When do you prefer to read books and stuff? Do you read at night, in the morning, etc? With me, as soon as I get my hands on the book I read it instantly be it in the morning, afternoon, or evening, and then I won't stop until I finish it; that would be roughly around 2 or 3 hours for an average book and for a really thick book maybe around 6 hours, minimum...

reading time for me could be anytime, I love to read,but mainly I find that if it is a day when it is gloomy and raining, it is good to put on my pj's and curl up in a comfortable chair and read. And I try to read at least for a while when I go to bed, I think reading relaxes you and you grow sleepy faster, unless it is really a good book and you can't just put it down. I have held onto a book and read while stirring a pot on the stove the book was that good.

I don't have any particular "best time" as such. I read whenever I get the time and feel like it, usually at the weekends. :) Cheers and happy mylotting

If I am interested in the book, it may keep me going on reading and reading until I've finished it. I have no preference in time but in mood yes If I'm in the mood for reading I can read a book continuously. I remember reading Harry Potter books 1 to 3 each in just a day or two.

i usually read during afternoon[nap time] or before going to sleep. But since my schedule isnt hectic in the morning..i skip the newspaper then read the book for 3 hrs..[the average time for me to finish it!] When im kinda busy i dont read it cause i know i would be having hard time putting it down. I kinda addicted to reading so i screwed up my work sometimes because i couldnt stop reading the book. Now ive learned my lesson so when i still have work to do i refrain myself from opening the book! =)

The best time for me is at night, before bedtime. The only problem is that, if the book is really good, I'll try hard to keep my eyes open, and read as much as possible, which means I may not have enough sleep. If my weekends are free, I could read the whole day! Just give me a book by my favourite author, lots of chocolates, ice-cream or chips, and some cushions to laze on, and I'll be so happy!

i think the best time to read your courses is the day time and if you are talking about reading a fiction, then i would prefer the night time before sleeping. Its the best time to read other than the course books.

I like to read at night but if I've got plans for the day I read whenever I'm free. And yeah, I find it hard to put a book down once I've started. Do you get that?
