I've never tried to count it. I'd have to say over 40, but beyond that can't estimate. I try to do a couple a week.
Of course, I long ago came to the conclusion that
buying books and
reading them were seperate and distinct pleasures, so I neededn't feel guilty about buying six and having time to read two...
(Yes, it's a sophistry, but it works for me.)
Those who see my library tend to say "Wow! How many of those books have you read?", and the answer is "About half of them." Of course, a lot are reference works you don't exactly sit and read cover to cover.
