Well, so I've been thinking to post this poll on here for a few months now.
Some of us hate reading, while others are total bookworms who consume books by the dozens. Which one are you? Personally, I'm in the 25+ cathegory. And that's when I "barely had time to read anything this year". ^_^ OK, maybe that's not exactly true. I actually had some proper time for reading in March, when I had to go to a hospital for a week. As a part of preparations I went shopping for books - three bookstores visited, 12 tomes in total. I ran out of things to read just a day before they let me out of hospital. |
I wish you asked me last year where I had read at least 20.
This year I've been concentrating on music and games. |
It's more or less my job to read books, so definitely 25+ for me.:) Usually I read about 100-120 books per year. I agree that hospitals are great for reading, unless you're unlucky enough to share a room with an old lady who for some obscure reason believes you'd like to be told how to make Tiffany lampshades.:rolleyes:
|
100-120 per year? Are you a critic or something like that?
|
120 books a year is quite a lot Raffles... (:kosta:) I think I might manage half of that in a year at most... If I added the technical books as well though... but that's another poll...
|
Well, I believe I read only about 11-15 books this year... not that I don't like reading - I do love doing it - but I don't have enough time to do it :wallbash:
EDIT: Miss Raffles - 100 - 120 books a year? :omg2: :wacko: WOW :kosta: |

I'm doing a degree in English Language and Literature, you see, so I have to read an awful lot of primary texts for my tutorials. 25 books is about how much I managed to read over the long vacation (about ten weeks), and I'd have read even more if I hadn't had a lazy phase somewhere in between. There's a reason why the faculty cites "enthusiasm for literature" as one of the main criteria for applicants... |
Duh! I only read books for study this year, but i don't count them in here. Expert books are not really fun. Rarelly i find them interesting. Articles are better sometimes.
so,... 0. |

Well, this year I only read 6 to 10 books. And I don't count those in that I read in order to write professional articles. And I nearly read a fully newspaper everyday. So there isn't much margin left...
