well if mangas and forums count then quite allot, but actual book, its been a long while.

On highschool I started the habit of reading. I must've read like 20 books in a single year, but then never read again. Hahaha
I read some visual novels here and there (not adult ones), but never books.

Without my kindle I would have no more room in my house

I stopped reading books because gaming is easier and takes less time. Also school kinda fucked my enjoyment of reading. Give me interesting books with cool worlds and interesting characters not the 12th book that is a coming of age story where the main characters learn that racism, prejudice, and dying of an incurable disease is a bad thing.

I used to. Like 4 years ago(?) I binged Stephen King's works and some other sci fi and fantasy books

Usually 10-20 books. But mostly scifi and fantasy

My option is not on the proposed list. I read about 50 books a year (not counting literature on my main specialty). Mostly non-fiction (memoirs, historical monographs, etc.)

I love reading. I'm currently reading through the Saxon Stories by Bernard Cornwell. It's the source material for the Last Kingdom show on Netflix

lol. Same. I've read hundreds of books through kindle.

Not so much now, but when I worked 3rd shift I would read a book a night unless it was a long one, then it could take 2 or 3. In recent years I use a Nook color. My hands don't work so good at turning actual pages, plus it can hold a hell of a lot more than could be kept on shelves, etc in the house.

I love to read books, ever since I discovered Sci Fi in high school.

 

[Annonx]

I'd like to read, there are some books that interest me but man! I hate reading!

 

[Parroute]

Have to read a lot of work-related shit so prefer to chill in games or video at home. Used to love reading a lot, still have lots of books on shelves.

It's a mistake. Books quite often give the sensible, the good, the eternal.

I said 1-6 in the poll, but it might be a bit higher. I do try to get some reading in, but it's a challenge with other things vying for my attention... *ahem*... I also used to commute a lot more for work so I if I had taken this poll years ago it would have been much higher because I got a LOT of audiobooks in during the driving. I also used to read a lot of graphic novels (libraries are fantastic for these nowadays).

 

[MattShizzle]

One of my favorite authors (Clive Cussler) died a couple years ago, so no more from him. My favorite, Harry Turtledove, gets usually 1 book and a couple short stories a year.

 

[Republican Bear]

Well lets see I have a full closet of paperback and hardcover books, and probably thousands of eBooks on my PC.

So I read a lot and it doesn't help that Prime comes with thousands of more free books to read.

 

[Chromius]

Not as much as I'd like to for sure.
