When I was a student there was so much reading I HAD to do, that fitting in pleasure reading was rarish (I typically read maybe 3-4 pleasure books during the school year, but then that many a MONTH in the summer.<br /><br />Now I am always reading something, but in the last month, 3 of the books I've read have been pre-published (2 for friends, one my own--preparing for edit) and then 2 published books. So if he doesn't count the beta reading... or if he is a selfish bastard and doesn't DO any beta reading... I definitely read more than 3-4 a YEAR, but 20 a year might not be off if I don't count those...Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450078601022572253.post-32234074361302415872010-09-24T12:33:18.284+01:002010-09-24T12:33:18.284+01:00You do more writerly reading instead of readerly r...You do more writerly reading instead of readerly reading?
