20 books is actually really low for me, especially in a month that included nearly 2 weeks of vacation - on the other hand, I have moved from the 'reading mindcandy, even when it's really fun' into the 'reading stuff that actually requires some brain'.
(in comparison: 24 books in January, 31 in February.)
I read *really* fast - I come by it naturally (it's actually how my parents met) and I've gotten plenty of practice. I read for at least 30-45 minutes before bed almost every night, another 20+ minutes in the bathtub, and when I'm not up for much else, can easily go through 2-3 books on a weekend day at home if they're light reading. Non-fiction generally takes me longer, but even popular non-fiction tends to go fairly fast.
I am, incidentally, really pleased that my fiction/non-fiction ratio has stopped being quite so skewed: in January, it was 21/3, and in February 28/3, and in March, we're back to a more reasonable 15/5.
