    Since I do most of my reading online these days, I would have a hard time saying how many "books" I read in a year... Books = 0! But I am reading a lot... I bet I read the equivalent of 1 book per week.

    I think I can only read one book in one year as I'm often working behind my PC. :D

    I only read about 5 or 6 books per year, and I'm not happy about it, because knowledge is power. But I'm so busy trying to build my online business that I don't have as much time as I would like.

    I wish I could speed read through 700 books per year and use photographic memory to recall everything I read...........I would crush everyone who opposed me, my knowledge would be comparable to a sage. I need more books...........more books! hahaha

    Since I don't have much time, I ready books on things that matter. I spend more time reading nonfiction than fiction. Non-fiction books can give you life saving or money making knowledge. Fiction.........is just entertaining.

    I've read approximately 25 books so far this year. Last year I probably read about 20 the entire year...but thankfully I've gotten several Amazon.com cert's that I've been going crazy with, including a Borders gift card :)

    You're quite fortunate, you must have a great deal of leisure time. I would be very pleased to read that many books per year.

    around 4 books a month at least, likely around 50 books a year. I read fast, and I read during my commute and before I go to sleep.

    I read 50-60 books per a year, sometimes more. Half of them are professional books about internet, or marketing (or internet marketing :)), another half are usually sci-fi books.
