Finding the time to read and deciding what to read next can be very difficult. I've got a bunch of TBR on kindle and my bookcase and can't always figure out what to try next. Thrift stores and online freebies are a blessing and a curse!

I don't like to be disturbed when I'm reading and it's close to impossible in my house. Also, choosing the book because it can either be worth my time or ruin it.

My biggest problem is wanting to read during class, especially during boring ones. Sometimes the book is just too good to put down!

I don't like that liking books/reading is seen as a nerdy/smart thing because I think that turns people off if you bring it up in conversation.

I'm forever on the search for spare time to read, but maybe my timing can seem rude :oops:

My problem is work and the people around me. They would start talking, mom would tell me to do something, some friends would call for help. I am very upset when a day goes by without opening a book.
A joke is to entertain people. If it fails to do so, it's something else!

My main problem is finding time to read, I can see I'm not alone and it makes me feel better. Am I right?

It's so hard to keep up with all the books! Like I'm reading a book but I also want to read three others.

(1) Finding a really good book.
(2) Not being distracted by all the other thoughts in my head, telling me there's more productive things I could be doing with my time.
(3) Finding some silence to read in.

My biggest problem with reading is that I like to read continuously without any break. Otherwise I don't enjoy it so much.

I don't want to end a good book ever. I always wish that every good book i have read or will ever read has an endless series.

I have problems concentrating. More often than not, it's very hard for me to concentrate on what I'm reading. It also depends on my mood; I can't keep my mind on reading if I'm sad or angry.
Despite my efforts to change this (buying noise-cancelling headphones and trying to visit the library everytime I read), I can't get myself to read efficiently.

My biggest problem is not having time to read, either. A runner up to that is I get headaches from reading the kindle app on my phone if I read for too long! 😕
