How many hours (minutes?) do you typically read in single sitting ( or standing)?
Depends on the book. If it is interesting, I can pull an all nighter.
How many different copies of the same book have you had?
Catcher in the Rye (I have an alarming collection of the book).
How many sick days did you have last year from work or school?
None. My vacation days and summers off don't grant me fully-paid sick days; so, I rarely take them.

How many countries in Europe could you live in if you had to and had no choice? (sorry, for all the parameters and sentence tightening but trying to avoid dismissing answers)

How many superheroes do or did you follow?
Zero. I tried to follow Superman but was lucky to survive the fall.
How many car crashes have you been in?
Two. I rolled a car belonging to my mother at 19 and I had my station wagon rear ended by a co-worker at 27.
No injuries in the first one (ah, the days of youth!) but I was hurt quite a bit in that rear ending.
How many times have you received a driving ticket?
if we count a car crashing into a mailbox, then one.
if we are talking motor vehicles (so including motocycles), then two.
if we are talking bicycles too---at high speed, three more (and one was into a car! and the other two were in the same race)
how many feet (or meters) high would be the highest youd be willing to jump off from into a safe pool of water below?
Assuming that "safe" means deep enough from wherever I'm diving from, I don't know, maybe twice the height of a regular pool board. I love diving because it feels like flying under water, but I don't get any special thrill from heights. For me it's about the freedom, not adrenalin or risk.
How many times have you been to Washington, DC?
