Weave Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Last count 56, but I was off on the sick for awhile, plus Margaret Atwood short stories are not very big books. x:readingtwo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proserpina Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I've read 95 books this year. I would like to get to 120 if I could, but I think I might be stretching it somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 So far 27 which is already 6 more than last year. Hoping to read 35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Butter Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I'm really impressed by this thread. I honestly would have no idea how many books I've read, apart from "quite a few"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louiseog Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I'm really impressed by this thread. I honestly would have no idea how many books I've read, apart from "quite a few"!

rosegarden Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I have only read 3 books so far this year, but I have listened to 31 audiobooks Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenmck Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 With rereads I don't know. I've read about ten ebooks and probably ten new books since January. But I reread stuff all the time too. Somewhere around thirty I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I've been eyeing these older threads on the general book discussions section tonight and I thought I'd bump a few... How many books have you read this year? And I thought I'd throw in another question for you: have you noticed an increase in read books since you joined the forum? I can't remember my exact totals this year, but I think I've read 73 books this year. And yes, I read a lot more since joining the forum. Although sometimes I spend too much time reading the forum instead of an actual book... I know you guys know what I'm talking about. Are you reading more books this year than last year, or fewer?

Although sometimes I spend too much time reading the forum instead of an actual book... I know you guys know what I'm talking about. Are you reading more books this year than last year, or fewer? Nice you've been resurrecting these threads ! Yes, I have definitely noticed an increase in read books since I joined the forum . And yes, I know exactly what you mean . I read much more books this year, than last year. And last year more than the year before (I joined the forum in 2013), and in 2013 more than in 2012. I'm hoping to get to 500 this year. Currently 485. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabry Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) I read 36 so far. My goal was to read 40. Edited December 13, 2015 by Sabry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I read more since I joined the forum than I did before, but thats not always saying much as I basically never read at all before the forum (didn't have a clue how to find books I'd like). The last few years have been atrocious for me reading-wise but for the first year since I joined the forum I've had a pretty much entirely consistent year. So far I've read 117 books, and I'm going for 120 before the 21st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Budgie Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I joined Goodreads at the beginning of this year, and that has *significantly* increased my reading rate. So far this year, I've read 32 books. Before Goodreads I'd feel mightily pleased if I scraped through a dozen. I do like to take my time with books, though. I can't skim, or speed-read; somehow, to me, that seems disrespectful to the author. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I've read 40 books this year, which I think is a little less than last year, but more than the couple of years before that. So about average, I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So about average, I guess! I thought it'd be more! You read so fast! So far I've read 117 books, and I'm going for 120 before the 21st No problem for you, happy reading! I'm at 73 books and hope to get two more in before the end of the year. I've never gone for an "even" number before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolf woolf Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I think I read six books this year, even less than the previous year. It might go up to seven. I also read some manga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I thought it'd be more! You read so fast! Not me! You must be confusing me with someone else. I think I read at a fairly average speed, and I rarely have time to read big chunks in one reading session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I finished book 164 this morning, but I expect to top 170 by the end of the year. Most years I read around 140 books, so this has been a better than average year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no, I'm sure its you I read in small sessions too, I get too nervous to sit and read for hours. I finished book 164 this morning, but I expect to top 170 by the end of the year. WOW!
