Do any of you read ten books a month?

For most of my life I read at least a book a week. But I'm going blind and can't read real books anymore.

One of my retirement goals was to reread all those “classics” that were required reading in school. Now I wanted to just get the enjoyment of it plus see if age put a different slant on things. I’m lucky to get one a week read but still try.

I always tend to have a few books on the go. Many novels I get part of the way there then they fall away. Non-fiction I am always reading bits and pieces. Sometimes they become very interesting and I read the whole book.

Just to add, I have been reading Thomas Mann's "Joseph and His Brothers", his own take on the Biblical story. 1500 pages. Very small print, so hard on my eyes. I read it when I am in Oxfam every tuesday. Reached about page 820 so far - I think I've got to the bit where Joseph is going to be seduced by Pharoah's wife!

I read for an hour every night at work before it gets dark. In the winter, reading is my favorite indoor hobby. I have built-in shelves overflowing with books and I regularly trade them in at local roadside book nooks too. Been reading since age 4. One of my passions. When I was off work, I read a book a day.

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.

Pretty much every month -- or more than ten some times.

I have at certain times, but I am so busy during the warmer months that I don't read as much as I do during winter. I always have a stack of books ready to read.

Not anymore, but I did many years ago. For about 4 years, we didn't have a television or Internet. During that time I read about 2 or 3 books a week.

The only time I read 10 books in a month is when I was off my feet with an injury.
2 or 3 a month is usually all I have time for.

That'd be tough to finish reading 10. I think people combine audio and reading as reading.

I sometimes acquire 20+ books a month at used book sales, but getting to them is another story.

Not any more. As a teenager I read two or three hundred pages a day. It takes me most of the week to read the same amount.

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

3-4 books a month for the most part. I don't have time to read 10.

Yes, I read about 13 children short stories book a month

I frequently read twice that number or more.

At least that many most months.

Yeah 10 a month for 9 months

No

I doubt I read 10 books a year

no but i wish i could

I love reading … probably the equivalent of 3 books a month. Last book I was reading was about physics

I personally feel it helps to keep our minds sharp ☺️

I do not. About 95% of my books are instructional.
