How often do you read? -
January 22nd 2010, 07:52 AM
I was just wondering as i NEVER read I am really not interested in books, I have never been able to comprehend things and the only books I like are kids ones. The only thing I ever read are magazines, I just like real life stories about crazy things that happen to people. I cant stand a romance novel or even biographies about people who lived 5000 years ago or whatever!
Anyway like alot of my friends LOVE to read, they read heaps! And I was just wondering how often you read? I am a Proud Kiwi =)

I EAT books. Literally. I always have a book or two on the go and I literally get sort of hungry for a book if there's nothing to read. LOVE reading.

Over and hour every day or a little bit each day.
It depends on the day and the book. If it is a good book then an over an hour a day. If I am busy or tired I won't read as much but I usually read a bit anyway. I usually read before going to sleep, I will also take a book with me for free lessons in school. The only time I don't read as much (for enjoyment) is around exam time because then I am studying too much and reading distracts me ![]() My school has a terrible library but there is a public library across the road, I have been known to pick up a book on the way into school, read it, (usually over lunch hour) and take it back at the end of the day. The people who work there know me because I am there so much. They even keep books to one side if they think I will like them

I bring a book or two with me everywhere, so I usually read at least an hour a day. Lovelovelove reading.
I read less when school is going on just because all the reading for school bogs me down. xD |

i'm not gunna lie.. not that often, i'm afraid. idk.. i just lose interest really easily. i'll start a book and love it for the first few chapters then give up. i'm a very hyper sort of person and i can't sit still reading lol.
apart from if it's a book i have to read for school then i usually give up half way.

i wish i was one of those people who just love reading. i hardly ever read on my own and its very rare that i finish a book haha. but i usually love the novels i have to read for school, i guess i just have to kinda force myself to give certain books a try. but i love reading magazine and short articles. maybe i just get turned off by a book being so long or something lol

Books tend to bore me. The only books I can safely say I found interesting was the Harry Potter series. It took me 8 months overall to read The Goblet of Fire too.

Very rarely. Sometimes there will be time where I pick up a book and then I'll read it in a day or two, however that's not very often. I don't usually have the time [If I was reading, I'd rather be reading something for school] and I don't have much of an attention span. My concentration is terrible. xD

Unless I'm really busy, I read a bit every day. I've always got a book on the go, but how quickly I read it depends how much I like it.
Maybe it's not my weekend but it's gonna be my year.

I use to read more when I had the chance to go to the Library but at the moment, it is once in a while. I have a stack of books sitting in my room unread that I need to look through. Maybe I will start up again soon.

Depends on the book.
For example when Harry Potter 7 came out I stayed up really late so I could read it in less then 24 hours. But I have a book I'm reading now that's taking me a couple of weeks because although I like it I can only read when I'm in the mood. |

I read whenever I get the chance. So anywhere from 15 minutes a day +. I used to read a lot when I was little but now most of my time is being spent up with school and things.

Re: How often do you read? -

I put a little bit everyday but it is probably more like an hour everyday.
I love to read so damn much! Haha but when I am in school I sometimes don't have time too. Which really sucks. But, I try to read at the least a chapter a day. I don't know what it is about reading but it just makes me feel so free and whole and it is so dang entertaining. If it were not for all the books I have read in the past I don't think I would be alive. I know that sounds lame but whenever I was really down I was able to pick up a book (a lot of the time) and just escape into a new world for a while. I always felt so much better after reading. I hope to be a writer one day too and I figure the best way to get really good at it is by practicing and reading reading reading. Jenna There could never be amore beautiful you

When school is in session, I find it difficult to find the time to read as I would like to. However, over the summer and breaks, I tend to read for atleast three full hours a day.

I usually read about an hour before I go to sleep, but if it's a really good book, I can stay up all night and not even notice how long it's been (once I stayed up until three in the morning, and I thought it was only around eleven o.o)
My friends think I'm the strong one who never cries; truth is, I cry myself to sleep because I wish somebody would see that I'm really breaking on the inside. |

A little bit each day, it was an hour or three per day until I got a bigger work load at uni. Although, if we're counting textbooks as well as pleasure reading then I still read a few hours a day.

Whenever the mood takes me. I can't read a book if I don't feel like reading, it'll take me forever to finish a page but if I fancy it, I can spend all day reading and make it through a few books till I don't feel like it anymore.

I love reading. Though, I'm kinda.... into the vampire scene. NOT SPARKLES. he hehe. Sparkles. :L
Thank you alex.Anyhooo. Yeah, I read. Vampire books, mainly. For example: I'm usually on my computer. Yesterday, I was sitting on the floor of my living room, listening to Kerrang! on the TV and reading/writing. Pfft. I need to do that more often. No one cares about me. So why should I care?

I LOVE reading, but lately I've been feeling like I have nothing to read. I mean, I do not know which book to choose -I've tried some kinda boring ones, and they have taken me away from the libraries. So this Saturday I decided to start with something that I already know, something nice, something that I love -took HP1 and HP2 and read them
I'll try to re-read the whole series before I start my classes again, then buy new stuff (though I'll have loads of college stuff to do, but it's okay anyway).
