That's a lot. I wish I read that much.

Sometimes I read a book that quickly if I get so into it that I can't put it down. But usually it takes me about a week to read a book.

Can't say much, since school takes up so much of my time so yeah ..

But from the beginning of 2008, I've read maybe about 6 I think *-)

I usually read about one a month, two at a push. I wish I had time to read more, but it's pretty difficult fitting it in with everything else!

I'm a slow reader. I'm usually in a book for 3 weeks. And those aren't thick ones. It does give me time to enjoy that world though. And since I don't read multiple books at one time, I don't read to many books per year.

Usually about 30-35. I am trying for 50 this year. I might make it, I'm over half way there. I started listing them years ago. So far I'm somewhere north of 900 read.

I can naturally read quite fast without losing accuracy, so I can read any book in about a day. I don't set quotas for myself, just read what's available. If I don't have anything new, I just choose a book I've read and start at random.
