I used to read a lot but never really have the extra time anymore.

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 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 used to read nearly 80 books a year. Slowed down a bit.
