Do any of you read ten books a month?

I know that many here enjoy reading, whether for knowledge, pleasure...or both, like most of us who enjoy reading books. I got wondering how many here do actually complete reading that many books a month, due to a question I noticed someone else asking recently.

I don't think I have ever come close to that. And I do enjoy reading.

@DrWatson Same for me, on both counts.

Those many years I worked in and helped run a bookstore, I had to strip the covers off paperbacks and discard the 'guts'. I really disliked having to do that, except for certain kinds of books. Many of those were 'thin' enough to very easily read 10 or more in a month, for those who wished to.

@Piper Why did you have to do that?

@DrWatson Because when the books had not sold, room had to made for new and or different ones. The publishers required proof that the books were not being resold, I think, and some credit was given to the company for the covers.
