i used to read a lot of books, novels and magazines in my college days. That has reduced to newspaper and either a magazine or a short stories novel before bedtime. But since 1 month even that has reduced. With full time job and late homecoming these days has further reduced my hobby of reading. I am just able to take a glance at the headlines of newspaper. What a pity for me. I hope this phase will pass soon. How many of you get sufficient time for reading these days?

I was a voracious reader in my student days.But now my reading habit is diminishing and is almost nil.Its just that attending to other duties leaves me less time to read.I do not much like light reading,and reading magazines is not my fort.I used to read the newspapers everyday with great fervour.But thanks to the TV and the internet,most of the news that my morning newspaper brings has become stale and uninteresting.

I love to read, and I read almost everyday. I carry a book with me almost all the time. I usually finished 2-4 books a week, depending on how busy my schedule is. I'm not fond of watching TV. Although I'm online most of the time, I can only stay for long, before I'm picking up a book. I don't think I'll ever change despite how busy things can be, I will always have time to read even just a few pages of my current book.

I am a college student now, but I don't spend time as much as you did on books since I got a computer when I was in my high school. And these days? I got to say much less except my exercise books. I think time and mood are both needed if you want to read a book, and I just got none of them. I found I just couldn't cool down and sit there for one or two hours reading a book. I just can't and don't know why.
