While I'm neither a fast nor prolific reader in any sense, I do enjoy reading. I should say that to me, reading includes consuming books the old-fashioned way in hardcover and paperback forms as well as digital (Kindle, mostly) and audio. This is the library of books I've read over the last several years, 201 books in total. In the last year, I read 27 books, and 3 books in the last month.
