I’m so busy being self employed I read about 20 a year, but some of those are not cover to cover because they’re text books or something like that, so I’m only reading the parts I’m interested in, so maybe a fairer average is 15. It’s hard to keep track. When I was in high school I was averaging one book a day. I skipped class to read because I didn’t feel I was getting enough from my classes. I read on my awful school bus because it took my mind of the crowding, the smells, and fighting (my bus was full of wild animals) I read in class, anything to take my mind off my surroundings. I kept that average up for about two years, didn’t read much in the summer because I couldn’t get any books then. At the time I was boycotting TV also, so that helped me get more reading in. Even after I dropped out of high school I was reading as many as I could find. By that time I was kinda stranded in the Virgin Islands where the only place my dad woudl get me books was this tiny used book store. I read whatever I could get. When I ran out of what I liked, I’d read a few of my mom’s romance books. In college I read parts of the library I was interested in by section. I wish I’d just studied on my own, my tuition money was a waste, I learned far more by reading (and watching videos). MI Zac, when I read a book I see it in pictures also! What kinds of books is everyone reading? Why do you all read?
