how many books do u read per month on average?

I feel better when I found this post. Know why? It looks good there are still people on earth who have good reading habits. I feel that this great habit is becoming lesser and lesser with people due to such fast world where there's no time to read. A person owns a habit in his or her childhood generally. But, now-a-days in such a competetive world every parents want to make their child a master-in-all. This leave them in a situation, where there's no time to relax. Again, today's children are more attracted to visual aids, they prefer to watch a 2 and half hour Harry Potter movie rather than spending hours to read it. But this doesnt let their imaginationto bloom. Personally, being a great fan of reading books, still I can read only 1or two books per month. Blame it on my jobs

You have a good habit,i wasn't.Everytime i read the book,i will be sleepy,because i don't like reading book.Now for my future i insist on reading,i know reading more books will increase knowledge.

Maybe it's because you are a bookworm or is someone who have the time to read all of them. I'm not much of a bookworm but there are times when I read a lot too, most especially if it's pertaining my field of work and interest. At one time, because of research etc. I had come to read around 4-5 books in a month cover to cover. But usually though, I could scan a lot of books but not really read them thoroughly, more of reference books. I guess it really depends though, if you're talking about fiction or stories then maybe there would be a lot but if it's pertaining to subject, I doubt you'd read cover to cover :) could you read an encyclopedia cover to cover? I doubt it. Novels, stories, fictions, romance and etc. I could read a lot. But I could say I've outgrown those stuff. Now I'm into more deep stuff like psychology, sciences and the like. Mostly serious books. :) Well, it's not always a fun read but at least I get to learn a lot. And by the way, with the internet age, I hardly would lift a book to research, I'm more of an internet user for information, unless I'm dissatisfied of what I find, I'd stick to the internet. I even go for e-books now for leisure reading. =)

It depends. Sometimes, I don't read any at all, but I have the occasional craze where I'll finish two or three books a day for a couple of months. I'm in a bit of a slump, reading about one every week, but that just gives me more time to mylot!

I usually only read 4 books a month. I don't have a lot of time to read, so it takes me longer. I do enjoy reading though. Its something I have grown up with. I remember as a child going to the library and loving it and I still do! thanks for asking.

Wow...its far better than I did. I have a lot of books but only some of them that I have read. I choose the easiest book to read..and left the others for another time, but the result is that I never touch them...Having read the discussion, reminds me that I have many books to read..thank you.

It depends.Since now I have two little ones and I do my work at home sites I dont have as much time to read as I used to.I read about 2 books a month but if I wasnt so busy I could read about probably 8 a month.I used to read about 10 books a week when I used to be in High school.

I can usually get through three per month, depending on what else is going on in my life at the time. Sometimes, I have a little more free times than others. I really love to read and so so at night while the rest of my family is watching tv.

That's awesome and great to hear. I really think that if everyone was to read more than we would be more knowledgeable about the world and open-minded when it comes to new things. I used to read that many books a month when I was working as a customer service agent, because all I did was sit in a cubicle all day taking calls. Now that I'm a student and work part time as a substitute, all I have time for is school stuff. I do have some time in between semesters sometimes and I try to read as much as I can then.
