How do you stack up?

Over One-Third of Americans Read More Than Ten Books in Typical Year

I read more than 10 books in a typical month, so what percentile does that put me into?

The article is based on a Harris Poll survey. I wouldn't be surprised if I have an invitation to take it sitting in my inbox. Pity I didn't. :)

The article/survey outlines the results based on age and gender and has a breakdown of genre as well. Unfortunately, there's no 'fantasy' listed, so it's anyone's guess if people clicked 'science fiction' or 'other fiction' for that.

I wish they'd broken down the genre reading by age and not just gender.

A few years ago, I started keeping track of what I read. Since it can't get added to the list until I finish it, it's helped me finish more and abandon less. But there's some books that just don't deserve to be finished.

It hasn't stopped me from having several books going simultaneously, however.
