Nighthawk76 · 03-18-2006, 01:29 AM

I try to read at least 40 books a year.

bad_boy · 03-18-2006, 01:31 AM

Wow! That's alot. I only read about one or two a year.

Jo_Luvs_Ketchup · 03-18-2006, 01:34 AM

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.

EmoJoe · 03-18-2006, 01:38 AM

barely any anymore

moeee · 03-18-2006, 01:42 AM

dawsongirl · 03-18-2006, 02:50 AM

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.

Cashodeen · 03-18-2006, 06:07 AM

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.

I write book reviews for a local paper, so I would have to say I read well over two hundred books a year!

Im a big deal · 03-18-2006, 09:53 AM

well for school, we had to read Animal Farm and the Odyssey for summer readin so thats 2. Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, a ton of short stories (in our stupid giant textbook that takes up like half my locker

)

and then there's the ones i read on my own....probably like 2 or 3 so that bring the total to...17 or 18 a year. most of its for school though.

staypuftman2004 · 03-18-2006, 11:42 AM

1-2 a year

Number 9 Dream · 03-18-2006, 11:54 AM

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.
