I read somewhere between 200 and 300 books a year. If I managed it, I would be able to read more... ;-D .
While I worked, the count was over and above any work-related reading. I suppose I read obsessively - I read while walking down the street, travelling public transit, wherever and whenever time permits. It used to be that there was always at least one book in my pocket, but these days I carry a whole library of ebooks wherever I go. As for size, most books I read these days are monsters with page counts over 4 or 5 hundred. I've found that over time the length of books has been increasing, with books from the fifties and sixties coming in at page counts of only 2 or 3 hundred.
I'm a pensioner now, but my reading didn't markedly increase when I retired, I just spent more time on other hobbies (and added still more!). Finally, I have a family, and we all read....
