How many hours a week would you say you get to read?

I think before long, I'll be digging into a book and wonder how often you avid readers get to read. I know some people read faster than others do. Are you a reader who reads more than one book at a time?

Just wondering.

Not nearly enough.

I work full-time and have a long commute. A neighbor and I walk for exercise several nights a week. After I get back in the house, it's after 8:00 and the rest of the night goes too quickly.

The last two Saturday afternoons I have had the pleasure of some uninterrupted time and enjoyed reading in my favorite chair by the window -- with my cat in my lap. I try to read some on Sunday afternoons too.

I could spend HOURS reading!

I read at least 6 hours a day. I keep about 25 books going at a time.

Wow insomniac, that's amazing! I can only keep track of one book at a time. I read about 2 hours daily. But, I do read pretty fast - 100 pages an hour if I'm not interrupted, so most days I get 200 pages done. So far this year, I have read 180 books, and am hoping to pass the 200 mark before December 31st.

I try to read for 30-45 mins each night before bed and on the weekends I usually read about 45 mins Saturday and Sunday while I use the treadmill at the gym.

I usually read before bed, while on the treadmill (at the gym), and sometimes when I'm just relaxing. It is about 5-10 hours a week while I'm working. Now I'm in a book study, so I am reading two books at once (one for pleasure).
