It makes a difference what you are reading. War and Peace would take quite a different amount of time than say reading three harlequin romances in an afternoon. Most science fiction or fantasy novels (except something like Lord of the Rings) can easily be read in a couple days if they are good enough to keep your interest.
What kinds of books do you usually read for relaxation? And do you watch TV?
Those who rarely watch TV have a couple more hours a day to read as do those of us who commute by bus rather than driving and even more hours are free for those who have few family responsibilities.
Actually hours per day of reading instead of number of books might give some interesting information. I generally read at a minimum a couple hours per day and on my days off I can read all day.
