A couple dozen.
If you count finishing volume 1 and taking a break before reading volume 2 as still "reading" then it balloons up to over fifty.

I always start reading a bunch of books at the same time and end up completing only half of them. But I don't regret it though, it's my way of reading.

Similar to these, I read several books at once and then tend to focus on just one until it's finished, it's rare to just read one after the other. I may or may not pick back up the unfinished books.
Currently reading:
The portable Jung - about 300 pages in
The Odyssey - like first 3 books
Quentintinos movie book (after the person who gave it to me asked if I ever finished it)
I started and read a few pages of JR
Religio Medici - almost done, it's short
Foundation by asimov - read the first like 10 chapters.

one usually, two at most. used to do one fiction & one non-fiction but now usually only one. Kind of in a slump right now.

Never more than 3, otherwise I'd retain nothing.

Then some random self-help I fancy to read, sometimes the Bible.
