Poll: Do You Read?

[TheDustyBanana]

I don't read so much anymore. I have to read a book that's interesting over the past year or so I've come across less and less interesting books so my reading's gone down drastically. Also, my attention span gets shorter and shorter each year so that also hinders my reading a bit. Recently I've been getting into comics because they're easier to read, but it's been mostly hit or miss so far as I'm not very well versed in comics. So yeah.

I read recreationally for about an hour almost every day.

How else could I respond in a coherent way to your topic? To be more serious, I do read, only not as much as I want to. Must get away from this evil device called PC every now and again.

I read a lot of manga and I read a lot of articles but I have trouble reading actual books because I tend to be a slow reader and I don't have the patience to get through most books.

 

[Omikron009]

I read all the time. I've actually finished pretty much ever book that I own. I should really go get some new ones.

 

[Gralian]

I like to read, yes. Particularly foreign books, i'm a fan of Sergei Lukyanenko and John Ajvide Lindqvist. I'm also a huge fan of the author Anonymous.

Other than that i have to read a lot for my uni studies as i study English Literature.

I'm always reading, only problem is it takes me weeks to finish a single book because I have ADHD (seriously, not just as a lame excuse) and I'm a slow reader
Right now I'm reading Philip Pullman's 'The Good Man Jesus And The Scoundrel Christ' nearly finished it, then I'll move onto some Dean Koontz, my favourite horror/suspense writer

For me it doesn't sound as a lame excuse. Have the same thing, read some articles about ADHD and some of the other symptoms that can come along with it are dyslexia (evil word for people who have it) so you tend to read slower. On the bright side: it costs less money to keep you occupied on books though.

 

[The Bread is Delicious]

I read a ton of junk for school purposes, but not that much just for fun. Now that summer is here however and I have less to do I did go out and get a couple books including The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy which I'm enjoying very much.

 

[RedPandaMan]

I read all the time. In fact, I'm reading these sentences right now.

But books? I read from time to time, maybe a book a month. I like my videogames, and the school year kills my desire to read.

 

[ezeroast]

I read when i can, rarely do i have time to sit in a comfy chair and just read. But i always read while having a smoke or going #2. Or any other time I have spare.

 

[Sleekgiant]

I read when I can but unfortunately strapped for time as it is DX

 

[neoontime]

I only read because it's a requirement for school.

 

[bam13302]

I assume you mean read books, not just reading in general (be quite hard to even be on the internet or even these forums without reading).

 

[Drakmeire]

I like to read but I can never find a good book that can hold my attention, I really liked call of Cthulhu though.

 

[Rylot]

It's the best way for me to fall asleep, though I usually forget the last few pages from the night before. Anyway I just started the Hitchhiker's tome while I wait for Metro 2033 from Amazon.

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Once I actually get a book to read, then I usually read it every night or so. When I go through all my books, then I might reread one. I won't read as often as I do when it's new though. I'm looking for something new to read now, but can't find what I'm looking for.

 

[luclin92]

love reading but i hate it when i am forced to

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

I read a lot. I love it, I read as much as I can, when I'm not playing games that is. Imma pretty picky reader though.

 

[Gondito]

Haven't read a book recreationaly for a good year, just picked up a novel from the library the other day called Perdido Street Station.

It's got a nice fantasy/science fiction flare (won awards in both categories) and has a lot of steampunk elements.

Haven't gotten very far into it but so far it looks like its going to be an amazing read.

I read most days. All kinds of stuff.
