How many books do you read annually?
I average about 4-5 books per month, not counting reference, ebooks or short stories I run across.
How many do you know/think you read?

I don't see why Mr Mason, or anyone else, should feel inadequate ... IMO it's about enjoying your reading, whether it's one book a year or 100 and not some kind of imaginary competition.
Now to get back to the pile on the floor looking at me accusingly

I'm attempting to step up my reading this year and go for a goal of 75 books by the end of December.
I think the competitive aspect of this is more about promoting literacy. It's a good thing.

I know what you mean. It took me ages to get even to mid way of 77 shadow street until I eventually gave it up as a bad job. But that was because I really wasn't enjoying it. But the books I'm reading now are ones I'm enjoying, they have a good story line but I'm still trying to get myself to read it, if I wasn't enjoying it I would chuck it and move to the next one....I think its probably because its a bit dark and morbid storyline and my brain is crying out for something lighter and funnycherrera wrote:RuqeeD, I noticed that when I read some books and my interest in the book is not what it usually is (77 Shadow Street) the book takes me longer. It took me a week to read that book and usually I'll breeze through something like that in a couple days.

TBR and Wishlist, so I think I'll aim for about 24 books this year, two per month with plenty of room to expand.
