I tend to read two books a week these days so i guess i don't have to choose too wisely

That's good going.

Must be slow readers.

I think you need to make allowance for all the times when you weren't reading much- and I guess even the most eager readers among us take a rest from books every now and then.

Yes, I go through voracious book reading periods and then periods when I can't imagine wanting to ever pick up another book.

Me too.

I'm a very slow reader, and I have to read a lot for work - so I probably only get to read about a dozen books a year of my own choice. My wall is pocked with the dents where I've flung the unworthy for wasting my precious time.

I believe I've speeded up. I seem to get through books a lot faster than I used to do.

When I was a bookish child I could read two or three books in a day in the school holidays... I must have been getting close to the 4,160 before I left school.

I've slowed down considerably now though. I usually have four or five on the go at once, and finish maybe two a week.

At this stage of my life I'm probably getting through a couple of books a week, but I've not always had such application.

If I have two books on the go at once it's a sure sign that I'm finding the one I started first a bit of a bore.

I reckon on one a month, though it's quicker when they are shorter or lighter reading. I stopped trying to read books in parallel after it took me three years to finish Eco's Foucault's Pendulum.

Life here at my mother's involves a lot of sitting around so I'm reading a lot. I reckon I get through a couple of books a week.

In high school, I kept a log, and was reading over 400 books a year.

Today, it's more like 2-3 a week.

I wish I'd logged my reading. It would be fascinating to look back on.
