Here's the "poor grad student's perspective' since it doesn't seem to be represented:
I read about 2 books a week on average. What I used to do is go to the local library once a month and bring home a whole stack of books, for no cost, as I can't afford to buy that many paperbacks every month. Now if a particular author was not in my local library, I'd simply end up not reading him.
The internet is a godsend for guys like me :-)
