I average about 1-2 a week, generally fantasy/scifi or mountaineering history (I know, what a shock)
anyone else a prolific reader? Or are book the devil?

Yeah now that I'm not playing any MMOs or anything, 1-2 a week. Just download tons of stuff off the net, or borrow them from the public library for my e-reader and go to town.

My kindle sees alot of use for non mountaineering books. I'm an odd duck when it comes to books about mountains, I like to have hard copy. Everything else goes on the Kindle...

1 a week, usually.
But I've been sick the last week or so, so I haven't read as much as I'd like to.

I used to read a lot when I was younger. Once I hit my 30's, only certain books actually made me get them and read them. I'm actually waiting for this second season of GOT to finish so I can start the first 2 books. I'm a big fan of Dean Koontz, last one I read from his was 'The Reaping'. He's got recent ones that I don't have interest in, so I haven't bothered...same with Stephen King.
Looking forward to staring Martin's GOT books.

i go between 1-2 a week to about 5-7 a week. it really depends on my mood at the time, the size of the books, how easy or difficult they are to read and my pain levels at the time. (cuz if i have to take a lot of percs i'm stuck with tv or games instead.)

I'm also a nut for sci-fi and fantasy novels, but sometimes spice it up with historical non-fiction. I'd say my rate is about two a month. That's not counting the short fiction digests and pulps I tend to read at the gym. Wish I had time to read even more. Infinitely more rewarding than 99% of TV.

Not necessarily 'regularly', but I do enjoy a book every so often.
The bad thing is, that if I like the book, I have a hard time putting it down. I've ended up reading 4-5 hours after I should have been asleep many times. To go along with that, and what kind of helps, is that I read very quickly. For instance, I picked up Anne Rice's 'Wolf Gift' (400 or so pages) Sunday around midnight and was done by 7am or so. I've read the hunger games over a weekend as well.
I'm going to be re-reading King's Dark Tower series here in the next month so I can get the new one in between 4 and 5 where it's supposed to go, and probable GoT 1 and 2 at least when the series starts up again.
