I try to read about a book a month, but it doesn't always work out because I choose such long books. I read The Lord of the Rings a few months ago and now I'm reading The Stand.
I read every day, my phone is full of eBooks, as is my laptop, my shed is full of boxes of old physical books. I usually have two or three books "on the go" at once and swap between them according to mood. I often have a book in one hand while I'm brushing my teeth or making a cuppa with the other. I couldn't go for more than a couple of days without something to read.
Good choice mate, the odd thomas series is fantastic, I try to read every night, it helps me wind down.RipperSU said:
I read practically every day before I go to sleep, in summer times I also like to spend a few hours in the sun with a good book.
At the moment I'm reading The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. It's one interesting book I can say, though not one you would read for some light entertainment.

Depending on how many train-travels I have to undergo five to six books a week if I'm traveling, hardly any if I'm at home (prefer writing then). It's mostly fantasy/star wars related stuff with some occasional world literature (2666, Ifinite Jest... you know the likes) spilled in between.
I read through a book per day, but usually 2-4 parallel.
As of lately, I've been on a real fantasy kick. This week I've finished Kushiel's Scion and Kushiel's Justice, both by Jacqueline Carey, as well as The Heir of Autumn, by Todd Fahnstock and Giles Carwyn.

I read quite a bit, usually just what I have lying around. Currently I'm re-reading Neuromancer, before that it was a horror novel in my own language, before that it was the Death Gate Cycle series. I get my read on often enough. 
Neverwhere is, hands down, one of the most imaginative and creative of any fictional world I've ever encountered. I hope you're enjoying it.UncleUlty said:
OT: I read all the time. I read when my game is loading, when I take a shit, on the bus from school, etc. I read mostly fiction, particularly science fiction, but I'm open to anything.
I constantly feel I should read more. Last book I read was Letters from Iwo Jima which I read last summer and I then started to read Stalingrad; I'm still reading Stalingrad. I keep meaning to put aside some time and read but then tend to watch TV or play a game. My wife reads a heck of a lot and tends to read a book or three a week.
I read pretty continuously, but slowly, as I'm frequently distracted by drawing and video games, both of which I find slightly more fun. It usually takes me between two weeks and a month to finish a book. I enjoy reading sci-fi, fantasy when it's decent, and the occasional Bourne-style mystery. I'm currently working through The Flight of the Horse, a collection of short stories by Larry Niven about time travel and teleportation. Good stuff.
(I assume you're not counting graphic novels, of which I read several a week.)

I read around 2-3 books a week. I love reading, it's awesome. Mostly I read fiction, predominately sci-fi and fantasy, but I've been getting into World War One Literature recently as well.
