How Many Books is Everyone Reading?

[bakimono13]

I'm actually reading my first book choice. I'm currntly reading "When No oNe Else Believe". I'm on it's 35% of the book. I am planning to give a review to this book but I have to finish the first book I downloaded to do a review. Haha

I aim for about one book a week. WIth online book review, amazon unlimited, etc. I can get books so quickly. That helps with having more time to read.

I have a hard time meeting my reading goals. I have a tendency to buy a book and then never get to read it because life happens. There is just not enough hours in the day for me. Hoping to change this.

I read around 4 to 5 books every month.

When I start a book, I try to give myself about a week to finish it. However, if I am really sucked in, I end up finishing the book within a couple days. I try to shoot for a couple books a month, but am feeling more towards 4 a month.

I'm sort of a crazy person, so I may read up to 3 books simultaneously.. I think it stems from me usually not having time to read so I jump from book to book taking bits of each (this is usually with non-fiction, though). The short answer is I read 3+ books a month depending on my schedule

I usually read 4-5 books a week. There's a graphic novel for an hour of visual pleasure, a book related to my job interests (art, antiques, and appraisal theory), one by the bedside, and one in my travel bag for those spare moments.

While this may pale in comparison to your previous reading levels...I heard a very interesting statistic about a month ago, saying that for each minute you read a day, you will end up reading that many books per year! So, even 15 minutes a day will result in completing about 15 books per year. Something to ponder, at least! Are you a Kindle/e-book reader more so than a print book reader? Personally, I prefer print books, but haven't certainly began to look into e-readers!

I used to read only print books but accumulated hundreds of them over the years and simply ran out of space. I kept my favorites, sold or donated the rest and now I'm strictly a Kindle reader.

I read 1 to 2 a week, but I read while watchingTV. Hubby likes some showsI don;t so I sit with him while he watches and read instead.

[ianbuchanan]

I usually read about 2 books a week, although this number increases if I get really attached to a certain author or series.

Impressive! What do you primarily like to read?

[ianbuchanan]

Yes, 4 others.

Hyperspace by Michio Kaku
The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
And a reread of the 4th Harry Potter

All of which have clicked, except perhaps The Gargoyle, though I'm determined to give it a good try.
I wish I could blame my books, but it's likely just my brain telling me I need a break.

Thanks for sharing! I'll keep those in mind! What's been your favorite so far?

Oh dear...
I'm no good at favorites.

Hyperspace is a non-fiction, physics book, though by one of my favorite people.
And I always enjoy Harry Potter.
Neverwhere is right up my alley, being at least part portal fantasy.

All very enjoyable, in their own way.

Harry Potter, as crazy as it may seem, is a series I've yet to read! I know I probably will someday just because it is so iconic.

[ianbuchanan]

I have two books going now

Awesome! What are you reading at the moment?

[ianbuchanan]

At one point I thought that you could never have too many books, I have a lot of physical books as well as ebooks.
There are so many places to get free ebooks. I look at the deals offered by bookbub, but there is also ebooksoda, the fussy librarian, ereader news today, instafreebie, bookfunnel, or just looking up kindle and nook books.
The ability to access books to fulfill any readers interest is endless.
I'm feeling less motivation toward reading lately, its surely not for a lack of variety or options. Hope to get back into reading regularly soon.

So many great resources, thanks for sharing! Do you find any problems storing all of your physical books? I know for some, the space they take up can be burdensome at times. I can certainly relate to lacking motivation from time to time...what's causing your currently lacking desire to read?

Thanks for sharing! Is this an e-book? Where did you get it from and what's it about?

Like you, my aim is about 1 book per week. Do you typically get print books or e-books? I'm still going strong with print books, but a change may be in my future.
