I read a lot of fanfiction, which is usually measured in word counts. Last week, one of my favorite authors posted a new story that was 190,000 words. I'd count that as a book. Yesterday, another author I like posted a new story that's 8500 words. I don't think I should count that as a book. But if she posts several of them in a series, is that a "book?" And on the other hand, Fictionwise & Smashwords both sell "books" that have less than 5000 words in them.
When my tastes were more settled on mainstream books, I read about 2-5 per week, depending on how much leisure time I had. I read the same amount now, but it's harder to describe.
