Several hundred, I’d wager. I love used bookstores and the library.
Right now scifi is my bag, and I’m running down a lot of stuff suggested by a YouTube channel called Quinn’s Ideas (I think that is the name). Just started the Three Body Problem series on his rec.
I also built a new PC and got back into World of Warcraft so reading a lot of their trashy novels too, or I plan to anyway.
55-75. I’m halfway through my 16th of this year. Kind of missed a week due to the flu.
My favorites so far this year are Stephanie Storey’s 2 books, The Queen’s Gambit by Walter Tevis, Erasure by Percival Everett, and currently reading A Song for Arbonne by Guy Gavriel Kay (my favorite author).
The book I’m 100% set to read is When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi.
I read audiobooks during my daily walk, which takes a little over an hour. Most books I read are between 8 to 12 hours long, so a quick back of the envelope calculation would suggest something like 30-40 books a year.

Not very many.
I’m reading “on tyranny” by Timothy Snyder and “stiffed” by Susan Faludi based on recommendations from YouTube videos I watched.
The last fiction book I read was a short story called “the most dangerous game”

I read about a thousand pages a month, so maybe 3-4 on average. But this varies-I’ve been working on the same 1,200 page book for almost 3 weeks.
I’d say it’s 100% non-fiction: 50% related to my main hobby, 25% related to my job, and 25% related to politics
How the hell do you guys read so much? I’d love to read infinitely times more than I do now (which is none lol) but I’m slow at reading
hundreds, though most of my reading is non-fiction. I recently started reading The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica
1-2
