I probably read a book a week, plus some magazines. I tend to grab new non-fiction at the library, before it disappears into the stacks.

I probably read a book every week or two... So maybe 40-50 per year. There's always a mix, though... I re-read the LOTR trilogy once every year, which takes a few weeks, but I also read some youth lit that only takes a couple of days. On a business trip I might finish five books in as many days.

I have been reading since I was little, but only in the last few years did I decide to actually keep track of how many books I read.
2010- 34 books
2011- 33 books
2012- 22 books
2013 - 4 books.

I am not liking the last number. i started reading more magazines than books. But I am going to get back into reading books, seeing how my list is getting out of hand. I think my goal for 2014 will be 50 books.

I average about two a week. So, probably around 100.

Hmmm, the standard is 20 books. Sometimes it's less, sometimes more, but I'd say that most years are 20-book years
I read, therefore I am.

It varies depending on how busy I get, but I try to read as much as I can. At least around 30-50 pages a day.

I read at least one per month. On average, however, I'd say about two per month. More time permitting.

It depends if I establish a goal at the beginning of the year. Last year, I didn't set up a goal, so I only read around 50, but this year I set the bar at 200, and I'm halfway through to book number 200 and it's not even December yet, plus I still have a lot of books in line to read.

Before going to uni I wasn't really reading much, but now I read at least 30 books per year. This year I set my goal at 50. I wanted to read 100 but realised I have other things to do besides reading.

now that I am apart of this community here, I am trying to read at least 300 books a year, because a lot of you encourage me to do so
