I managed to read 40 or so in 2014 and got 2015 off to a good start. I read Murakami's The Wind Up Bird Chronicle in May and that bloody book fucked with my head so much I barely read anything else all year.
For the best part of 6 months I've started several books and not managed to get past a couple of chapters. I recently read another Murakami (Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki) and finished it. Hurray - slump is over.
I'm now half way through Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell and starting on War & Peace. No way will I get anywhere near 40 books for the year though.
