About how many books would you say you read per year? Not counting school/work readings, only pleasure readings. I'd say I read about 25 full-length novels per year, plus a bunch of short stories in between. I love reading

Kay ... If I had it my way and had a job (or was within good distance of a really nice library) I'd read about one book a week. One every three, at most. I love to read. I feel guilty when I don't read anything for awhile.
But as things are now, I only get down about 15 or so a year. xP
I really dislike series of books that have like 4-12 in the series. Hate that. My favorite is to find one 500+ that stands alone, or maybe with a companion or sequel book at best.

Oh I honestly don't know..
But taking a guess, I'd say I'm in the 31+ range. I always have a book next to my computer, I usually end up reading about 3 a week, sometimes more, sometimes less. Then, I always take a book with me to go when I've got a long wait..be it dinner or waiting for sugery.

I'm saying 31+ a year, though this year... i have read about (if not over) 130-150 full size novels... i don't mean kiddy books that are like 50 pages long xD It takes me on average a day and a half usually (not nonestop coz i do other things in the day too, i only read in the afternoon and night) but sometimes it takes longer... like if i start reading something else in between (like atm I'm reading 3 different books xD) or if I'm not really into the book...
I love the library its like my second home... i take between 5-10(at the moment i have 6) books out a week... then i have a bookshelf thats so jam-packed with the novels... which are the ones that i love and re-read often...
But if you added manga into the mix... then we are nearing 800-1000, but they are so easy to read fast you can read a 24 book series in a day xD

Err... I read about 2 books a week since I live near a library and maybe more if I get through all my holds pretty fast lol.
So uhhh... 2+ x 52 weeks per year? D: That's a buttload, so I will go with that answer.

I feel bad, I only go through about 16-20 books a year because I just don't have the time to read anymore ;__;

Up untill recently my awnser would have been 1-4, because of the weight of the books I read and my unability to carry them for long in my hands. It really really hurts, to hold a 400+ page book for long, let's just keep it to that.
Since two weeks I got a digital reader, and wow reading never been so light or easy on me. I already read 3 books and working my way trough number 4.
I've gone with the 31+ option since I always loved to read loads of books untill my body started to protest and it became hard. Plus I'm reading like a maniac right now to make up all the lost time.

Easily 31+, though my numbers have dropped significantly since I started focusing on the book.

Definitely 31+. Reading is...the best thing ever. <3 I read constantly, and not just short little books either; I love long books. In my opinion, they're better than short ones because you get to know the characters better, and the situation, and it makes the whole thing just...better. x3
