Your reading habits

Hello, I often wonder if other people are as interested as me by reading, if they read the same books, and how much time they spend devouring books. I personally read at least an hour a day, but it can go up to ALL day... I'm currently re-reading the Time Quintet by Madeleine L'Engle. It's an easy series to read but is absolutely fascinating. Reading is one of my passions. What about you?

I also like reading too. I can read for the whole day if the book is really good. Though these days I have neglected it because of my busy schedule and because books are quite expensive these days. I am currently saving money. So I really would love to download free E-books. Hahaha..

I like to read quite a bit, too. Sometimes I read more than others, though because I have other interests, too. Sometimes I read anything and everything that comes my way, right down to the label on the toothpaste tube! My favorites are nonfiction if it's in a category that interests me. Right now I'm reading The Promise of Sleep by William C. Dement. I do like light fiction now and then, but get bored with some of it.

I've always loved to read. I can remember as a kid on summer vacations from school taking a blanket outside and laying in the shade with a book. I don't get to read as much as I'd like to now that I have a family. I just finished the Twilight Series recently. I couldn't put them down. It only took me about two days to read them. I have shelves and shelves of romance books that I need to read too lol.

It's nice to know that others share my interests in reading! I haven't read the Twilight series before, because, I have to admit, the worldwide marketing sort of repelled me. But I'll try soon!

I do like also to read books,... when I was in college I use to go to our library and seek a book and borrow it...Sometime I spend more than an our reading books, sometimes when the book catches my interest I never stop to read it until I have finished it. I love to read books of true to life stories. They are fascinating and inspiring. I have read the "The catching in the rye" and "China boy". As the technology advanced I am now enjoy my reading at my mobile phone by downloading ebooks...

I do too! Sometimes I read a book until 3 in the morning because I absolutely can't put it down! It is cool to see that as technology advances, you can start reading in another way... I should try reading on my computer soon!

I love reading as well, and I read a little at least every day, usually right before I go to sleep, because it relaxes me. I usually do not read the same books though, I tend to get new ones all the time, so my collection is rather big by now.

I tend to read before going to bed too, it soothes me a lot and puts me in a good mood!

I don't blame a reader nor disturb because , I too was a reader but abandoned the habit ...... Now as gadgets have advanced and avail of ebooks and reference from a palm device is making a geek again ....... Hahahaha .... But I don't spend much time , just to improve my sense , English , and skill ......... Who cares if Shakespeare marries or not .. What he teaches the summary is imp..... ( morals ) .......... I think like that ........... Many ask y u abandoned .... It s time and consequences which evolves us ...... My last read series was Harry potter z .................... Readers u please don't evolve into a rocky ............. Continue reading .........

REading is one of my hobbies as well. I like reading novels including the classic ones by Mary Shelley. I used to read a lot when I was young since i had less responsibilities then. I could spend hours and hours just reading a book. Now i just take time to read the newspapers, my taptu application in ipad for magazines, latest technologies and gadgets as well as world news. I also have ibook app in my ipad which allows me to download classics. Right now i'm about to start reading Mathilda by Mary Shelley. I'm getting fond of classic novels nowadays.
