Another poll. This one's on reading habits, and for no better reason than because I'm shamelessly curious.

For the purposes of this poll, I'm counting physical books, audiobooks and ebooks of the type you would read in an ebook reader. I'm not counting stuff you read on the web, not because I don't think it's 'real' writing but because I think there's considerably less deliberateness -- one of the beautiful things about the Internet, to me, is that you can spend thirty minutes clicking around and wind up reading about quantum physics or the history of cheese without really realizing how you got there. Which is awesome! But doesn't really say much about what you prefer to read.

EDIT: And I'm counting manga and Western graphic novels that have been collected into books. Basically, as meganbmoore put it, if it has a spine, I count it.



[Poll #1167420]

EDIT: I meant to mention manga and graphic novels under Fiction, and Politics under Non-Fiction, and then I goofed and didn't. Whoops.

Yeah, I was figuring a monthly or even yearly average, because I'm the same way (though to a lesser degree). Some days I don't read anything, some days I plow through a half-dozen books. And it obviously depends on the books, too -- if I'm on a historical nonfiction kick and the books are all 300 pages of dense, I average lower than if I'm reading manga and young adult fantasy.
