That's 50% of my total for 2007. I probably read 20,000 words worth of blog posts a day, though, which makes this survey's numbers look all the stupider. I read three books while I was in Bama.

I average 3 books a week, sometimes more. Currently I am working on Time Magazine's Top 100 Books list. 15 down, 85 to go! Hey, I did more than my fair share this year.
