I completely agree. If it affects your productivity or other duties, then it's an issue.LivreAmour217 wrote: ↑10 Feb 2015, 16:02 I personally cannot get enough of reading. However, the example that you gave about the woman who neglects her children and housework for reading is an extreme case. In my opinion, this is no worse than watching television or playing video games excessively. Anything causes someone to neglect his/her responsibilities is a problem.

This sums up my thoughts too! As a hobby or pass time it's perfect but should never take over all your timeHeatherEi wrote: ↑19 Oct 2019, 22:17I completely agree.

Basically, if it's negatively impacting you and/or people around you, it's too much. I view it like any other hobby, fine in free time and fine to say no to a social event every once in a while to do the hobby. But if it's not longer staying in your free time, effecting your ability to function, and you're saying no to people you care about every single time, it's too much.
