I endeavor to read 40 - 50 books per year. I am woefully behind this year, but that doesn't mean I'm not reading. My scouting job has me speed dating books often - reading just enough to get an accurate impression - so I start a lot of books I don't get to finish. Not in my personal life, though. I still haven't mastered the art of DNF when I book isn't worth it (to me).
