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.

Ward Cleaver told June, Wally, and the Beaver that he read 3-4 books a week. That's 12 -16 books a month. And he worked on the farm, walked "20 miles a day to school and to the ice house and back". So it can be done, especially by the smartest and most sophisticated people here on SW.

@LoneVoice I do recall Ward admitting that he'd exaggerated quite a bit, about the number of miles he'd walked a day when he was boy.

I had no doubt that it can be done.

@Piper I was watching last night about Beaver's book report on "Treasure Island" . Ward said "when I was Beaver's age I read 3 or 4 books a week." I immediately thought of your post 😂
