In a year, usually, how many books do you read?

Are you kidding? Until I was a teenager I would read about 100 books a year. I loved reading. Now that I'm older and my life is different, I still read about 40 books a year. I know a lot of people don't like to read, but if they found a subject they were crazy about, I think they could really get into it.

Hmmm...I'd have to count, but I'm reasonably sure I read at least twice that. It's hard to tell as I have several going at once, & I have all the free time in the world. (I know...you have my permission to be officially jealous... But then again, that will cease when I find a job!) Maggiepie "You can't fix stupid." ~ Source unknown (by me...anyone know?)

i don't know if i read as much as 25 books. but usually when i really like a book, i re-read it so i don't know if it only counts as one. i mean technically, it does but if i'm reading it then i'm eliminating the possibility of adding another book to my list. :)

That's funny because I can't imagine reading that FEW. I've read 115 books so far this year and I haven't slowed down yet. I'm an avid reader who always carries a book and is always reading something. On a bad week I usually only read one book, but on a good week I can read 5 or 6. And it's not like I don't have a life, I'm a really busy person! I read in my spare time, and sometimes I make spare time. I just love books!

I love books. I love reading. But I usually don't keep track of how much I read. I think I'm quite close to that average. But when I was younger, I usually read a different book every week. Now, since I'm quite busy with work, I read a book for almost two weeks depending on its quality and length I guess. If it's an exciting book I can finish it in a couple of days or so. But if it's not that good, it takes up weeks. I also see to it that I finish books I started reading.

I love reading books and since I live close to Indianapolis, this library is amazing it has like 6 stories of books, so I can read a lot of books a year. I usually end up reading 75 - 100 books a year.

The only way I can read a book in less than a month is if I find it very interesting, and there are not too many authors who can do that for me. Orson Scott Card is the current one that I can read in less than a week. J.R.R. Tolkien when I was an adolescent I went through like fire, but I don't have the same enthusiasm now. The Harry Potter books were about three weeks each. Probably sooner the first several installments.

I wish I read that much lately. These days doing 1 book a month seems quite lucky for me with how busy I have been. I think I do about 10 a year. It all comes down to how much time I have.

10, probably, this year. It depends on the year, really. I'm making an effort to read for fun daily. I used to read a lot more. I'd go through one relatively short (100-140 pgs) books a night in middle school. Longer books would obviously take more time.

For me, probably a little bit more. I usually have a book in my hand or in my bag which I read every time I have a free time. I usually finish one a week, but when I am really busy, longer. But there are books that I read and re-read over and over again, and so my number would go down. I love reading, and I do it every time I get a chance.

That is an interesting question. This year I have only been able to read about just slightly over a dozen books. Actually about a dozen, one per month. This has been a busy year and I have not been able to just sit down with a book and read it all of the way through. There are times where I take two or three weeks, with only one hour to read at night, and I am not a slow reader. There have been times where I have gotten to twenty five books however. Actually that is about the absolute maximum. Eighteen to twenty is about a good year for me, a really good year, and that is really pushing it. Most likely it falls around fifteen or sixteen. Then again it really depends on the year and the time and it really depends on time. Sometimes I do not have the time that I wish I had to read and this year has been a slow year.

I would say that I read one a week. This number is increased during the summer, when I am not working, and decreased during the other ten months. I love reading. I wish I could make a living reading books. I just finished my latest book(literally a half hour ago). I wish I had made a trip to the library so I could start my next one.

When I was younger I could easily read 25 books in a year. I love reading and have always been a fast reader! Now I don't have as much time to do that, but I really miss it. I find reading very relaxing.

Hi I read around 15-20 books a year,Most of my reading gets, while I travel the more business trips in an year the more books I read. I usually read life skill books, business magazines,personality development,business development etc.I am not interested in fiction,romance and thrillers. Happy reading

it really depends on the year. Some years I can read more books than the year before or the year after. I don't really know how many books I read every year. I don't really keep track of this.

I read more than that in one year. Mostly business books. They are like manuals to me. I read them for knowledge and business know-how. Aside from business books, I am now starting to read investment books especially in stocks investing.

LOL I used to read like 2 books cover-to-cover and like 4-5 books for school. But this year I think I only read 1 book lol..a recipe book.. So yeah I think reading 25 books in a year is crazy except if youre really a book lover or an author.
