I read fairly constantly. Between a huge library at school, free kindle classics, and everyone knowing that books are my favorite type of gift, I always have plenty of stuff that I haven't gotten to yet.

I'm also a nut for sci-fi and fantasy novels, but sometimes spice it up with historical non-fiction. I'd say my rate is about two a month. That's not counting the short fiction digests and pulps I tend to read at the gym. Wish I had time to read even more. Infinitely more rewarding than 99% of TV.

I'll go on little spurts where I read 2-3 books a week for like a month and then go a few months without reading one, then read do it again with new books

There's almost always a book lying around on our nightstand tables (mine and the wife's). And it's fiction, usually some Tom Clancy or Clive Cussler style book.

If by "regularly" you mean, while sitting on the toilet, then yes.

Not necessarily 'regularly', but I do enjoy a book every so often.

The bad thing is, that if I like the book, I have a hard time putting it down. I've ended up reading 4-5 hours after I should have been asleep many times. To go along with that, and what kind of helps, is that I read very quickly. For instance, I picked up Anne Rice's 'Wolf Gift' (400 or so pages) Sunday around midnight and was done by 7am or so. I've read the hunger games over a weekend as well.

I'm going to be re-reading King's Dark Tower series here in the next month so I can get the new one in between 4 and 5 where it's supposed to go, and probable GoT 1 and 2 at least when the series starts up again.

Hey Norm, you hear about the studies being done at Johns Hopkins about the Y chromosome of persistent bar troublemakers?
Yeah, they found a striking similarity between that and chronic droolers and idiots.
