None. I don't read. No patience for it and I don't have the privacy you know? If I sit down and try to read, there's always something to distract me.

WOW! That's a lot of reading!

I love reading and I wish I could do more...but I probably read a book every two or three months. I'm always reading college texts though...but those aren't any fun.

I read about 6 or 7 books a month. I love to read... always have since I learned how to.
All different types of subjects- Seismology, Geology, Astronomy, Meteorology, Health, Hiking, Bicycling, '50s-'70s American cars, '50s/'60s music, Ghosts, the Afterlife, Bigfoot & other unsolved mysteries, Dinosaurs/Paleontology, some science fiction, some novels, some fiction mysteries, etc.
Sometimes when I walk into a library, I don't know what section to go to first.

Roughly zero. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

Around 40 books a year is pretty darn awesome. Unfortunately I do not have the love of literature to endure any voluntary book reading. I like to read science books, but you don't exactly read those from front to back, usually.

Sometimes less than zero? LOL, impressive.

Sadly, I don't read nearly as much as I'd like to-- maybe one or two books a year. Now that I've been going to college, the idea of reading for fun is sort of soured by the fact that I have to read so many boring school texts. I love reading, though, so I really want to get back in the habit. I'm probably going to re-read The Catcher in the Rye soon since it's one of my favorite books and I haven't read it in a long time.

I read about 50-65 books a year

Not including my text books for college.

I love reading.

I only read about three to four books a year. The internet has ruined me. I was getting books from the library up until six years ago. I always had a book going.

Now, with the internet, if something interests me, I read about it there. I never read fiction anyway, so I can find whatever I'm looking for online.

Still, I should read more books.

Uh huh. I have mastered the art of not reading.

I read a lot more reference books than anything else and I don't read the whole thing, just bits and piece of them. I don't read many fiction books so I don't know how many books I read but its not any spectacular number.

Good for you Book readers. It is great to read as many as you do. I would read more if I didn't have tv set, computer, radio. For the last 1 1/2 half hours I 've been sitting at the computer on this site. The only time I really love to read is when the electrical power goes out. I sit with a candle and read.

I usually read 1 a week, sometimes 2. I put a paperback in my purse so when
I have to wait somewhere, I have something to read.

I probably read a couple a year. Too many things distract me, and it takes me forever to read a book.
