Hi, there
Today is April 5, 2018. If I want to ask someone how many books he read/have read in 2017 from, , should I say "How many books have you read in the last year?" Or "How many books did you read last year?"
Thank you

"how many books did you read last year?" also works as a question.

hi you can use either way. the form have you read usually is used for actions that still continue in the present. like i have read 5 books so far. but colloquially i hear it a lot, "have you read in the last year?"because it indicates a timeframe that includes the entire year. when you say how many books did you read last year? it just refers to last year in general, vs " in the last year " that means more so " throughout the entire year " .
I hope you understand
