These days it's only about 12 to 13 a year, I'm afraid.

I used to read almost double of what I manage nowadays. With work and, admittedly, so many great TV series out there I get around to about 15 a year, whereas that number used to be around 30 just a few years ago.
At least 15 a day, generally the same 15 Every...Single...Day.... I can recite most of them from memory now. Between being a Teacher and reading to my Son there is very little time for actual adult books but I tend to get 2-3 of those in a week.

80 books would be a lot, but I could read "The Picture of Dorian Gray" everyday.
The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame.

In the summer of 2012 I read about thirty books, a list which included Ulysses, War and Peace, Moby-Dick, and so on, but since then I've read about 10 books. Two of those have been over 2,000 pages however, so I don't feel too bad. I'm looking forward to finishing the book I'm reading now, the Jin Ping Mei at 2,600 pages, but next on the list is In Search of Lost Time, so I'll be stuck on that for a while too!
I read a book or two a month.
