No time to read...

i remember when i in my childhood,i read many books.the most faverate thing is reading. now i seldom to read. the first reason is no time ,the other is ,you know,when you read a book ,you should keep peace inside,but now little time can keep peace inside.i wish one day i can enjoy a book and a cup of tea and some cookies for a day.

I used to read a lot , Loved Catherine Cookson , I would stay up till all hours just to finish it , Then I went to others and did the same my hands get sore now just holding the books up so I have given it up , If I couldn't get into a book in the first few pages I gave it up altogether , xx

I've definately had that happen! I usually can read a book with in a couple of days, but once in a while an "ok" book takes me awhile.

It happens once in a while, usually I try to keep reading hoping that things will change but then I get frustrated and think of the time I wasted on it. If I am reading something from an author I am into, like Darren Shan, I can easily kill a 500 page book in one night. I don't go for romance novels so if there is a lot of that kissy kissy stuff in it, I lose interest real quick.

This happened to me once, guess I was yet in high school when I started reading that novel and haven't finished it 'till now. Am not even sure if the title is "Forbidden Passion" or "Forbidden Ecstasy" LOL, but one thing for sure, it's by Sidney Sheldon. I don't really know why I lost interest in that book unlike the others that I just finished in like 4-5 nights. :)

I love reaing Paulo Coelho's books,they are wonderful. But one of them I couldn't finished at all[Na margem do rio Piedra eu sentei e chorei]. The last book I read was "O diário de um mago" and it was completely gorgeous:)

Yes it has happened on a couple of Books and in the End I just put it away as I did not want to read it anymore, once I loose Interest I don't bother carry on reading it, I then start reading one of my favourites Authors.

I have this every times I try to read Dickens. I think I've tried to read Bleak House four times, and have never made it past the first chapter. It's because the style of writing is so ornate. By contrast the TV adaptations of his books are great. Re how long it takes to read a book - it depends on how riveting it is. I've been known to stay up all night reading books that I can't put down, and I finish them within a day or two. With mediocre books, it takes me about a week.

When i come to know that i wont be able to finsih the book or jsut have lost interest in reading the book...i simply make it point that i scrap through rest of book by skipping pages rather than completely turning away from the book...i think thats best possible way of getting really aclaimatised with novel completely if not fully...

If I really like a book I can read it in a few hours, however I have had books like the one you're talking about. Sometimes I will force myself to continue reading it thinking it's eventually going to get better and then I'm really disappointed in the end to find out that it never got any better and I just wasted a ton of time, lol.

Before,i really like to read a book but right now i don't have enough time.I have a novel that i start reading on it for i think a few months already but until now i did not finish reading it coz i have so many work to do.Besides i have a baby to watch.

this happends to me alot. i start a book then i dont get chance to read it due to university etc :S not good

yeah that has happened to me a few times. but that is why i usualy read two or more books at a time. if i get bored with one of them o get the other. if i like it i usually read it very quickly. but it did happen to get half way through a book and completly loose my interest.

lol i have have..

I've started maybe one or two books in my lifetime that I haven't finished. I might be more likely to do that now, as I find that I'm getting pickier as I get older. I usually can take a look at about 30 seconds of a TV show (a new one) and know if it's nothing that I'm interested in. Other times I'll watch half of something and say ugh, I'm just not enjoying this, and give up. So I know that i would do the same with a book, if I were still reading as much as I did when I was a teenager and younger than that. I used to be such a bookworm, lol! I know that I finished most books in a half a week to a week, but I'll never forget the time that I was sick and read Steven King's "Misery" in one day. That's the biggest book that I know of that I've ever read in a day! ^_^

the best time you can read it, is when you can't sleep. Coz that book will surely put you into sleep.

That kind of thing happens to me too, but only with really long books. After a while, life gets in the way of the book and I don't really feel connected to the plotline anymore - and suddenly, I'm no longer interested in the characters or whatever else is going on. Because of that, I've learned to only read books that aren't longer than two hundred or so pages.

i like to read books, but i don't have time because i want to go to school and i have a pasion for football.

put a time table for each chapter and read other books

i can give u an idea why dont you read the end chapter then that will close every thing hope that works bse i works 4 me
