Answer 2

I am only able to read about 20 books a year right now. I have a demanding job, family, and home to take care of. I try to make the most of my reading time by not reading junk. This year I have read Catcher in the Rye, Slaughterhouse 5, Wicked, Night, Water for Elephants, and Lovely Bones to name a few.

I read several years ago that the average American reads only 2 nonfiction books in their lifetime after graduating from high school. Since I don't like to be average, I try to read 2 nonfiction books every year.

I listen to public radio in the car to and from work. I love to listen to interviews with authors. I'm spending a lot on books these days but I keep Barnes & Noble in business.

Answer 3

I used to read a book a day--roughly 300-400 pages long--when I was in jr. high and high school. College is much more demanding, so I've cut back to probably one a week. I didn't really have a preference at the start, but sometime about ninth or tenth grade I developed a preference for fantasy. Tolkien was the first fantasy I read, then the works of Mercedes Lackey, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Andre Norton, Anne McCaffrey...my current favorites are by Lynn Flewelling.

Answer 4

I read everyday. I read several books at one time.
When I finish, I look for new books to read.

I am nearly finished author Benjamin Franklin Cooling's book - 'Forts Henry and Donelson: The Key To The Confederate Heartland.' This book is EXCELLENT!

Next in line is: 'The Fiery Trail: A Union Officer's Account of Sherman's Last Campiagns."

Answer 5

I never used to read much at all. Since I got our ot High School I read maybe ten books. But then I visited Antietam Battlefield in Sharpsburg, Maryland, USA and I can't read enough about this battle and the things that led up to it. I've gone through over a dozen books about Antietam alone and have another doezen waiting for me.



g-day!

Answer 8

I usually go through 3-4 books a month, depending on the size and depth of reading.
