This depends on the work schedule, but I average around 4 books a month, generally finishing about 1 book per week. Sometimes that is more if I am on vacation for example and sometime less if I have a lot of "other" things to do for work.

I read 3-4 books a month. More if I get hooked on an author or a book series.

My goal has always been to read 52 books in a year - one for every week. The closest I ever came was 47 books (and that was three years ago. My numbers have only declined since then. :P) Someday!

Latest Review: "The Texas Twist" by John Vorhaus

I think on average I probably read 4-5, I try to get at least one read a week. However now that I am no longer a student I find I have much more time to read for my enjoyment rather than those books required for various courses.

I would also read about 4-5,I usually stop reading for a few days after I finished a book to think about the story.

I read any were between 16-24 books a month. About 4-6 books a week depending on how fast and how good the book is. If the book is a slow read, or if I am not feeling well I will read less. I generally read when I am eating, watching T.V., at work during breaks, etc....

I read about 5 but if I'm busy working longer shifts, studying with lots of assessments or preforming lots then it can drop down to one.

2-3. Roughly it takes me 2 weeks to read a book, sometimes quicker if it's a light read, longer if it's a long book.
