Some folks here read a book a day! Maybe I can do that when I retire but that's a fair ways off still. I do occasionally read books in one sitting but it does mean sacrificing sleep. Typically I read 1-2 books a week depending on the length, the density, and what's going on in my life. My husband easily reads twice that. The books he reads do tend to be more plot driven, though, and he was trained to speed read in school. He's said he thinks that I often get nuances he misses on the occasions where we do read the same book. I envy people who can read as fast as he does and absorb everything. I always have more books on my wish list than I can ever get through. Personally, I really enjoy the rhythm of words and hear them in my head which does tend to slow me down. I also go back and reread passages here and there.
