How often do you read?

Post by Emy Katherine »

I read everyday,I especially love reading a book in a foreign language because being a language student I try to turn my hobby into my work and reading a book in a foreign language helps me to improve my language skills!!! :techie-reference: :D

I read and write every day, most days. As anyone else, I have other things in my life, but reading and writing are essential to me.

I have a 40 minute subway commute to/from work, which is usually when I read. I love to read, but without that commute I find it's hard to make the time. Chores/work/gym/socializing always seem to get in my way!

For me, reading and writing are critical elements in my life. I think I'd go nuts if I weren't able to write, to work on my novels, write reviews too. And of course, reading is essential to that, as well.

My goal is to read daily, although with a toddler and a very needy cat-it doesn't always happen. :lol2:

I read every day. In fact, when I haven't read for several hours due to life, I actually crave curling up with a book and getting lost in the story. I would have to say that I find I read a lot more at night when the house is quiet and I should be sleeping!!

I try to read every day but on many days I find I only have time just before going to sleep. I CAN NOT READ WELL WITH ... what am I shouting for ??? .... oops, accidentally hit the caps lock ... I cannot read well with distractions around me and it is difficult lately to find a peaceful setting in which to read other than at home.

I used to read 1 or 2 books a week. It was my favorite way to pass time! Then things like work and kife got in the way. I recently gave birth to my first born and now I have much more quiet time at home. I can't wait to start reading again!

I read every day. I try to read a minimum of 50 pages in a book. I read a lot of online articles. What can I say? I'm addicted. I also tend to go off on research tangents.

If life doesn't get in the way, I read everyday, and as long as I can.
