How many books do you read during the summer break?

Question

I don't mind if you name them too.

Answer 1

I try to read a bunch of fiction during the summer months as I am reading non-fiction the rest of the year. I have never actually counted how many books I've read in a year - but I have read 3 books since late May. I have a pile of 24 books I would like to read this summer, one more in the mail (non-fiction). but I will also be reading several philosophy books this summer as well (descartes, spinoza, kant, berkely, hume)

Check out Niel Gaiman's fiction!

Answer 2

There are numerous outstanding books obtainable ! As i'm a teenager, i'm recommending youthful adult books, so yeah. nicely, The starvation video games sequence is for sure tremendous - another sequence are the lengthy gone sequence (all and multiple 15 and over is going lacking), optimum holiday sequence (youngsters with wings), UGLIES sequence (futuristic novels in which once you swap 16 you get a surgical treatment that makes you "extraordinarily"), Sherlock Holmes thoughts, The Mysterious Benedict Society sequence (a lot less severe, extra juvenile yet nevertheless very reliable), Enola Holmes sequence (Sherlock's meant little sister - resembling Sherlock yet a clean, different perspective), Wildwood Chronicles (Written by the lead singer of The Decemberists ! Very unusual, very colourful tale), Sammy Keyes (atypical mysteries), The Palace of Laughter (endearingly darkish), the city of Ember (extra juvenile, truly about an underground international). abode of the Scorpion (a destiny in which clones are regularly happening products), the discovery of the Hugo Cabret (a minimally worded, superbly illustrated quirky tale), and The Kneebone Boy (a gloomy, twisting, astounding British tale) nicely there you pass, i desire you a minimum of this kind of appeals to you !!

Answer 3

im pretty certain now that its not the amount of-books one
reads,its the quality.Although the quality of directly reading
Descarte or bishop Berkeley would be as much as that of
george Bush(!);all three much in advance of the billions of
fiction read.
Mosy average people have not got much free time to read,
which if true would lead to the conclusion that few have the
time to write,either(and this seems to fit the current facts of
"writing"books as a fulltime job,for nearly all unprofitable too.
And talking of the aforementioned quality,i remember reading helen Keller's The story of my Life.In it,she herself
rather prophetically shatters the myth of why she became famous! She triumphed as a diabled child by learning to
read and write-of course the understanding of it came first,
at the water pump with her brilliant teacher Anne Sullivan.
Later on,during her british university education,she turned
against it(the reading and writing she came to love).
Now,it could have been the-foreign-nature of her education
which reviled her;or it could have been the uselessness that
a lot of students find with their course/studies.Whatever.
I believe it was a mixture,including the fact that compared to
childlike learning,adultlike learning is hardly fun,and this
could well account for the amount of fiction books that are
written and read(and at least one contributor to this here
Yahoo question has virtually confirmed!).
And a mixture which says loud and clear(not loud enough)
that our heroines and heroes do sometimes turn-against the
reasons that made them so(and thats only common sense as
some heroes were ordinary/average like us); And helen
Keller will always therefore be one of mine,(together with her
Teacher),even more so now.

Answer 4

The words "book","books","read","reading" and all other forms relating to, are completely absent from my mind from the late days of May to the later days of August.

I do however highly suggest George Orwell's "1984" and if you enjoy that I also recommend taking a look at Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World"

And to answer you're question, probably less than zero.
