When I was in school all my reading was done on my two week breaks from classes between the semesters

I only got in about 30-40 during spring semester. But I hit my 6 month goal of 55 by July. I had so much reading to do for my actual classes. (And with next semester, 1 textbook us 680 pages)

When I was a student, likely 20 a month (once I became a college professor that number inevitably went up).

When I was in college I only got to about 4 books a month for pleasure. Pretty much one book a week was all I could fit in because I was so busy or studying

I’m wondering the same… trying to juggle work school and my reading obsession

I’ve switched to audiobooks during the school year and so I get through maybe 1 a week. If I’m reading though i can usually finish 2 in a week but I usually ignore schoolwork that way. Audiobooks are a great option for me because I can listen while doing my laundry, riding my horse, or while at work. That way I don’t ignore my homework for a book. The only reason it takes longer for a audiobook is because the narrators read slower than me and I usually won’t listen to a book in public but I will read in public

I always speed the book up. Listen at 1.4 or however high I can before I can’t understand it.

@Emily maybe I should try that. I always thought it would warp the voice to much

Usually none. I’m going to try really hard this quarter to get in at least 80 pages before bed.

It depends on the semester. I got a lot done this past spring semester, like 35 books or so, but during this past summer semester I think I only read 1 book?

I do a lot of audiobooks. I have a 20 min commute I listen to them during that.

Too many. That we want to kill ourselves for making us read the most uninteresting books in the English literature.

When I was in college eons ago I still read to fall asleep. So 10-30 minutes. So I might make it through one book during a semester.

Depends on the semester really. I am not a college student (we don’t have that), but a University student and I study law, which is a lot of raw material, codes, etc. (Pretty boring stuff ???) During my finals there was so much to read that I only managed 3 or 4 books in 3 months and 2 audiobooks. At the end of the day I just didn’t want to look at words anymore. ??????

I aim for one per week. This will be a challenging semester. I might not hit my goal. It’s okay, though. Grades are important.

It’s hard. I try to read maybe 30 minutes a day. Usually I have a lot of texts and articles to read for classes and it’s so hard to find time to pleasure read. I love the summer months when I can just read to my hearts content lol

1100 pages of hard science a week for 5 undergrad years = about 7 books a week.
