How often do you read?

[marlasinger]

As often as I can, which isn't as often as I like. I do a huge chunk of reading on the weekend (sometimes I don't even get out of my flat ), and try to read on weeknights, depending how tired I am.

I kinda miss catching the train into work, because I used to be able to get at least 2 hours of reading done a day.

I read everyday for a couple of hours, more if I have time though I am laughed at by my housemate for always walking around the house with a book under my arm.

More recently I have started writing again in a desperate attempt to actually finish a novel, and find that I am actually a little scared to pick up a book, lest it affect my flow. I am getting over it though

I don't get to read as much as I used to because I have soooo much homework this semester. But I do always set aside at least 30 minutes before I go to bed each night, and I try and sneak in as much as I can when I'm waiting for my classes to start.

I read as much as I can, usually about 3 hours a day, more on the weekends. I always carry a book with me no matter where I go because I like to take advantage of any spare moment I have. I envy all of you who can read 5 or 6 hours a day!

I usually read 1, sometimes 2 books at a time, never more. Usually i read when i drive to work or university, i always read during my working time and i sometimes read at home, if i'm not doing something else
Don't really know how much hours that would be, but i would guess something about 4 to 5 hours a day!

harry, are you a student at the universität wien?

 

[Harry Gamblor]

Yes, i am, but right now i have to work, i have to do my Zivildienst (don't know how i can translate it into english, best translation would be: civil work or social work i guess!), and because i have to do this work, i have "hollydays" from studying. Which means i took 2 Semesters off from studying so i can do this work.

 

[bobbyburns]

what were you studying?

 

[Hollis]

I only read one book at a time. It's hard for me to mix stories in my head by reading more than one book at a time. Ideally I'd like to read 100 pages a day, but that's usually not realistic because I've got so many hobbies. I find mainly my art takes up most of the time that I'd otherwise be reading. But I always make time at least before I go to bed. Heh heh - I ended up buying a rather large purse a month or so ago. It's big enough to even put a hardback in there! So needless to say, I'm always prepared no matter where I go.

what were you studying?

I studied Theater-, Film- und Medienwissenschaft i think it's the same subject as Drama, but i'm not sure

I will continue studying it, after i finished this year of work and i will probably take Literature as a second subject!!

I don't read as much as I would like, but I read everyday.
I read on the train, and during most lunchtimes. I used to read a lot at home, but I don't have the time anymore (and I probably spend too much time on the internet!)

I think I'm reading 10 - 14 books a month on average at the moment.

 

[Robert]

I love to read, but I won't let it take me away from the important things in life. Sometimes I have a few hours to spend, sometimes the only time I have to read is the commute home.

i read as much as i can. probably 3 hrs on the weekdays and 5-6hrs on the weekends.
plus it depends if i like the book a lot.
