I probably buy 100+ books per year, and read at least twice that number. Hard to really name them all.

That's good for u to read a considerable amount of books.u really spend much time reading.keep the good habit:)

I heard once that on average most people read one book a year. I must be reading a lot of other people's books.

I actually do a whole lot of reading, so I probably could not tell you the exact number of books I read last year. You are right, though. People just don't read as much these days. I love books by Carl Hiaasen. They are very unique. They have some twisted humor. His books are set in Florida- where I live. I can give you a list of my top 3 Hiaasen books.
1. Sick Puppy- this one is out there. It is about a crazy environmentalist and a scandelous politician.
2. Stormy Weather- This is about a bad hurricane and the madness that occurs afterwards.
3. Skinny Dip- This is about man who tries to kill his wife and the plan backfires when she pretends to be dead and makes him go crazy.

He has many more as well!

Tons.

I love to read, I always have a book going, sometimes more than one. I don't read as much as I used to, kids take up time and I swear, they suck away brain power. I probably buy 30 to 40 books a year, and read two or three a week. I am a huge patron of our library system, and I think my overdue fines alone keep a couple of the branches open. I spend way too much money on books, but I think it is completely worth it.


rita111 (32)   ranked 12,046 out of 38,338 in life  8 months ago

Ths for replying, my friend.Books always are essential to our life and it really worth reading them from time to time.enjoying the reading process:)

I can read between 50 and 100 books in a year. I buy books every week, because I enjoy browsing the second hand shelves and finding ones I have not read and want to read. I always look for certain authors I enjoy, or whose works have been well reviewed.

I read every day. I never watch TV, so I can devote a few hours in the evening to reading. I get much more from books than from watching movies or TV shows. I know more people are reading electronic versions of books now, and that may mean fewer printed books, but both forms will continue to be written, published and read.




rita111 (32)   ranked 12,046 out of 38,338 in life  8 months ago

i totally agree with u that we can get much more from books than watching tv cause reading can make us thinking a lot,your thoughts can communicate with the author.and i do prefer to read books in the traditional way .
ths for your reply,my friend:)

I love books and buy a lot, mostly reference books. But then when I have time I read too although lately I had too much to study and work so didn't have much time. At the moment I'm reading Perfume, I saw the movie last year so now decided to buy the book when I saw it in a bookstore.


rita111 (32)   ranked 12,046 out of 38,338 in life  8 months ago

we always buy some reference books to prepare well in orfer to pass the exam.that 's the most book we read in nowadays.
i just buy the curious case of benjamin button by F.Scott Fitzgerald,it has been shot to film,but the feeling bring to u by reading is totally differet from watching film.

Dued to my job I have to read many books in one year, it may be up to 50. However, there's a library in my company, so I don't have to buy any one for professional aim. For recreative books, I can read them online or borrow them from the regional library, and so I don't spend any cent for them.


rita111 (32)   ranked 12,046 out of 38,338 in life  8 months ago

That is a penny-saving way to read the book:)no matter which ways u access to reading,acquiring information and knowledge is the most important thing we need to do in this changing,quick-tempo world.
