I read too many books to keep track. This past week I have read two.

to be honest, i'm not sure. I know I've read about 3 so far.

Ten or more.
I love to read.
I have absolutely no idea how many. This year I want to keep track of how many I read.

I read like maybe 10 books. But I read NON - Interesting books like 1 page a week. Or I can read a REALLY interesting books like what, 3 times a day? So it matters on the book /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I do the same thing. My personal library has about 1000 books, and that's not including my parents' and sister's books or those that all of us read. And, of course, there is the public library three miles from my house and the school library. My mom kept track of my reading in sixth grade, and I read about four hundred books that year, but I was homeschooled then, and we didn't count books that I read twice in the year's time. Since then...well, probably about five hundred per year.

It's probably because I read quickly, too, but also because I read about a book and a half a day, maybe more or less, depending. I read the first six Harry Potter books in four days the first time I read them, and I remembered most of what happened.

So...a lot of books. Ten to twelve each week, and more if I'm on holiday or have less homework. Reading is my favorite hobby.

And I can tell you for certain--reading a lot does increase your chance of doing well on the PSAT and SAT. I haven't taken the latter yet, but I took the PSAT last year in 10th grade and again this year in 11th grade, and my scores were really high, especially in the reading and writing sections.

I read alot of books per year, may be 300 or 400?
I really like to read. 400 if you count those 10 paged books that my mom wants me to read. /happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />

I go to borders every weekend, and buy at least 4 books. If people know wat to get me for presents they give me a book voucher. You cant go wrong with a book!
I don't think I like it when people buy me books. I mean dont get me wrong, I love it when they do, but I prefer to get a voucher and get them myself. Books are very personal in my opinion.

Though I've never really counted them, I'm sure I read atleast 50 books a year. It often depends, however, on the size of the books and other conditions going on in my life.

For example, I get a lot of reading done when I'm waiting to start work (don't drive -- often get to work 6 hours before I'm supposed to begin), but I've been working more day shifts lately.

I read a stupid amount of books.
I'm a self confessed read-a-holic.

I tend to walk in the library and pick books off the shelves at random.
Some are good, some are bad, and some I wonder how in the world they even got published.

i don't actually read BOOKS that much. i mainly read comics or really short books like 2-50 pages long and big fonts when i'm bored. but sometimes i read books like the series of unfortunate event and harry potter books.

I'd say at least 24. I always have a book in my hand. That's probably why my house is so messy. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="<_<" border="0" alt="dry.gif" />

I am fourteen and have most likely read over 1500 books since I was 3 years of age. I got in trouble in kindergarten four reading a third grade book! I am homeschooled however now and read a book almost every day. I read Harry Potter OotP in 4 days!

Countless I think. I can finish a novel in a few days if I have a lot of free time, and I shop for new books every few weeks. I can't have nothing new to read even for a day, so usually I buy new books before I run out of my current new ones. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

I am trying to read as much as i can because my english teacher told me it increases our vocabulary.

I love learning new words and annoying people who i know don't know what it means.

Expecially when i put it in the wrong context and see them jsut agree haha

I usually read about a book a week, so that make 52 books a year, though, often, I reread things that I've already read. Like I read all the Harry Potter books about twice a year, just so I never forget anything, and I reread Dragonflight I don't know how many times. And I've written plenty of short stories, so my depth of writing and reading is pretty big, at least, in my opinion.

I read less now than I did in high school. I used to get 4 or 5 books from the library and read them in a week. I don't have time like that anymore. I'm down to about 2, maybe 3 on a good week. If I have a full day I can read a whole book (I did that the HP 6). If not it may take about 2 or 3 days.

Well, to be honest, I'm not really sure. I read no book unless it's normal or small print, and only if its mostly 300 page + . I average 2-4 of these in a week, depending on how actively I read, if I really want to I can read a whole weekend non stop and add another book to the week. I make a point to read every week. That would mean about...200 + books one average a year.

I LOVE BOOKS! /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
