How many books do you read?

Books

I read probably 3-5 nonfiction books per week and 1-2 fiction books per month. Right now I am reading the Self-Aware Universe by Amit Goswami and The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. I also love the Diana Gabaldon books for pure escape.

My reading obsession began as a child and has continued. Several members of my family are quite similar...perhaps it's genetic.

Carol Anne

 

If you discount what I'm reading for my studies (several books, and tons of articles), I usually get through 4-5 a month. I usually only read one book at a time, although right now I'm reading two: Maynard Solomon's biography of Mozart, and rereading (for the umpteenth time) my favorite novel, The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov.

My favorite genres are (for fiction): espionage (Le Carre and Deighton are favorites), historical fantasy (a la Mary Stewart), twentieth century Russian literature, non-fiction in just about any area, and, okay, I'll admit it: The Harry Potter series! Yes, I'm one of those rapid adult fans.
