Just realised my blog count is 159, I post a new item about each book I read though only the books I read for fun, not books I have read more than once or uni text books (there have been quite a few of those!) I started the blog almost 3 years ago (29/01/08).

I knew I read quite a bit but did not realise I read that much lol...and that's on top of all the socialising and gadding about I've been up to in the past few months too ^^

Is this normal? What is the average FHOT rate of read?

 

[old.Tohtori]

0.3/year here

 

[Punishment]

The prolly looking for certain pic's

 

[Madmaxx]

haha

 

[Ch3tan]

One a month on average. I usually read a book in a week if I'm into it.

 

[ECA]

I can read a book in a couple of hours, usually dont read much though <20 books/year probably.

 

[Wonk]

Hmm, about 0.5 a year I think.

/edit: I do tend to get Calvin and Hobbes from the library when going on vacation. Does that count?

 

[Raven]

It depends really, I usually have two on the go, a new one which I read quite quickly and then one I have in the bathroom which I have already read. I can get through a book in a few days if its good.

I don't always have one on the go though, only if its something I like.

Do you get the newest edition of Flunkerne aswell?

 

[Ormorof]

i read quite a lot (all shelves in house are sprawling with books) but not so much recently, i have been going more for the "lazy" option of TV and movies

also i lack good books to read, or the monies to buy more

 

[Madmaxx]

I used to read more when I left school, but now its only a series I read. Like Harry Potter or Chronicles of Narnia and Godfather trilogy etc.

If I was to read books more they would 95% of time be, Crime thrillers and Gangster Books I love that stuff.

I just got an e-reader today, so ask me in a month how many I'm getting through now I can carry my books to and from uni/placement more easily.

Though I start back at uni on Thursday and I might have to work this term. :/

 

[Ch3tan]

kindle or other?

 

[Will]

Sony PRS-350.

 

[Vasconcelos]

1 book every couple of months. More in the holydays / summer.

Something like 6-8 books a year.

Same.

 

[Ormorof]

i dont like e-readers, i like books

i know i will have to change eventually, wave of the future and all that but... i like the old, smelly, coffee stained, taped together look of old books

 

[Will]

I've spent too long travelling to uni and work with books in my bag. The weight-saving was the big plus for me. And the huge library of out of copyright books available online helped a lot too.

The lack of storage in my flat is also an issue.

 

[Ormorof]

i suppose, i mainly read at home or on long distance journeys (which i take rarely )

i find reading on short bus trips extremely frustrating as i want to keep reading not get off the bus and go to work!

 

[Will]

I cycle everywhere so portability is a huge bonus.

What is more portable than a paperback cover book?

 

[georgie]

Well, I'm about to start the thousand page plus twelfth book of the Wheel of Time series, which was one of the things that persuaded me to buy a Kindle.

The Kindle is definitely more portable.

 

[Cerb]

Since I moved to America in july I've read hmmm .... about 10
soo I guess my ratio is about 20 per year atm.

 

[Chosen]

About 1 book every week. Done so the last 5 years or so now =)

 

[cHodAX]

Reading 2 books a week at the moment, work is very quiet. Big books too, 1000 pagers.

Reading Pilars of Earth twice doesnt count *****!

Debt of Honor and Executive Orders actually.

 

[Aph3x]

I probably go through a book every fortnight, read even more when I'm off work, especially in the summer when I can park my arse on a beach and cook slowly.
