I love to read, I always have a book I’m reading.  My father was a huge fan of reading, he always said I don’t care what you read, just read.  As a kid I read comic books, then went to Nancy Drew books, then I just kept reading.  I’ve passed my love of reading to my daughters.

When I was a kid I used to read almost all of my waking moments. Nowadays. I probably read a few times a week. When  I was a kid, though, there wasn't as much for an indoorsy-type person to do other than listen to music, watch TV, or read. Now there's the Internet and gaming and work-from-home gigs, etc., and they now occupy my time like reading did when I was a kid.  :peace: :star:

I typically pick up reading and get back into it whenever I have the free time! Recently I haven't been able to find the time for reading

Yes I've been reading almost every day now.  I just sit in the yard in my favorite lounge chair while I get  my vitamin D.

When I was younger, I used to read voraciously. I used to visit the library on a regular basis and would come out with 10 - 15 books. Nowadays, with a busy work schedule, I do not have as much time to read. In the few minutes that I do, I love to curl up with a good mystery novel.

I love to read!  Reading takes you on an adventure, to a different world, or a different time and place.  My favorite is historical fiction.  I'm fascinated by history and how people used to love.  I am always reading a book and have my next book already picked out before I finish.  It's a great way to unwind at the end of a busy day!

I wouldn't say I love to read but every now and then, I'll indulge in a novel or graphic novel.

I am a reader, always have been.  I was a librarian for 34 years.

I read all the time when I carve out time to do so.

I love to read and always have. I had read every book in my elementary school library before starting sixth grade. My father was an attorney and if I had nothing to read I would read his case files. I am reading two books right now: "Daily Self Discipline" by Martin Meadows which is a refresher on many things that I do but also is expanding some of my goals; I am also reading "The Power of Zero" by David McKnight which I hope will help me in my quest to pay less taxes. I reread Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" last month and am always amazed at how timely her words always seem to be even thought the book was written over fifty years ago. I also read "The Nomad Capitalist" by Andrew Henderson, last month, which inspired me to apply for dual citizenship in several countries as well as establish a few additional businesses.

I have trouble remembering what i have read.
I have recently discovered audible books and am enjoying listening to them. :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

     I love reading...but I do not waste my valuable time on complicated books/materials.
I love to read "summaries" because they are educational but not time consuming.

I love to read and it is one of the things I  have been doing more of, since being under stay at home orders.

I read online so it's easy to see and I can add to my penny collection to have more pocket money, but books are not on my agenda.

I have been borrowing  e books from the library.  Now that I am not going out as often I have more time to read. :)

I do love to read, but sometimes just cant get into it. I need a complete quite place, no tv, people talking, radio playing etc. So only read before bed.

I can go months of not reading, or months of nonstop reading

I was a voracious reader as a kid, but the assigned reading in high school knocked the love of reading right out of me. I never seem to have much time for it even though I want to try to get back into it.

I do read a lot.  Just not actual books.  I am luck to get 2 read in a year.  I am so used to reading things on line that not having a light behind the pages bothers me.

Put me in the voracious reader column. I keep trying to get smarter. Wish me luck. :sweat:

I love to read, usually more in the winter and less in the summer. But lately, I can't seem to concentrate on what I'm reading. Too much stress, I guess.   :(

I was reading then I stopped. I need to find a good book and start again.

I read about 2 books a year. I use to read much more often but surveys take up all my time now and it is nice to make some money.

I wish I had more time to read books - I read a lot of articles and stuff but that isn't the same - I have been able to spend a little bit more time during this pandemic which has been good. I enjoy lots of variety of books.

When I was young my mother would say if anyone saw me going into the bathroom with a book they better not have to use the restroom any time soon I read ALL the time now the problem is my eye sight - I either have to have large print books or have considered audio books.  So other than my bible which is large print I don't read much anymore.

I try to read a few pages of my book before I go to bed each night.  I'm currently reading Shania Twain's biography and it's fascinating.  But for all you who are into audiobooks, I highly recommend "Outlander."  The reader of that book couldn't get any better at her craft if she tried. Also, the author wrote a spellbinding plot that keeps you listening! My husband and I have listened to all 8 books of the series, twice!!!

I love to read.  I usually read at least one book per week.  I like to actually read a book and not read online books.  I like the same of a book.

I really like to read, but I don't seem to make time for it. I also have problems picking out what I want to read.

On occasion I will pick up a book and read but not that often
