Lucian Hodoboc Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 How many books would you say you read per year, on average? Is reading more among the things you include in your New Year's resolution? 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxman Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 It depends on the book. I read my last Pat Barker in two days, others may take a bit longer. It also depends on what I'm doing....long train journey tomorrow then two nights in a hotel in the middle of nowhere plus the train journey back...I'll probably take 3 books.

feargal Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I read about 3 a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I don't watch much telly, so books are the thing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hauxwell Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I use to buy the odd book from charity shops. Last year I was walking through the Library and they had a sale on, selling books they no longer needed. I bought a book for 50p and finally got round to reading it just after Christmas. It was very good so I went back to the library looking for more books by the same author to borrow.  It takes me about 2 to 3 weeks to read a book, but I now go to the Library about every six weeks.  I’m ashamed to say I didn’t know how to use the self service machines at first because I’ve never used the Library for years and had to be shown by the librarian.  Reading books wasn’t a new New Year’s resolution, I just happened to enjoy reading a book I bought from the Library sale at the beginning of the year.

willman Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 It all depends, i read a recent release by the author of the dry in 2 days, the last Reacher in 3 days, but i've just read the latest Connelly and it has been a drag to find the time and nearly 3 weeks to complete it.

As a librarian - love this, well done hauxwell! If we don't use libraries, they disappear. Never worry about asking a librarian anything, that is what we are there for.
