I don't know where I would fall in the statistics. I am certainly what was called a "print whore". Reading is a compulsion with me and I hate that I can't manage to read in the shower. I do read while cleaning teeth, while sitting on the throne and while cooking.
But I don't read just books. I subscribe to a whole lot of magazines, many with pretty weighty articles. And I read a lot more on-line. I don't think I read more than 50 books a year on average.
I have only just acquired an ereader and I suppose I am doing what many people do at this stage: loading a few books I've read before. So that doesn't even count as reading new books. Or does it? No-one else seems to have mentioned it.
