Personal Reading Record

Looks like I'm not the only one that had a bad year in 2010. I read 40 last year and my best year 2007 with 137.
 
I once interviewed someone who polished off 350 books in a year. I thought he miscalculated or misspoke. Nope. A book a day on average. Editor, author, and a professor at Brown University teaching Literature. That was the first time I heard that it was even possible to reach such a number.

Someone I know closer to home did 300 a year once.

These are numbers I can only dream to hit. In fact, even 50 is a dream for me.
 
300 books in a year is beyond my reach, too. I think I would have to dedicate my entire year to eating, sleeping and reading.
 
I topped 200 last year, most of them being audio books. If you want to read more and don't have time, give audio books a try. Just load them to a MP3 player and listen whenever possible. You'd be surprised how much "free" time you could squeeze out of your day.
 
I read 61 books in 2010, a personal best. I agree with tomeraider...I started listening to audio books last summer, so it really allowed me to read many more books than I could have otherwise. In 2009, I only read 25 books.
 
I read 78 books in 2010. I have read 73 so far this year and I'm hoping to read at least 100 books this year! :D
