Reading books of all kinds is one of my favorite hobbies, a thing I have loved since I was a child. I have learned so much by doing so. It feels one gets to visit many people and places just by getting lost in a good book. Karen

I never felt like I am visiting places but yes I sometimes keep myself in place of other character and I think If I had been in this place what would I have done...

I do that too! It is amazing to get so lost and caught up with a good book and imagine those things :)

Reading books is a wonderful hobbie. I think for me it is not so much of a hobbie as it used to be. When I was a teenager I think it was. I would go to the library and load up on a bunch of books and read the ones I found interesting. Now I read a lot more for information; more like studying than for enjoyment. However, I read a lot of running magazines and health topic magazines and those I would consider more like a hobbie activity.

Quiet places always attract me.Reading magazines and books is my favourite hobby.My ability to communicate is not very good and sometimes I am shy in public occasions.And therefore,I become a loyal supporter to journal and books.Extensive reading broadens my horizon and open my mind.Recently,I am obsessed in an encyclopedia of cars.Knowledge is power.

oh boy do i love to read books. right now i am out of work and when i am frustrated about the whole situation and i need a break. i'll pickk up a book. most cases if it is a 300 something page book i will have it done in a day and a half. i love reading my books. when i was a work and brought a book for the bus ride in i would be itching to pick the book back up to read again. Reading is a very important hobby for me it allows me to escape and live someone's elses life for a short time.

I love reading, I cannot seem to be able to get enough of it. I read at work, before bed, when I take a nice long bubble bath. I have a pile of books beside my bed waiting to be read and I dwindle it down to like one or two books but then I end up adding new ones.

Yeah, reading books is my best hobby. I was started being fascinated reading book when I was in 5th grade. I was really enjoy reading about science and astrology way back then. My older sister often asked me about her horoscope, future, and even asked me to interpret her dreams. Sometimes I'd only make up stories and make fun of her. Unfortunately she believes in me, I guess sometimes.LOL That's why I really like reading those stuff. I caught her attention and she often gave me some credits. That's why reading become a habit that later in life helps me a lot. 'cause it appear that I am more knowledgeable and intelligent which is opposite to the truth.LOL Anyways have a great weekends!

Reading is indeed a leisurely activity for me. Of course when I get assigned reading for classwork, it isn't then, but I generally don't mind. I'll read anything. Hopefully, reading books will be my job in the future. I'm going to school currently for English, and I hope to become an editor in a publishing house one day.

I love reading. If I am in the mood for light reading, I grab a magazine or lighthearted book. I also really like educational reading. I am always taking courses just because I like to learn new things. Reading is also a great way for me to relax at night before bed.
