My actual reading was down a bit (-10%) this year, and I "bought" more books than I read. But many of those books were freebies, so my total spending was down. Though I did get a bit of a hit in both spending (up) and reading (down) with the acquisition of several "reference" works. These are books such as knitting books or cook books that I refer to, may do an actual recipe out of, but don't actually sit down and read.
