Alright, who voted that they'd read more than 20 books so far, this year? That's about my yearly average, and I'm generally considered a fast reader (about 530 pages every 35 minutes).

Wow...530 pages every 35 minutes... I can't even comprehend reading that fast...I voted that I have read 20 or more books this year... I really love reading and it is rare that u find me without a book.
Some of the books I have read this year include:
Xanth series by Piers Anthony (again)
Hyperspace by Michio Kaku
Simirillion by Tolkien (again)
Alice in Quantumland.. forgot the author
Alice in Woderland by Lewis Carroll (again)
Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde
Metamorphosis by Kafka
Harry Potter and the Order Phoenix
Europe a concise history by Norman Davies (Still yet to finish)
Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder
Uncle Johns Bathroom readers series

I can't think of anymore... I'm always up for good recommendation so please let me know...:smile:

I've read over 20 books in the past two months, and I don't read that fast. (and if you are reading the fast, I question how much you're absorbing).

It's not hard really, if you're a true "avid" reader, and you have either a nice income or a good local library.
