How much time do you devote to reading a day?

[OliverC]

I'd like to get in the habit of reading more. I've bought so many books and I have the free time but usually I find myself watching DVDs or surfing the net instead. Do you have a habit with reading? How much reading do you do in a day?

Hi Adalia
I would read all day, when on the internet I am reading basically, like this forum is a kind of reading. I read books all evening from about 6pm onwards until I go to bed. I just love it.

I would read during the day if I could but I have other things to do. I read non-fiction books e.g. theology, philosophy, courses I am studying for work and so on. I think it is a habit really, and you could get into the habit if you want to but you need to find books you love.

What would you like to read?

About an hour or 2 a day. I can't fall asleep unless I read for a bit, and I have always been an avid reader, so if it is a good book I will read for hours. But average about 1-2 hours a day.

Not as much as I should.

I usually like to read 1-2 hours before bed.

When I have a book to read, I usually read a chapter of it a day. This is necessary because I tend to go overboard with my reading and I might end up reading it out in a day :o I just recently finished Fear by Michael Grant and I'm waiting for the last book in the series which is coming out next year. On a regular basis I read manga though. Everyday I read manga. Not a day goes by that I don't read something.

Depends on how much free time I have? Usually about an hour or so.

I usually read 2 -3 hours per day. The reading habit is so important today. You just should not abandon this habit. There are so many temptations nowadays that we should develop some healthy habits so that
we can resist temptations
easier. Otherwise we
will be just like
other people
who
develop
bad habits.
We should
develop
healthy reading habits, Good reading
habits
cultivate
our patience.
I will give
you my car
if you
are still
reading
this post.
I'm sure
you are not.
Since
99% of
people would
have
already
jumped to
a Youtube
video at
this stage
already,
or jumped
to other
jokes in
another
page.
We should
develop
good
reading
habit
and
do not
read
like
the typical
users
as described
by
Jakob Nielsen.

Not as much as I'd like to! During the week, I mainly read while I'm commuting, and sometimes a bit before bed. I'd say an hour total, if I'm lucky.

prolly an hour. I mean, I read road signs, instructions, facebook... does that count too?
