Yes. One a week or thereabouts. Mostly best seller type books like from John Grisham, David Baldacchi, Clive Cussler, etc.

I read only sf or fantasy books... I have more than enough reality so I don't need to read about reality.
lately? the last book I read was The Gods Themselves by Asimov, was really really good. one of the best sf books I've read so far, equal in its quality to his Robots epic. looking forward to read "I, Robot" sometime soon, of course I've already seen it in the cinema.
now reading Dune: The Machine Crusade... nice story also.

I, Robot the book is nothing like the movie, just so you know. The book is a bit funnier.

As for a good fiction, read The Da Vinci code if you haven't already. Unless you're a Christian Zealot.
Then you'll either lose all your faith or turn into a Super Defensive Nuttso Extremist Christian Zealot.

If your into sci-fi, I'm currently reading The Belgariad series by David Eddings. It's pretty
good. A lot like LoTR but in 5 books, and no elves .

Sadly, just re-reading my Terry Pratchett Discworld collection! Just getting into some Stephen E. Ambrose books - he's the guy who wrote the book Band of Brothers is based on
