I read more than one book at the same time but usually they are very different from each other. For example I usually read a book by a Finnish author and by a foreign author at the same time, or books that are about totally different time. Actually, at the moment I'm reading four books... But...
None of those options is really right for me but I voted casual reader. Though I read much more than 10 books a year. But I can't say how many books I read in a month because it changes so much depending on the month...
My oldest books are not that old, they were both printed in 1945. The other one is Adventures of Huckleberry Finn that I got from my grandfather and the other one is a tiny Finnish-Swedish dictionary that used to belong to my grandfathers sister.
I visit the forum quite often but hardly ever log in. I mostly just read the threads and log in if I have something to say. Well, I've been a member for over a year and written 18 posts so I guess I don't have a lot to say. But that's just me, it's not about this forum. And I've tried to be more...
My first language is Finnish. Besides that I know fluent English, Swedish (I can read and write but I could be a lot better concidering I've learned it for 6 years...). Then I know some German, some words and sentences in Italian and Spanish and few words in French. I hope I can learn more...
I have read a lot as long as I've known how to read (about 12 years). I remember being 7 years old and really excited to read by myself, when my sister still listened to the bedtime stories read by my Mom. I think I first read children's books with big fonts and then moved to such as Nancy Drew...

I don't re-read because there are so many new books to read. And I'm a pretty slow reader so I would feel like I'm wasting my time reading books I've already read, no matter how much I liked them. Though I have thought I could read some book again while I'm reading a new book.
Mostly I read only fiction but there are so many interesting books in our university library. For example many books about art history, anthropology or cultural studies. I've planned to read some of them but so far I haven't been able to decide what to read first x)
"Ranskassa eli 1700-luvulla mies, joka kuului aikakautensa nerokkaimpiin ja vastenmielisimpiin hahmoihin, vaikka moisista ilmestyksistä ei noihin aikoihin ollutkaan minkäänlaista pulaa."
From Perfume by Patrick Süskind.
Sorry, I'm not going to try to translate it ;)
I got the God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. 1€ in our library's "removal" books (don't know if that's the real word for that).
Too bad there's hardly ever anything I would like to have.
