126 subscriptions.
How often I read them depends a lot on how busy I am-- at the moment, I am visiting family, so I don't get to read many at all. I would like to try to read them the day a new post is published, but lately that hasn't been so realistic!
Do I ever get overwhelmed? Oh hell yeah-- I'm trying to start being more at peace with my Google Reader, and realize that I don't need to pressure myself to read every single post. Blogging is meant to be a hobby, not a source of guilty!
All time favourite subscriptions? This is a hard one, because I try to make sure I show different ones love when I don't have as much time. I do love me my homegirl Distracted Spunk, though, and I miss Damsel in Digress!

over 150, but that also includes numerous graphic design blogs, art blogs, and techy stuff. i try to go through half of them every day so i don't end up with 1000 unread items. if it gets that high, i just read the first few sentences of the blog and see if i want to continue reading the entire thing. i don't have a personal fave, but i do love LifeHacker.

Not that many really compared to some people. Maybe fifty or so.
I read a few daily the rest a couple times a week.
My fav subscriptions vary.

I subscribe to 225 and I try to read every day. Every once and a while things will get out of hand and I'll pull a "Mark All as Read", but I try to keep up with it so that it doesn't drive me crazy.
I have about 10 blogs that are in my "daily" folder and I go for them first.

161; every day! and as much as I can humanly handle; absolutely; predictably, everything in my favorites folder. A smattering of personal, tech and gadgets, music, art, web development, and productivity blogs.

I've just recently set up my google reader again, and now I've realised I can read them in work I try and catch up a bit on my lunch hour and when I'm in early. At the moment I probably have around about thirty or forty - all the ones on my blogroll and a couple more I'm on the verge of adding to my blogroll. I try and read all the ones that interest me.

I don't use an RSS reader. Yeah, I keep it "old skool" and just click on the links to my favorite blogs that I've linked on my blog. I tend to get a little overwhelmed keeping up with more than a few blogs, so because of that and of course limited free-time, I tend to just read one or two other blogs on a regular basis.
Lately, I have a liking to NYC freelance writers. I do love reading someone who can write...really, really write and does it exceptionally well.

I have just over 240 subscriptions. I check my reader every day. Sometimes it takes me a few days to get it down to zero, but if it's a slow day, I can knock them all out in a couple of hours. At times it is overwhelming, especially when people post 3, 4 or even 5 times a day.
I read all of my Chicago bloggers' blogs daily. I also have a folder of "favorites" in my reader that I make sure to check daily as well.

You read 240 blogs a day and you spend a couple hours each day to get thru them all? Where do you ever find the free-time for that? I barely have enough time in my day to eat! I often end up eating my dinner past 9:00 at night if I even get a chance to sit down to a meal.
Tell me your secret!

About fifty or so and there are a few I make sure I read or catch-up on if I get behind. I really do try to avoid the mark all as read button - I feel so guilty, it's the goody-two-shoe part of me.

Wow. I thought I had a ton and was becoming somewhat obsessive, but after reading the below comments I feel like a "baby" blogger....lol. I have about 63 subscriptions that I catch up on daily.
