I like to read...that is magazines that is!! I also read a lot of information online from news articles and just about anything that I research online everyday. I say I average about 1-2 hours a day reading. I also read books to my son who loves to read. He is 4 years old and can read already!! I am extremely proud of him!!  :thumbsup:

When I was in school I had to read many books. I was in the Pizza Hut Book-It programs and I always was a top reader in my class. I loved getting those personal pan pizzas for free!! Haha!!  :P

I used to enjoy reading a lot. I used to be in a book club and all that. Nowadays I mostly read magazines or online articles.

With me, It is about the book and the author! I have probably read about 20 books in my lifetime, not really a big reader, my wife reads that many in about 3 months! The book really has to interest me and the writer has to keep my interest! I have read about 4 in the past year, more than I have read in any given year. I guess I am picking the right books lately that interest me!

I love to read especially romance books.  My daughter also gets me to read books like Harry Potter, House of Night, Secret Circle, and the Twilight series.

If i am noton the computer, and have nothing else to do i would rather read the watch tv. Even though hubby may have it on, i will look up at it once in awhile and goback to reading.So much of the tv program are crap and i am not interested in the hunting show, ( Hubby is) or the football games.  I like the dyi shows though.

I absolutely love reading, but finding time to do it without distractions can be tricky. So I've taken to reading more collections of short stories recently.

I love to read. There's nothing like getting engrossed in a story. Can't wait to get to the end to find out what happens. My husband and youngest daughter are the same. My oldest daughter is the only one who doesn't like to read. we keep trying to encourage her to read more.

When I was a kid and a teenager, it was a family joke that no one ever saw me without a book in my hand and further, if you saw me go into the bathroom with a book, no one was going to be able to get in there any time soon.  I read all the time.  Now I don't even read the little bit I feel like I should (my bible every day) so no I don't feel like I have time and if I did other than the bible I don't know what I would be interested in reading.  :dontknow:

I read every day like it or not, since a mentor made me aware of the importance of reading something worthwhile each day. And it turns out I LOVE  :heart: to read! As most people I don't have enough time for it. So I make time for some worthwhile reading daily. Then I read like everyone else, if I find some time. When I find a little time I read some spy novels, like "The Spy Who Came in From The Cold". That is where I really learned to read, finished it in one night and I still don't believe it.

I love reading. It relaxes me, while giving me an opportunity to slip away from the hustle and bustle of my crazy everyday life! I am more into non-fiction than fiction. I love reading about things like space, and history. Right now, I'm just finishing up a really good book about the life of the nuclear bomb. It was so interesting! I'm actually kinda sad cause I have to return it, along with some other books, to the library tomorrow. I think I might just wait to the weekend and pay the overdue fines.

Love it, love it, love it.  By far my best and most guilty pleasure.  I try to do the library angle as much as possible.  But I love reading.  I find certain authors and will read everything they've ever written.  I'm willing to pick a random book and try it out.  and I ADORE when my favorite authors publish several books at one time!
I'm super known for spending a whole day of my wknd reading.  And nothing bets laying out in the sun with a good book!

I have a 2 medium sized boxes full of books that i've never read. They just sit in a corner and collect dust. I wish I had more time to read. :/

I like to read, I always have. I don't have that much time to read anymore, but I read on my lunch hour and when I'm traveling.
