Over dinner this evening my wife and I were talking about how different our reading styles are. She, partly because of the nature of her job, tends to read four or five non-technical books at a time, and has no problem keeping them straight. I, on the other hand, tend to read one book at a time, and read it in a relatively short period of time. On average, we probably read the same amount, but in a very different manner.
Also, this study was interesting, I thought, though it was depressing to see how little people actually read these days.

The survey 2,000 adults also found those who take a long time to read books and only managed one or two a year were twice as likely to be male than female.
Men are also more likely to have shelves full of books that have never been opened.
How do you guys tend to read?
