jesika Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 When I was a student a was reading at least 1 every week, but know I just don't have time and read 1 book within a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgambino Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Ever since I got my Kindle reader I go through about two books a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelleVaughn Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I can usually read about two a week. When I'm working on writing one of my own: None! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abcinthia Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I've been averaging 3-4 books a week lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruth Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I used to read 1 - 2 books a week, but I found that I was getting a bit hung up on how much I read, and was reading because I felt I had to, rather than because I wanted to. This year I decided to allow myself to relax about it a bit, but I'm still reading one book about every 7 - 10 days. So 3 or 4 books a month, I guess.

Talisman Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I used to read quite slowly getting through maybe 2 or 3 books a month, but like sgambino, since I got my Kindle about 6 months ago, it has been at least twice that - on average I get through about one book every 5 days.

lauraloves Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'm not sure if I'm reading more or not with my Kindle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblybear Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'd say I average about 1 a week, maybe slightly more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gad786 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I read 2-3 books a week normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil1980 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I seem to only read books 500 pages plus for some reason, which usually takes me about a week to a week and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 How do you guys manage to read so much I only manage to read on average 2 books a month. It normally takes me 2 weeks to read a book. If I'm lucky maybe a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I read about 100 pages a day, so it depends on the length of the book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraloves Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I normally read about 6 a month, but lately its gone up a bit to 8 or 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I've been so caught up with my challenge to read everything on my TBR shelf, I've been reading more than ever, and after reading an average of 11 books per month in both Jan and Feb, this month I've already read 16 books, and there's still four days left!

MountainGirl Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I wish I could read that much! When its not busy-season at work and I find books that keep me interested I can do maybe 2 a month or more depending how much time I have. Over the summer when I wasn't working very much I did more like one or more a week. Now that I work full time and everything its way less (ive been reading Under The Dome since, well I don't even remember when I bought it - maybe Jan or Feb.) When does everyone read? Is there a trick to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblybear Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I've been reading the same book since early March. However, I have made up for my lack of reading, by buying plenty of Kindle books in that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Reader Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I've been reading the same book since early March. However, I have made up for my lack of reading, by buying plenty of Kindle books in that time. ha ha ha ha I know that problem I always seem to think buying more books will get me out of a reading slump, it hasn't worked yet. If I am reading well I can do a small book in 2/3 days but most books take a week. At the moment they seem to be taking 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devi Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I have been stuck on the same book for almost a month now, and it's driving me nuts because I would of read it in about a week. Big fat book, but it's got a big font type. Not the large font type for people who have trouble reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I've had a couple of books recently that have taken me much longer to read than I normally would too. I usually find it happens when there are lots of characters, but little dialogue. It also takes me longer than usual on non-fiction, as there are so many facts to absorb, and again no dialogue, which I just find much easier to read.

sue Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I used to read 2 to 3 books a week, but nowadays its just 1 on average depending what's going on in my life.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) I tend to take a week to read a book, unless I'm really enjoying it. Sometimes I'll read a book over the weekend like M conelly's The drop. In 2013 I tend to be reading 1.5 to 2 books a week and then there's the readathon to consider as well.

Hanananah Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 If the books are big (say 500 pages and over) I'll get through that in a couple of days but short, easy to read books I could get through 3/4 a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyNine Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 With work etc, I normally read 2 books a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 It's hard to say what with factors like how big is it, how much to I love it and is it part of a series. However I can read anything from 4 to 10 books a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaila Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm not very consistent but I'd say on average I read 1 book every two weeks. I used to read a lot more but with two children ages 4 and 8 it's hard to find time nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
