Do you read? If so, how many books per year on average?

Other?

I only have time/can be bothered to read during the holidays, specifically summer, but I can get through maybe like 20 books a year? I used to just reread books, but I've gotten back into it in the last two years, and I love buying 2nd-hand books online, so I read new stuff - I read way more fanfic online if that counts too lol

[Asker]

That’s cool but be careful of second hand books. They can carry lice, bed bugs, or book lice or some other nefarious disgusting insects. Stay safe

Ugh! The worst books are ones with tobacco residue. You know the toxins actually multiply over time! It's easy to tell if the previous reader was a smoker!

[Akam93]

I would say 10 books a year. This year has been different as in only 2 books.

[Asker]

Wow double digits is my goal, well done.. why only 2 books this year? And what were they If you don’t mind sharing

[exitseven]

I have really tried to read more but I have been able to get through only two books this year.

[Asker]

It takes commitment. If it helps try reading 10 pages everyday. That should do the trick.

the cxhallenge is finding a book. I think I saw a couple I am going to take out of the library.

Thanks for the MHO😎

I never counted, maybe one each month, maybe more...

[Asker]

Cool same here

[AngryCarl]

About one a week. I tend to avoid books that are super long.

[Asker]

How many pages aia your average book?

[AngryCarl]

I'm not sure but the current one is 255 pages. Average might be closer to 200.

[Asker]

That’s not a small number, good for you

[Quartertolove]

If "read" in your question means "to finish" then I say a few but many books that I don't feel it's worth till the end, travel through my hands

[Asker]

That’s why it’s important to research a book before starting it.. many books aren’t worth it tbh

[Quartertolove]

you have to skim through yourself and sometimes start and read some, not always reviews or summary or topic, etc help you understand whether it is worth

[Asker]

That’s also true.. reviews threw me off a few times and I don’t really trust them but they do serve as a starting point

[SnowedIn]

Probably three books a month so 36 a year.

[Asker]

That’s a great number

[Nikki1989]

I read around one a month

[Asker]

Same
