I never tracked closely; I conservatively estimated 250+, because I read five to 10 a week.
I rarely read books that aren't professionally edited; personal preference. It's expensive to buy that many books. Up till a few years ago, I used to get many, many books for free or for next to nothing, because of the type of editing I did. Now, I pay retail, so I'm really glad Gutenberg books have become easily portable. I used to read 'em on netbook, which was a pain.
I don't find it a big deal to read many books. It's something I've done since childhood. You do something that long, it's not surprising you become fast at it. There's no advantage outside of work, though. For leisure reading, it costs you more. I prefer nonfiction, which tends to be pricier, argh.
