I dislike reading book but I like reading short articles online. To me, I will easily fall asleep while reading book with words only. But if it was the book I like then I will maybe stay awake.

Okay so here is another book to add to the March count for me. And I am already on page 106 of 416 of the next book. My daughter is reading the next book in the series we are reading so I have to wait for that one from her. And since we checked it out of the library I will probably stop reading the current book and read the one in the series when she finishes then pick this one back up.

It takes me about a month to read a book, sometimes 2 months depending on the book.

My mother amazes me, it takes her about 5 days to finish a book, she is an avid reader

Ok so I wasn't able to get on the computer the last couple of days but I have finished that book I was reading to bring my total for this month so far to 2 1/2 books. I am currently almost 200 pages into my next book of 370 so I would say I should be done with that one by Monday and then will start the next book in the series I am reading. My daughter just finished it and has moved on to 11 of 21. Because the library got them in out of order we read book 9 first then 8 which is what I'm on and then 10.

when I read, it takes me two weeks to finish a book. I have other things to do. Still, I manage to sit and read a chapter or two at a time.

we have a library in our building. a couple reserved their apartment for the Autumn. They decided to clean out their bookcase early when they came for a tour of the building. I help with book acquisitions for the library. I have a friend helping me. I went through the books, not taking the ones that we had already. I also didn't take books that had tiny print.

I read an average a book a month.  I don't usually read everyday.  I read mostly at work when I have downtime.

I don't read books because when I was young every time I tried to read my vision went double and I could not see what it said so I never got in the habit. But since my vision was corrected I do read the Bible because whenever I need help in a situation the answer is always in there.  I usually fine the answer in Proverbs or Psalms and many other books but I always look there first.

I love to read.  I guess I read at least one book a month but most months I read at least three.  These books are usually at least 250 pages or more.

I read a lot, but have trouble focusing on any one book. I'm in the middle of 7 or so. My fav new book is Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understanding the Nature of the Universe.
