I enjoy reading. I read books and every printed materials I could get.I treat reading as my way of relaxing. The quiet moments I spend with it lift up my spirit and refresh my body from stress and other tiring thoughts.I also love to read the Bible for it makes closer to God. How about you, how do you treat your reading?

I read everyday. After my gruesome online ventures, I unwind and read at least an hour a day. Normally prior to going to bed. It is a time I find that I feel most at ease and reading helps to calm and rejuvenate my brain before I rest at night.

I am always fnding something interesting to read. Sometimes it is my daily newspaper. Sometimes it is a work of fiction that I just vcan't put down. Reading is something I do that always relaxes me. When I feel some tension that just won't go away, reading usually helps it to fade away.

Oh, we're the same. I am also fond of reading books that will further improve myself, my knowledge and I also feel the need to share to others especially those who share the same passion and interest with me all the things that I am learning. Knowledge is useless unless we share it.

I used to spend hours reading, when I got older with more responsibility, I didn't read quite as much. Now I read when I can in little portions. When I'm stuck in traffic, when I have to wait on my kids somewhere, whenever I can find the time.

I enjoy reading and find it as another way to relax and kind of enter a whole new world. I love books that I can't put down because they are just that good, but I hate having to put them down after the story is over. I guess you could say my ideal book is one I never want to put down and which has sequel after sequel! I like your avatar! Welcome To Mylot!

I do enjoy reading as well. I always have. It's a way for me to relax. It's a sort of entertainment as well. At least it is for me.

I also enjoy reading. I also read a lot. Reading is the most enjoyable form of recreation for me. I enjoy reading fictional books and novels. I also enjoy reading books that catches my attention over and over again. I think I will never get tired of reading books. It helps me improve my vocabulary. I also get writing ideas from the books I read. Reading is the best hoobby there is.

I read for fun, for relaxation, to learn, to escape... I think there's no one true reason why I read. Just that I love it so much that I could never stop! Reading has been a huge part of my life since I was little. I've carried a book with me wherever I go since I was a kid. I typically finish 2-3 books a week. I've been finishing fewer since I started college, but I still read whenever I can make a spare minute.

Reading has widen my horizon and my world. I have been to places for free through the wonders of reading. Yes, at the comfort of my bedroom with some of my favorite books. Books though are expensive in our place, luckily, I have a friend who give me some of her used books. I now have several of them to read during the weekend or during my spare time. Reading has honed my writing skill as well. Now I encourage my kids to read but the tv, the computer and the cellphones are distracting them from appreciating the beauty of reading.

I enjoy reading especially mystery or action field novels. Romance mixed on those genres is good too. I treat it as a hobby, to relieve me of stress and explore another world. It is also in reading books that i get ideas or inspiration to make my own or improve my writing abilities.
