I am finally reading again!

It takes me weeks to read a book. Or months even. I read a few books at a time...I'm currently reading and autobiography, a weightloss book and a novel as well as an Australian Geographic magazine. Ther novel is winning. I sometimes pick it up and doze off before I even read a word, so I can read nothing, a few words or a few lines. I mostly read at night as I go to sleep.

It's been about four years since I read a fiction book. But I have read many non-fiction books in that time. Most to do with relationships or business.

Hi, I tried reading Sylvia Browns Biography. It was pretty good, but I didn't finish it. I half to go back to the Library and get it, I read it for a couple of days, but I have been so buzy doing other things that I couldn't finish the Book. I will go and get it again eventually. Have a nice eveing!

Hi there! Sorry for missing your discussion. Nice to see you after a long time. I am sure the kids are running you crazy..good for you. *laughs* It's good to know that you have started to read again. I am a great admirer of Stephen King, haven't read Lisey's Story though. Currently I am reading The Dlibert Future by Adam Scott. It's a part of the Dilbert series. It's been an amazing read so far, it's a humorous peak on the future. Before this I finished The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. I enjoyed it very much as well. Happy reading. PS: Have you started with your cross stitching??

I feel your pain. I love my babies, and certainly wouldn't trade them for the world, let alone a few extra hours per day in which to read. But, that said, they have definitely taken up the vast majority of my time since they were born. I used to read all the time, especially just before bed. I have such trouble sleeping anyway, and it was the only thing that would relax my mind enough to get some actual sleep. Now though, even if I can't sleep, I just don't have the energy, generally speaking, to focus my eyes on a book for that long. Since the girls are a bit older now though, and require much less devotion in the middle of the night, or early morning, I've gotten back to reading fairly regularly. I read mainly fantasy and science fiction books. But, I do have a few horror novels, and I'll go for mysteries, or even crime novels on occasion. I'm actually pretty diverse in that regard. And, my mood changes often. So, although I'm currently reading mostly science fiction and fantasy, next week I could be more into self help or romance. Who knows. On average, I'd say it takes me approximately 12 hours to read a book, if I'm very involved in the story and enjoy it immensely. But, of course, that depends on the length of the novel, my level of energy and interest, and my mood.

I am also a reader.. i do read romantic novel... I take around a week to complete the novel.... considering my work pressure it is decent pace....

Hi newzealtralian, Yeah for you!!! You have finally been able to find time to do something for yourself. Not an easy achievement with little ones around. It doesn't seem to get much easier as they grow up either. LOL Reading is good, especially if you enjoy it. Stephen King is one of my favorite authors as well. I have not read Lisey's Story yet. I enjoy reading Dean Koontz, Christine Feehan, Lindsay Sands, Kim Hamiliton and so on. I have a very broad interest in the types of books that I read. Basically, I enjoy everything but Harlequinn romance. One now and then is not bad, but I can't read those on a daily basis. On average, it takes me about a week to read a book. No matter what the topic is. I read myself to sleep every day. Better than a sleeping pill. LOL Happy posting..

I love to read and have statred reading again more often. Stephen King is my favourite author i have nearly all his books. I also thought Lisey's Story was good and i agree it was different from his early works. I also enjoy Dean Knootz and Richard Laymond. I read alot of true life stories as well i find Torey Hayden very good. I try to read every day. It really depends on what i am doing day to day but can usually read a book in aboiut 3-4 days. So as you can imagine i get through alot of books.

i haven't read a book since i graduated March this year. I always borrow books from our university's library. Mostly i read fiction stuff. I love Ken Follet and Robert Ludlum's novels and also Judith McNaught. They are my favorite novelists ever since. The last novel I read was from Judith McNaught entitled 'Whitney, My Love'. It was such a nce novel. i like it a lot.

Hey, great - you've found time to read 2 books in 3 weeks. Even better than when I was working, sometimes it took me more than a month to finish a book, except for Da Vinci Code (Dan Brown) - it was so exciting that I finished the book in 2 days! If I didn't have to go to work, I might have finished it by the next morning. Now I would take about a week to finish a book - last book I read was The Old Contemptibles by Martha Grimes. So enjoy your reading!

I love reading. I didn't read for leisure for a very long time while going to college and working a full time job. Last june, I left my full time job and started working from home. I have found so much me time over this year which has been a great way to find time to read. I love autobiographies and anything based on true events really. I was a Psych major in college so I usually wind up turning to stories about people's personal struggles and their triumphs. It's always encouraging to read how someone was able to make a bad situation into a positive one. I am a fast reader so I can usually finish a book in a day or 2 depending on how long it is. I just finished reading a great book called "Healing with the Angels" by Doreen Virtue. It's about how using spirituality and your angels can help you heal or correct any of your life's issues. It was a great book.
