HOL

As I am preparing for the SATs, I have found out that statistics show that high scorers read at least 14 hours per week (of course, this counts menus, magazines, internet, etc.)

I am wondering exactly how many books my fellow HOLers read in a year - to figure out if I should go out and read some more, or tell my mom that the people on the internet said that I read just as much as everyone else. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

I read a TON of books a year!! I mean, I like read 3 books a week! So, I have read my books like 20 times over I like to read so much! P.S. Nice topic. I like it! /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Peace* Amy

Well, it varies. XD During the school year, I read one or two books a week (now that we have 30 minutes of DEAR every day, I read more). During the summer, it really depends on my mood. The first few weeks of summer, I read something like six books per week, but that's because I was reading a very good long series. Now I'm just cling to my computer and reading fanfiction. Does that count? XD

If that counted, I'd totally be up there with millions of books to my name /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

Per YEAR? I'm always reading a book... I probably read about 100 proper books a year, I guess -- one every couple of days, or several books a day in the summer when I have more time. It's almost horrible when I read, since I'll stop doing homework or whatever if I find something good. *g*

EDIT: by proper I meant, not manga or anything, and something more than 200 pages *g*

Well, that's fun! I really read a lot. Last week I updated my bookstore special price card to Gold Buyer- 500+ a year. I just love reading.

I know I read more books than I could count! I just go to the library and get 10-14 books! I sometimes bring them to school whenever I have free time and when I'm done with my homework, I read...or go on the computer, either one lol. But still, I would die if I didn't read something! /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Two to three books a day, not counting fanfiction.

Wow, and I thought I read a lot... I don't go through multiple books in a weekend, or even one a week usually during the school year. I think this past school year I read maybe 20 or so actual books, but the number would be much higher if I wasn't online so much. But much of the time I'm online, I'm reading various fanfics. I don't go to the bookstore or library too often, which would be another factor in my reading. When I get new books, I go through them fast, but then I slow down again.

I used to read a lot more than I do, but then I started school and so I slowed down a bit, due to being busy /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> But I read a lot of books per year, way more than ten! I read at *least* three proper books for me (which means very few pictures if any, more than 200 pages, etc. Usually they're rather thick with rather small print) per month. In the summer I read more, about ten books a month perhaps? A few years ago I read thirty proper and semi-proper books in the month of July, but that was my high point, heh. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Unfortunately I get so few books read during the school year (yay university), that I had to say only around 7. When I graduate (next year! woot!), I'll finally be able to read for fun again!! So looking forward to that.

But, thinking about it, I know I've read much more than 7 books so far this year. Oh well! /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Ugh, ten or more. Definitely. Does that count manga books? If so, this far into the year, I've read at least 50.... without.... more than 25.

It depends on how much school work I have to do. But one year I know I read about a hundred books, and the year before I think I read even more. But last year I read maybe only about... 30? Yeah, something like that. But now I'm reading a lot again, so perhaps I will end up on 150+ books this year! /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

hmm... I probably read around 3-4 books in a week during school time. I have to ride a bus to get to school and it usually takes an hour, so I have two hours every day in which I can read. Also I always have a book with me wherever I'm going. I even have one when I'm going out with a friend. You never now how long the bus-ride will take when you try to get home /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> (and yes, I don't have a license ;P)

Well, the weekends are free for reading of course and vacation is too. We have a lot of books at home because my parents read a lot too. My mother gets through a 500 pgs. book in around a day, so she always buys new books or borrows them from people she knows. This way I don't have to go to the library as often as I would have to otherwise. In my free periods at school, however, I usually go to the book-stores close to the school and look around, every once in a while buying one of the books.

Wow, I read over an hour each day (depending on how little or how much work I have), and I definately read waaaaaay over ten books a year! I buy one like...every other week if I can ^.^ My parents have so many though, that I often find myself reading theirs.

Depending on how long the book that I'm reading is (they're usually around 800-900 pages long) it can take me a week to finish one, though I can finish manga's in an hour. Eh, I don't suppose that those count however. Still, I consider myself an avid reader...totally addicted to literature!

Hrmm...Let's see.. I've finished about ten books in the last two weeks, which makes five books a week....fifty-two weeks in a year...Approximately 260 books a year.

Wow. I thought it'd be more...things like a job and my daughter tend to cut in on reading time.

Hmm... *calclates in head* I'd say, on average, two and a half books per two days, so 8.75 per week, so...

455 books a year.

I definitely read more than 10 books! But I dont know how many exactly. Elski@ WoW you read lots of books! I read probably like 1 a week!

ALOT!! like more than 2 a week.. it depends on if i have a new book i mostly just reread books ... like just this week ive read 1-4 of the harry potter series in 4 days.. now im going to re-read 5-6
