Why just fiction books? Some people love to read and stick mostly to nonfiction.
I read that the average person 'could' read 2000 books in a lifetime. That was with 3 books a month for 50 years (which really comes out to 1800, so I don't know how they did the math). I know there are people who definitely read more than that, but there are also those who read much less. So that's probably a good average.

I would say I have read somewhere between 300-500.
Maybe an average of 20 books/year for 20 years. I consider that to be in the "avid reader" classification. (Certainly there are lots of people who read more, though).
As for the average person, do you mean an average for a person who reads, or just an average person?
I would say a book a month for an average reader, and less than a book a year for an average person.
Also, the demographic on Y!Answers (books and authors category) is skewed heavily towards people that read more than average.
Imagine if you asked random passers-by on the street.
