I read 22, and if you count the one I finished last night - most of which I read in December - then that makes 23. About the norm for me, I'm not a fast reader and it would have been an even lower total, probably around 15, if I hadn't started commuting again and read some very easy-to-read books to pass the journey.
Actually I think 20 is a very low estimate to classify someone as a bookaholic!

The final countdown: How many books did you read in 2010
I never remember to keep a formal log, so I don't know the exact total. I reviewed 23, and I'd guess the total would be about 40 - 50 (not counting work).

They're definitely going to need to revisit that "extreme bookoholic" definition!

Based on books I finished, going from my Reading Log and adding a few I know I read, I have about 20.
Far fewer than I wish it had been. But it was a difficult year. This year will be better...I hope. I certainly plan on visiting the library more often (for the classics, at least they have some of them).

I think I logged almost 150, but I didn't log all of my junk food reads, so it was at least 30 books over that. This is a lot for me... I'm not a particularly fast reader, but I indulged myself in quite a few popcorn reads with my eReader this year. Roughly 60 of the total were print books and the rest were eBooks.
