My reading habits are sporadic and compulsive. At times I can go for months without reading a book, existing on magazines and fanfiction instead. And then suddenly I manage to squeeze 40 books into one month. I read everything. I mean it. There are only two books (ETA: three as of April 09) that I haven't been able to finish.
My preferred reading material: memoirs, diaries, letters, mystery.
My home library is extensive, and continues to grow, and grow, ... and grow. Family folk are avid readers, too.
(If that's not a cheesy profile ending, then I don't know what is. Eek.)
Note on editions: It's probably of little interest to you, but my eye will twitch forever if I don't put this disclaimer/ note here: 99.999% of time editions displayed on my shelf are incorrect. Most of the classic works I have/ have read in Russian. Most other works I've read in Russian too. Nearly everything that's on the shelf that I've read in English is an ebook.
I keep a half-assed book & other media consumerism blog, Rockstar.
