How often do you read a book?

Oh! That is a good habit smartboy. Well, even I try to keep up my reading habit. Sometimes I don't find time so I give up.:)

Thanks for your response.

Thanks for your response!

I also believe that reading a book lets you go free in your imaginary realm. You can simply take off with the characters of the book or the storyline. It gives an instant escape from the stress of normal life.

Happy mylotting!

Hi dodo!

Thanks for your response. Yes, even I have parents who encouraged my reading habit. Actually my parents are voracious readers themselves so they never discouraged me from this. They thought it was a good idea that I picked it up from childhood without a lot of prompting.:)

Hi!

I feel reading is a habit that gives pleasure. For me it is pure exhilaration. I have a mini library at home and feel odd/uneasy if people borrow books from me and dont return it.

I have several book stores in my area and I visit them as often I can. I try to buy my books whenever I can. Sometimes some books are very expensive so I borrow them from the library. I am also a member of a few libraries.

I never tried borrowing books from the library, only because we don't really have good public libraries here in our country.. my family also have a mini library, though my dream and my sister's is to build a room for all the books... that would really be awesome.

Hi magickat,

Thanks for your response.

Oh, good that you have some time while you travel. I drive to work so I cant obviously read.:(

I do most of my reading at home. After I complete my work for the day, just before hitting the sack is my "book time.":)

I have personally felt that whenever I assimilate a lot of thoughts and comments after reading a book, I tend to become more sharper. Even my vocabulary goes up one notch. I truly feel people should try to read more often. And truly, books are my best friends.:)

Oh!

Thats wonderful bluedandelion. I have a small library at home. But it is not public. Well people who visit us do borrow a few books. But then some people do not maintain books well so we try to not let them borrow our books. I like to keep my books in a nice condition. I have got many books as gifts and prizes. My parents also bought me many books when I was a child. I was so hooked to the habit that it slowly became second nature.:)

Yes, you should read some thought provoking books in the evening. But try to read something light at night else your brain will wake up and your sleep will vanish!:)

Oh! wow! I have been a fan of the detective from childhood. I have this book called Complete Works. Have you seen it? You might find it in your local library.:)

The more we read the more active our brain becomes because you then tend to internalize the ideas that you gathered while you were reading a book.:)

Thanks for your response.:)

I know Harry Potter kind of books give a lot of scope to escape reality. Surreal ideas and scripts are an instant hit amongst younger adults and children.:)

Hi Shantha,

Once a bookworm, always a bookworm.:)

You should not curb your instincts when it comes to reading books or doing anything that pleases you. Take up something that gives you pleasure and make it a practice to stick to it. I know you must be busy, but try to read some book.:)

I am sure you will relish the feeling.
