Now im not asking if you can read, i sort of assume you can, no what i am asking is do you still read real, paper, printed books? How often do you sit with a book and have you started reading more or less?

I read every day. I probably read more now because I don't have a television, and I find books much more interesting and informative than watching movies or shows. I have always enjoyed reading and I have worked in publishing and the book trade.

hello there to U...yes, i still do and i really do love reading...even though, i'm so busy at work but i really do find time to read books, especially the BIBLE... I love reading the BIBLE, it's my favorite book ever...i love to read fictional books too, actually, i love reading all kinds of books... Well, there are moments that i really do missed reading newspapers...i just can't because i really need to be early at work, so i just end up surfing the internet to know what's the latest news... I would say that i am so fanatic when it comes to reading...although, there are times, i can't read books anymore due to my work...i am always busy at work... But i always find time to read...as long as the book is so interesting, i will make it sure that i'll be reading that book... Well, when you read, it's like your mind is exploring to what you've just read...reading makes a continual learning process... So i would say, i would never stop reading...it's really a great hobby...well, i do hope you'll read more and more, because that's really good for you...have a blessed day ahead of U...may GOD BLESS U & UR family always!!!

hm, so do you mean reading not in online site? well, i still doing it. whenever i see any newspaper in my office i would like to grab and read it. also if i find something interested in books or magazines definetely i would love to buy and read it. but i also admit that i don't read many as before n those media since internet coming up in mylife. i prefer to read news online cause its more up to dte and reading some light articles from online too. but still in some case reading in books more comfortable than readng through your pc

Yes I read every night before I go to sleep, I find it helps me relax, I also like to read while away on holiday or travelling by car or train it break up the boredom of the journey, I'm not perticularly into reading magazines as such. Cathy Kelly, Sheelagh Kelly and Joanna Trollope are among my favourite Authers, I generally read a book a week. tc xx

I love to read! I read while I am online, at internet libraries, and whenever I ride the bus I read a book! I like to read two books a week, but sometimes I cannot find the time and only get to read short amounts of words, like on MyLot and other internet places that require reading and thinking of some sort! It is a great way to keep your mind working well! I do not read printed newspapers, but read them online since I found out about a sensitivity to newsprint! Most newspapers are online and many columns are online so I find it easier and keep a list of favorites. While my children were young, I would read to them more and read less to myself! While the children are in school, I can read more.

Guys I'm sure you all are reading, but what do you read. I really don't know what to read. Once I went to the book store I did not know what to get. I thought there are too many writers with the same things to say. I don't read much at all. I spend my time with movies Oh! I don't mean watching them I watch it beyond just watching it for lux. I have to look at it closely and take out something from it the last book I did are my school text book I have some of them I just bought them, but never used them because my instructor said if I get it I get two point on my grade. I only read for two of my classes the rest I just know the stuff. I don't read news papers at all. I don't know the name of the papers or where to get them for magazines if they write good stuff about a producer director or movie that is coming out I will buy them once in a while feel like I'm missing. once i went out to the store and i saw this book Mills and Brook series but it is a love series I was wondering what the guys at the counter will think if I buy those. they were really cheap . I decided not to buy them any way since I don't have time. I have a tv set at home but I don't watch TV . I watch movies mainly when I'm off school in summer and Dec.

I read just as much as I ever did, which is alot. I've always been an avid reader. I have 4 bookshelves full and still have piles of books that I have no room for. LOL. I'm one of those people that read in the tub, while cooking dinner, while watching TV etc....

MY reading is way behind my schedule LOL I used to have time to read more. And yes, of course I still read real paper printed books... it's a treat to sit down and enjoy a good book:) I am afraid I have been reading less than what I used to for some time but I still sit to read at least a bit each day. MY problem is timing because once I start reading, and if the book is interesting I have trouble stopping hehehehehe

I am what you may call a bookworm. Yes I still read and I love it. My day ends like at 10:30 at night and I usually try and take at least thirty minutes to read a book at night. During the day i do take little breaks to read but that's about it. I don't think the amount of reading i've been doing has changed much, i think I've been reading a good amount considering all the stuff that is going on my life.

I read real books every single day. Not a day goes by that I don't at least read a chapter. I love to read. And no, I don't consider reading stuff on the internet as reading. Do I read more or less? Well less, but that is because I have five kids, and they take up quite a bit of my time. LOL

I used to read every spare second that I had, you would never see me without a book in my hand. As my family has grown I find I have had less time to read, but recently I have started making time to read again. I only read books, I love them and I have a huge bookcase full of them and I have just started reading through them again. I just wish I had more time to read more!

I always love to read books, articles form the web, magazines- from reading you can sort of travel to different places and know people and their experiences plus you will be updated with almost about everything. But with my limited time, I'm just starting my new job so I am getting a lot of trainings and a lot of modules from work that I should read so I don't have enough time to sit down and read the books I love (sigh!)

I think I read quite a lot. I have to read on average a play or two a week for my Drama degree but aside from that I would say I would read at least one other play outside of my course a week. I really enjoy reading plays and thinking about ways in which they could be staged and performed. Apart from plays I do read quite a bit of fiction probably around a book a fortnight. At the moment I'm reading Lord of the Rings again, and have nearly finished the first book.

I actually read more now days. TV is a little disappointing to me. I am currently reading a book by Suze Orman and it is proving to be very interesting. I nurse my son and it seems to pass the time more effectively than watching TV. Being that I am a stay-at-home mom, reading gives me more to talk about than the children.

It takes me a lot longer to read anything these days. I usually read in bed at night or in the afternoon but instead of reading, I fall asleep. Even if I sit up, I still fall asleep. I guess it's an age thing. I'm reading two books at the moment and have another two that I've started and can't get into. I will someday soon.

I seem to go in spurts. Right now and for the past several months, I have been on a spurt and read about 3 books per week. I read novels and non fiction books. I really like to read and cannot imagine not having a library close by to get all my reading material from! If I had to buy all the books I read, I would be broke in no time. My best friend also passes along books to me after she has read them. She purchases alot of them at library book sales for one dollar.

I love to read real books. The older the better. I love the smell of old paper. It helps me to put things into perspective. It's like I can feel the old timers actually putting pencil ro paper when they were writing. It helps me to understand that when I write, I am taking part in soomething that has been going on for centuries. It is humbling. I know, I know, I'm soooo old school. lol
