Book count

1) 13.

2) Can't tell. I sometimes go a month without reading. I have to be in a reading zone.

3) 98 percent fiction. A couple years ago, though, it was 90 percent non...so it varies.

About 30, though only 5 novels tops. The rest have been poetry anthologies, which are 100 pages long, and short story anthologies, which are usually around 150-200 or so pages.

1 novel & 1 short story, so far this year.

2-3 books a year, on average.

100% fiction.

1) Six so far

2) Two or three a month

3) 100% fiction

1) 15-20
2) Around six a month
3) 95%

-21 books this year (11 fiction and 10 non fiction)

-usually one novel per week (depending on length) the nonfiction books will be feast or famine

-most of the time it's 90-95% fiction, but then when something piques my interest I'll easily read 5-10 books on that subject in one month

1) About 30

2) Right now about ten a month

3) All fiction so far this year

10 a month? Good God! I'm in awe!!! :-O

I have a friend who is a whiz at reading. She could read an average of ten 300-page paperback novels in one week! And she remembers everything in the book, better than I do, even though I take way more time. In fact, I ask her for book reviews before deciding if a book is worth reading.

1) How many books have you read so far this year?
I think I'm up to 6 so far this year

2) How many do you generally read each month?
I guess the average is 2 per month

3) What proportion of the books you read are fiction or nonfiction?
Thus far, it's 1 fiction to 5 non-fiction. The one in my bag now is a novel, but I haven't figured out if I'm going to finish it yet or not.

Last year, my total was around 40 books for the year and only 3 of them were novels. the year before (yes, I track this stuff too) it was 42 books with about 7 novels read.

That's amazing! I'm the slowest reader on the planet, myself. I average about 15 pages per hour, so it takes me weeks to finish a book; sometimes, months. (Please keep that to yourself.)

I just finished book #8 for the year. I've gotten off to a slow start -- stupid day job commitments kept me from reading a single book in January. I nearly went nuts.

In general, I try to read about 4 books per month.

2 of the 8 books were non-fiction, and one was a short story collection. The rest were novels.

1) How many books have you read so far this year?
1 -- still working on it, haven't completed any

2) How many do you generally read each month?
1/10th

3) What proportion of the books you read are fiction or nonfiction?
95% fiction

1.) How many books have you read so far this year?

12, not counting text books, poetry, re-reads, or the internet. (I really miss the days when I was reading one to two books a day, every day -- sadly, moving from Anne McCaffrey and Robert Jordan to Virginia Woolf and Albert Camus has slowed me down a bit.)

2.) How many do you generally read each month?

This seems... fairly obvious? We are three months into the year, 12 books read, so... four new books a month?

3) What proportion of the books you read are fiction or nonfiction?

Mostly fiction, I guess. Last year I read 50 new books, 5 of which were nonfiction. (2 philosophy, 1 linguistics, 1 book of essays and 1 psychology, in case anyone cares.)

I'll guess I've read ten so far this year, about half fiction. But the non-fiction often doesn't fully "count" as reading a whole book, as some of it is reference (data books, whatnot) that I read only a few pages of and put back on the shelf.

And there ARE online books I've read (http://dspguide.com/ is a notable technical one) - recently I started reading through the downloaded .pdf of this book:

About a third are fiction.

I keep track of what I've read on Bookshelved, a wiki for readers.

I like this. I actually started using Gurulib.com to inventory my books.
1) How many books have you read so far this year?
11
2) How many do you generally read each month?
3-4

3) What proportion of the books you read are fiction or nonfiction?
I'd say 85% fiction, 15% nonfiction.

1)Sadly only around three or four.
2)About one...I know I really need to start reading more again.
3)99% Fiction...YA at that.

1. Five so far, (although I tend to go through spurts).
2. One a month but then it varies, last month I read three and before that I hadn't picked up a book in a while.
3. 99 % fiction.

1. Nine

2. I average two or three a month

3. All of them fiction

1.) More than thirty. Hell, I can't remember XD
2.) I get through three or four books a week, you tell me. (Depending on how much work I have.)
3.) All of them are fiction.

1--45ish or so. I had lots of hospital time this year.

2--10-20 depending on my schedule.

3--probably 50/50. I go back and forth between genre reading, classics, and biographies, autobiographies.

Since January, I've read--I think--about 65. But I'm in college, so I have that in addition to all the 'normal' reading. Does that count? (The reading for my degree field is f**&*^g INSANE.)

About 20 a month.

I'd say around 50/50.

I'm on # 19 right now.

mainstream fiction - and I wish more writers wrote LONGER books. I want 1000 pages or more (If it's good)
