Post by Marie9609 » 07 Jul 2012, 10:32

I read like 1 or 2 books a month (I am a slow reader) but my friends can read like 20 books so.... i don't know if I am REALLY slow or are they really fast

I average 4 a week. Non-fiction and fiction.

I read 2-3 a week, so...12-15 a month. There are always exceptions. In January I read 16 books: in April, just nine. I have the same problem with reading as I do with eating....I dig in with such gusto that I "eat" too quickly!

Shouldn't this be in Off-Topics? There is already a similar thread.....

There is no pattern to my reading. Depending on my mood, how busy I am, what book Im reading etc I can read 3 books a month or 1 book every 3 months! It really depends on a lot of things. At the moment Im averaging about 2 a month.
