Sorry, I hope that my questions don't come across as being aggressive - I don't want to be obnoxious, I am really just genuinely curious how you guys manage to read that many books. Myself, I manage to read about 40 to 50 books per year (each having maybe around 200 pages on average). This doesn't include the reading of scientific articles that I have to do for my job. This is just my spare-time reading.

I read 300+ books a year. I work for 7.5 hours a day, have an understanding husband, no children, don't watch tv or movies much and am a loner with no social commitments.
I figured out a long time ago that reading is what makes me happy and spend most of spare time reading.
