How many books do you read a month?

I have a hard time finding English books here in Guatemala that aren´t too expensive (and few libraries!) so now I don´t read many books, maybe one or two a month. But back when I had access to a library, I would read between 50-60 a month.

I barely get to read one book a month let alone 50 or 60! I used to read 1 or 2 a month when I actually had the time to do so. Now I just read when I can.

Wow! You used to read between 50 and 60 a month? That is really impressive! That averages almost 2 a day lol. How on earth did you do that? I average between 2-4 books per month, depending on how much free time I have. It's just hard with having school and homework and working 2 jobs plus babysitting. I barely have time for reading, but when I do, it's very nice!

I am a really fast reader. Plus some of the books were how-to ones, which are easier to read. I would read during my commute to work, all day on weekends (this is before I had a family!), etc. Ahhhh, the good old days!

Last month I read 8. This month I read 2. It varies from month to month. I used to read more before I started back to school.

50-60 a month is a lot! ^_^ It depends what kind of book I'm reading, if it's novel, then I can finish a few in a day. But I usually only read novel when I'm in holiday. Usually I read some motivation or management books, they take me quite some time to read, and sometimes I'm just being lazy to read them. Perhaps 3-4 books per month. If you have difficulty in finding English books there, perhaps you can try to read online? or get some e-books to read? Good that you have the habit of reading. ^_^

I finish between 3 and 8. Depends on how much free time I have at work.

Hmm, it depends. I only get chance to read my book for half an hour a day durng my lunch break at work, so sometimes i might only get through 1-2 books a month. Other times if it's a shorter or easier to read book, i'll get through 4-5.

I read three to four books a month. Its different amount of pages for every book I read. Anywhere from 200 to 600 pages per book.

I can read 2-3 400+ page books a day without issue. Thats with having a toddler and dedicating time to him. Im just not online, As i rarely get outta the house to get books anymore, i do maybe 5 or so a month lol. Ive REALLY cut back on reading, and am limited to alot of toddler aged and fairy tale books.

I don't make my calcolations like that. :) If i realy like a book, i can read it in hours, 1 day or two. But i don't stop to read a book and star other right away. there is a space betwen them. so maybe 2 or 3 per month. it depends. ;)
