I have been blessed with a few teachers that have excepted my 4th grade reading level and helped to focus on the things I am good at. There must be something not right with the survey. We need to know the type of data sampling collected from. Is that only the university kids or random people on the street? Did we collect the random data from all across the country or selected regions etc?
I think books are important because they take you into a world of imagination. Reading has given me ideas and took me into a world of imagination. Just started reading last year. Last year I managed to read 17 books. I would just like to note that most of the books in that list of classics are trash that are not worth your time, much like my 8 books of fiction one of which was on that list.
Most of these books have movies that will consume far less of your time leaving you time to go read books of importance such as books on finance. But it is important to recognize that your reading trash and try to read more books of importance. I read on the average 5 books a week. And no, they are not pocket books, they are novels. I awaken around 4 a. I make good use of the library however, I do purchase used books and donate them to the cancer center.
I only read one book a year or even less I think I should get a life?! I read around books a year. I also read slower and take a lot of notes from each book I read.
I am a big book worm so whenever you see me I usually have a book in my hand. Plus I am a fast reader so that really helps. I read probably around 80 books a year. I also listen to some books here and there when I am driving or mowing the lawn.
Typically a year, I spread my reading material across all genres and love it all. Are you all reading physical books or ebooks? Also how many of those physical books do you still have? What do you do with the book after you have already read it? Probably read 10 to 15 per year, 20 absolute max. Subject matter and book length for sure help determine averages. Unfortunately, books more academically inclined the more pages one will usually encounter.

Luckily I am now retired so that will help me reach my goal? Good lord. You must read really small books. Because at March 14th of this year there were only like 74 days in the year.
One of the smallest books I have read this year was only pages, and had , words. At above average reading speed you would need about 8 hours of above average reading speed to complete it. Im a college student, and full time worker, so I have maybe an hour or 2 a day I can read. How does someone have 6 hours a day to read books?
And why are all of your books so short? A , word book would take an above average reader about 17 hours of straight reading at an above average speed to complete. So either you are a hermit that reads medium size books every day, or you count recipes as books.
I just cross 50 and now i just found out the important of reading Or an Unstoppable Reading Machine? More to the point: does it really matter?
Just like your workout routine, Sunday brunch order and blessed afternoon by the beach, book piles have acquired serious social media clout in recent years. Move in certain Instagram circles and stacks of novels — ideally artfully arranged on a wooden table next to some fresh flowers and a latte soya, obviously — fill entire feeds, alongside familiar hashtags currentlyreading, bookstagram, and the rest. For most of us, this is probably a source of some ambivalence. It can fill you with guilt over your own reading habits or lack of , or it can inspire you to reconnect with an act which is, in many ways, the antithesis of brainless scrolling itself.
