How many books do you read in a year? I got through jags where I might read three in a week, then not red one for a month. But overall, I'd say around 25.

I read at least 2 a week (I'm a VERY fast reader, if it's a good book), I'll knock off a little for downtime. I say, at least 95 a year.
I belong to the Read 50 books in a year group here on gather, so I am hoping that I will get to 50 or more.

Maybe 150-200. I like to read while doing my walking for exercise and if you are most of the way through a good book it's hard to stop reading just because the walk is over.
Marianne R. Aug 15, 2008, 8:19am EDT
Close to 50. In fact, I am in a group here at Gather - Read 50 books in a Year. I finished #29 last night.

If you just count novels, it's probably around 25, but I also read a lot of fact books, textbooks (yes, I enjoy reading them) or comic books, its well over 50.

around 25

If you include reading to the kids, I'd never be able to keep count...
Debra C. Aug 15, 2008, 8:54am EDT
For fun, I try to read two a week. For work, its two or three textbook-type a month. Thats 76 to 88.
Laura C. Aug 15, 2008, 10:24am EDT
Upwards of 100. I started keeping track within genres last year.
Vicky P. Aug 15, 2008, 11:14am EDT
I haven't been reading lately, need new glasses. Usually 10 to 20.
Hollie ~TNR Works~ Aug 15, 2008, 1:02pm EDT
About 100 if you count audio books. I LOVE to read.
Stacey (Jesus is coming soon! ) U. Aug 15, 2008, 2:37pm EDT
I'm afraid one, if any. I really need to get back into reading.
Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) Aug 15, 2008, 4:55pm EDT
I have no idea how many I read...but it is alot. than add in magazines, newspapers and online reading as well.
Amanda C. Aug 15, 2008, 5:01pm EDT
In school, many many many! But now, just reading for fun, I'd say 10-20 a year.
Rose S. Aug 15, 2008, 5:21pm EDT
20 to 30
J R B. Aug 15, 2008, 5:29pm EDT
30 to 36 books a year.
Leona Warren Aug 15, 2008, 8:14pm EDT
About 50 a year, I don't count, just read for fun and enlightenment.
Dagmara H. Aug 17, 2008, 3:10pm EDT
