I'd say generally between one and three a week, which is a fuck of a lot, until you consider that I DO read a hell of a lot of shit (usually when I'm working nights, cos in between the getting pissed and sleeping I tend to forget stuff, therefore for those weeks I try to pick something "sleazy, cheesy and easy" as a friend of mine would say).
Actual decent, quality books I would have no qualms in recommending to people, or would understand why other people liked them even if I thought they were poo... probably about twenty to thirty. Having said that, I've been slowly getting through "Moby Dick" for most of the year, and have now comprehensively crippled that worthy effort by starting Herodotus' "Histories", which is fucking ace, but not exactly a page-turner when you're tired.
And in terms of the whole "average year" thing, I read less decent stuff now than I used to, for the simple reason that I work less days and closer to home than I used to, hence less time on buses (other than sitting on the toilet or lying in bed, the BEST reading time there is). |
