How books have you read? how many do you read per month?

My rough estimate would be that I've read more than 300 books since getting out of high school about 7 years ago, so that would translate to about .824 books per week. (I'm not counting any of the college textbooks or the reference books that I use.)

Now I'm reading about 3 books, but I'm trying to get on track to reading at least 1 book week.

My current focus is on personal development, psychology, sociology, business, marketing, communications, spirituality, relationships, biographies, autobiographies.

How are you doing? Do you read? do you stay away from reading? or is it just digg.com and this forum?

Looking forward to everbodies comments.

 

I read vendor catalogs for items I want to sell. That, and my tv preview channel

I just got Verizon FIOS installed today

 

I read 'To Kill a Mockingbird' when I was in school for an English exam, also did Shakespeare but more of the theatrical stuff.

Other than that I've never read a book up until a week ago when I read Seth Godins 'Purple Cow' marketing book, I've since purchased every other book he's written and I'm getting through them quite fast.

 

He's a good author, covers a lot of important subjects, I read his books as they have come out. He has a blog at: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/

For some interesting reading you might also find Gary Halbert at http://www.thegaryhalbertletter.com/ he's a legend, but more in the area of direct marketing in the offline world.

If you're coming from a theatre background, you might consider reading "Art of Seduction" by Robert Greene, it covers "marketing" but from many different points of view, such as a president "seducing" a nation, etc.

 

I love reading. I read a lot! Mainly cars numberplates, various manuals, things written on walls and yellow pages.

 

only read magazine...book is too much for me

 

lol... that doesn't count

at least it's something

 

On a more serious note i go through stages. If i find a good book il read it in a few days without being able to stop for more than a few hours (sleepless nights). Or i can go for half a year without reading... Depends...

 

Iam not finding any time to read books. I like reading but Internet kept me away from reading books.

 

No time to read for me..getting my sites up and trying to figure out how to get traffic to my websites is taking all my time up.

 

Work is taking up all my time these days. I remember the pre-university days when I sat on my arse reading pretty much all day. I've read hundreds upon hundreds of books, we have quite the library at home

 

Ever consider audio books?

 

i love to read but im down to 2 books/week....
before when i dont have a job yet, i read at least 5 books.
Mostly fictions.....i have no idea how many books ive read so far...i still have 21 sealed books waiting for me on the shelves

Right now im reading 'Lays of Beleriand' by JRR Tolkien

 

1 book per month for me, the total books that I've read excluding those books from schools,about 80-90 books

 

I really like to read but haven’t had time to finish any of the books I started. Ok, ok, I’m reading Icon “I was curious, nothing wrong with that”.

 

I tried that, but I couldn't really concentrate on listening to one.

 

Never been much of a reader, always prefered puzzles. The internet has introduced us to a different kind of reading.

 

I read at most one book per month, the latest was "How to get rich" by Trump =)

 

I'm not a big reader but I'm currently reading "Guerilla Marketing" .
About 2 / 3 books a year.

 

I read books on self-help and "law of attraction"
