Class 1: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16

Class 2: 1, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 11, 11, 12, 13, 18

For Class 1, the median is the middle value when the numbers are arranged in ascending order. Since there are 15 values, the median is the 8th value, which is 9.

For Class 2, the median is also the middle value when the numbers are arranged in ascending order. Since there are 15 values, the median is the 8th value, which is 9.

Therefore, both Class 1 and Class 2 have a median number of books read of 9.
