This is my first thread, so bear with me . So basically, how many books on average do you read? Monthly or yearly is fine. I try to read a book a week so usually I average four a month (sometimes more or less depending on the length of the books in question)

wow, happy first thread! I've thought about it and checked on my list, during the last year I've read about 64 books. This summer I used to bring books from library, everytime I went there I picked up 4 books and I returned them after a months or 3 weeks. So I can say I usually read a book a week.

I'm trying to read 52 books this year too. I'm at 15 so far, so a little ahead of the game, which will help when I tackle larger books - like Anna Karenina and David Copperfield.
I've read 49 books since I started keeping track, which was the end of July 2006.
My months fluctuate based on how busy I am. September 2006 was very high - 12 books, and December was incredibly low - 2 books.

I haven't been as busy as usual during the last year.. I could read less books when I used to have classes at uni 6 hours everyday, or when I used to have school (I always had so much homerwork and studying to do everyday!)...for years I mostly read during summer holidays.

I have a lot of law reading to do during university term so I can only manage 1 to 2 books a month during semester. When I'm on a break I can usually manage three or four. Obviously those numbers vary depending on the length of the book

It depends on my school work..but I read about 3 books a month. Sometimes more sometimes less, it all depends on school. I'm in my last semester and looking forward to the extra time.

I'm lucky if I can even read one book in a semester when I'm in school, but during breaks and summer I probably read about a book every 1-2 weeks. Since I graduated from college (a little over two years ago), I've read 50 books, but most of them were before I started law school. I really wish I could read more...

It mostly depends on how busy I am and which books (long, short) I'm reading, but I'd say in general I read about 6 books/month.

It depends a lot with me too, but I guess maybe 7 a month or so?

I usually read 3 books a month, depending on how much time I have and how interesting the book is

I usually try to read 4 books per month like most of you. But some months I manage 4 in a week and in other months I´m too busy or I read long classics that take me ages to get through.
