Im talking, reading books actual physical books, although I guess you could include books read on a kindle as well. But anyways, how many hours, if that, a day do you spend reading books? I always have a tough time psyching myself into reading, because of all the other distractions. The high quality of tv right now, listening to music, wasting time online etc.... Its hard for me to sit down and read because I always get distracted.

    I try to read whenever I can. Most of it will be during my break at work and then about an hour to 2 hours before I go to sleep. Reading is one of my all-time favorite things to do. Have always loved it since I was a child.

    Honestly the only time I really enjoy reading is when I'm flying. I love drinking a few, and a few more cocktails while catching a buzz in the sky and reading while listening to some music. Not much more I can do but sit there, so might as well take advantage of it.. It's a nice little other world to be in for awhile.. I'll read a little at home some, but not as much..

    I love to read. I try to get at least an hour in each day, but it is usually more (especially if it a really good read).

    Not as much as I would like. I'm usually stuck reading school related things, and I'm not one to read two books at the same time. I used to read every night before bed, but I'm too tired :( I keep buying books too, and just filled up a new bookshelf; I really need to and want to start reading on a regular basis again.

    0 minutes. There's a lot of stuff I would love to read, but between great TV shows, music, online forums, news etc...spending time with wife and son, and work reading books is just at the bottom of the priority list. :lol:
