my favorite place in the world. Next to this site I am still learning. :shock2:

Recently, I've been averaging 6 books a month, though before it was less. A lot of things have effected my ability to finish more books a month. The reading goal has made me more aware of how much I'm actually reading, I've been reading more diverse things, such as graphic novels and plays, which take less time for me to finish, and reading multiple books at once, which means I don't get bored and distracted.

It actually tends to vary. Sometimes I will only read around three in a month. Other times (like last month) I zoom through a good 12-14 books. It all depends on my free time during a week and how good the books are.

Usually, I would read one book a month or two months (depending on how long the book is)but lately, I have been losing a lot of that vitality to actually read. The book before the last book I read --> I had been reading it for about seven months straight and it wasn't even a huge book. Being a college freshman is a lot harder than I thought :( but I'm getting back that energy!

3-4 books is my range. Sometimes less, sometimes more depending on how busy I am.

Typically 4-5. Maybe more if they are shorter books. I would read all of the time if I could. I am starting a PhD program in the Fall, so I imagine that my reading for leisure will be severely limited after that.

I love to read and am quite speedy. My goal is average a book a day, unless I'm working/traveling more than normal, then it's 5 a week (so 20-30 a month). I've had the occasional dry spell where I've only read a handful, but I typically make my goal each month. I've been doing this for 3-4 years now and I really enjoy getting to read so many books. Often these are free books that I've (legally) downloaded, so there are definitely duds in there. But I've also found numerous gems as well!

Cannot believe how much some people read, I just don't have the time any more but I would say on average around 2 books a month but mostly 1 as I lose myself once I start getting into a good story.

I usually read 2 to 4 books per month. Four books per month if I have the time (during winter and summer break in college, for instance), and two books per month if I'm busy.

I try to read a book everyday or two at least. It depends how long the book is.
