it's hard to say
currently I am mostly concentrating on what I need to read for University (as I study literature, that's quite a lot) but else... at least a book a month I think

I used to read a lot more, like between five and ten books a month, but I've gotten out of the habit of reading frequently and it's been almost a month since I last picked up a new book.

On a good week, I can zip through a book or three, but recently, I haven't been doing as much. I always carry a book around in my backpack (currently, it's "The Merlin Conspiracy") but DWJ's pacing doesn't really suit me, and it's currently low on my list of current hobbies.

My life is all about Rune Factory 4 right now...

It is hard to say. I average about 15-30 books a year. But what about all the blog posts, fanfiction, and articles I read? I've read a 500k fanfic in one sitting before. It would be impossible for me to say how much I actually read.

Right now I'm really slow with reading actual books. Only about ten this whole year. Fanfiction though... yeah I've read over 50 books of content there. :}

Foxes are clever, perceptive, and shrewd. You're happiest working behind the scenes, pulling strings and watching others dance to your imperceptible tune. Independent yet highly social, you glide among your circles of acquaintance with ease, sharing your sharp wit or a delicious piece of gossip.

Hard for me to really say, I use to have a huge collection of books but last I heard, most were giving away due to not having enough storage to keep them while I am away at school.

I read all the time :qhehe:
Often several books at the same time ( I mean I don't wait to finish one before starting another).

I've been sorting through books lately and of course you have to stop and at least do a fast skim-through re-read so just this last week I've been getting through a LOT of books, but they're not new ones so I don't know if they count.

Today was Eight Skilled Gentlemen (by Barry Hughart), Out from Boneville (graphic novel by Jeff Smith), The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (collected fanfiction by professional artists, essentially), All Things Bright and Beautiful (James Herriot), Death in Cypress, Death in Zanzibar, and Death in Kashmir (all by M M Kaye), Rain Fall (by Barry Eisler, and I'm still disturbed by how swiftly he sucks you in to empathizing with the main character. Creepy!), Death of a Fool (Ngaio Marsh; turns out that one's a duplicate so I only got about halfway through before spotting that and putting it down), and R-Master (by Gordon Dickson).

To give an example.

(I know it'd be a lot faster if I weren't stopping to reread, but I don't think I'd get rid of ANYTHING if I didn't let myself do some of that)

Please PM me if you can help!
