I used to read atleast one book a week. That was when I had all the time for it. But, these days, with my full-time job taking many hours a day, I could not take the time for reading books. All I can do now is just browse through magazines and newspapers.

I don't even read one book per week these days. If I have a free day and I'm in the mood for reading I can read as much as 400 pages per day, but the thing is I don't really get those kind of days anymore. When I don't have the time, I'm thinking about all the nice things I'll be reading when I've finished my work, but then I always find something else to do. Mostly spending time online. I think the Internet is the biggest enemy of reading (books) and it does not offer half the satisfaction.

Some weeks I read too many books to count! But that's usually because I spend an hour or more a day reading to my kids and kids books are rather short. Though we are currently working on Harry Potter.

It really depends on the week and the book I am reading. If its something complex like right now I am reading The Metamorphosis ny Kafka. Its a litle more challenging that the last book I read Skin. But I.can finish 2 or 3 books a week.

I keep a list of the books I read over the whole year starting in Jan, I record the title, who it is by and the date I finished the book on. I also rate the book on a scale of 1 to 3. 1 being really good, 2 just good and 3 boring. I find because over the years I have read so many books that it is very hard to get a book that can be classed as a 1.
My aim every year is to read at least 52 books, I do it over the year rather than weekly because sometimes I have more time to read than others and sometimes I can read a book in two days and another time depending what I am doing it may take me a week to read one book.
Last year I actually read 64 books over the whole 12 months, am on target for this year as well so doing very well.
Hope this helps to answer your question.

I like the idea of listing down books that I read. I always do it at the start of the year but then I always end up not committing to it. Time availability is one of the reasons why I don't get to read lots of book anymore :(

I would say that I read more then that I usually read before I go to bed and I usually take a book with me to the dr office you can never tell how long you are going to wait it helps to past the time for me so yeah I read more then that maybe 4 books per week.

I have not read any book for quite a time already. I guess I am quite busy with my work that I do not have time any more to read books. I used to read a lot of books when I was still in college. May it be fiction books or those related to learning. I guess times have changed and lifestyles change. I though read some books but I hardly call them books since they are more of educational books needed for some projects that I do.

At the moment, it is term time for me which means that I can't read any fiction books because I just don't have the time to get into it. If I were to read one, it would take me weeks to finish it because I wouldn't be able to read for more than perhaps half an hour before bed each night. When it isn't term time, though, I tend to read one book per week. I have an e-reader, so I am able to just buy more books whenever I feel as though I would like a new one. It's great, as it means that I never have to go to the shops and I can literally read whatever I want and whenever I want to read it.

I am also an avid reader. I read about 2 or three novels per week as well. love fantasy and historical fiction. I also have set up a book review blog to keep track on books that I have read and to socialize with other book lovers.

I love reading books. But I didn't read books for a long time. I just read bits and pieces of words on the internet. This kind of reading makes me can not focus on one thing for long time. I prefer reading paper books. I feel peaceful when I read them.

I don't really like the idea of ebooks. I haven't one but have read you can't download cheap books onto them yet. I don't buy many books but go to the libaary alot. If I pay a book I like ot go to the discount book shops and buy a book for £1.99 as its cheap and I don't have alot of money ot spend on books.

I don't tend to read books. I only read maybe 1 or 2 a year. But it's mainly because I'm usually extremely busy. Back when I was much younger, I used to read a new novel every other day, so about 3-4 a week. But back then I had enough free time that I could pull that off, still have a social life, still get all my work done, and still have enough time to spend 2 hours on the computer each night. I have a lot more work now a days, so I've fallen behind on my reading quite a bit.

My husband doesn't read any more, he finds it hard to get his nose into a book.
I went a while without reading a proper book for myself and when I realised this fact I was totally shocked and decided ot do something about it as I used ot read at least one book a week etc so I decided to keep a list of what I read and made a goal to work towards. I'm so glad that I did as I really love reading and writing stories

I can 2-3 books some times more depending on how big the book is and how much time I have to read. I do read alot because it is something that I like it helps me relax and it is also a good stress reliever.
