Do You Read Regularly? Or Do You Read Only When You're in the Mood to?

I read a lot, almost every day. Sometimes I don't feel like it so I don't but when I feel that way it's usually because I'm not crazy about the book I'm reading. For example, in the last month I've read 3 books that are over 500 pages each. But they were really, really good so I wanted to read them whenever I could to see how the story turned out. The book I'm reading now was recommended by a friend and it's good but it's really long. Too long. It's Stephen King so if you've ever read his books you know what I mean about too long. I wish I could cut some of the words out that I feel are unnecessary so that I can just get to the storyline to see what happens. The story has the potential to be really good but I'm having trouble seeing the story cuz there's too many words in the way and I'm getting bored with it, thus I don't find myself desperately wanting to read it. So in cases like that I have to push myself to read. I should probably just give up on that book and try something else.

I would like to read regularly, even though I must admit that I dont anymore. It has to do not only with being on the mood, but I also like to read in silence, so any noise or even music distracts me. The book I am trying to read must be interesting too and that is a major requirement! Sometimes I read in Spanish, other times in English and there seems to be a time for each of those. What I seem to be doing lately too is reading different books at once! The important thing is to read, I guess, so does quantity really matter? I dont believe so!

Oh I read all the time! :) Hehe. A lot. I'm always i nthe mood to read! :) And I get A LOT of my reading done at my work. I work from 10pm-6am. And I'm usually done with all the work betwen midnight and one. So I have a lot of extra time to read! lol. =P And I love it!

It is very difficult for me to start a book without finishing it. If the plot is good, I will be thinking about it all through whatever activities there are until I get back to the book and finish it. I read with all senses, so leaving a book in the middle would be sort of like having to walk out in the middle of a good movie at the theater. I have always marveled that some people read a novel on the bus on the way to and from their work. When I was a teacher, I sometimes graded papers on the train, but if I tried to read a good novel while riding, I would probably miss my stop. Can you believe I have seen people reading books while driving their cars in traffic?! Well, I would never go that far, but it is somewhat dangerous for me to start a book on impulse, because then someone might not get his dinner unless he got it himself. So while I love books and read regularly, mood usually has nothing to do with it. A fairly large block of time has to be blocked out in advance and all crises must be put on hold. Otherwise, I might not get started on a book for quite some time. Have you heard of the GoodReads website?

Hello wondericequeen, Before I get to know My Lot, I was an avid reader. I spent more time reading compare to now. Sometimes, I will sacrifice my lunch time just to finish my reading instead of going out to have my lunch. Once I start to read, I just can't stop until I finish the book. But now, you can tell me from afar that I am not reading any kind of books that much *laughs*

I was reading regulary, but the Harry Potter series, I just finished. The Magic series by Patricia Rice I just finished. So I'm reading stuff when I'm intersted. I hope to find another magical serives again.

i do read regulary.If i start to read a book i wont stope untill it gets completed.I f i postphone it i cant have interest in reading it.Even if its the case of studies also i should be updatd regularly according to classes.

Yes, I also read if I'm in the mood or if ever I wanted to sleep. I would like to understand the story of what I'm reading, because I don't want to miss important chapters or events on the books I read. Most of the boks I read are about conspiracies and Covert OPS, these are what makes my imagination work and provide me creative thinking.

I belong to the latter type too. :) Just like you, I just read if I am in the mood to. The only thing that can force me to read is when we are required to read some book/novel for our class. Especially in making a book review, it feels like forever when I have to read a book just to pass some papers to the teacher. But I have to in order for me to get some grades for our English class. It happened recently. :) Now that it's over, I don't intend to read any book at all. If I'm in the mood, then I'll reconsider.. :)

When time permist me..I read all kinds of books. Fiction or Non-fiction, self-help, techie and gadgets, tutorials..etc. But I prefer more on books that satisfies my soul and spirit, like The Bible. I know it's hard to understand it but it's worth a try. It keeps me energetic and be in the mood. I don't rely on my mood too much. I have moodswings and it's so unpredictable. if I rely on it, I will never get anywhere.

I read just about every day. I usually read about 2 books a week. I go to the library every week to get my books. I love mysteries and thrillers the most.

I belong to the latter type.I only read when I'm in the mood plus there is available books I like. I loved reading novels when I was in elementary school.And now my interest switch to philosophy and religion which help me find meaning in life.when something bad happens,books do comfort me a lot.nothing's gonna change my love for books:) I wish I could read regularly,but I can't.I really need time and right mood to concentrate so that I'm sure for what I'm reading.When we are reading,we do not only read what it's about,but also can't ignore the person who wrote it. whenever I come to a book which I think is amazing,I want to know more about the author.

I read almost every day, but I also ride the train an hour to work and an hour back and most of my reading is done during that time. I usually finish 2-3 books a month, sometimes more depending on the length of the book and my overall interest in the story.

I read everyday pretty much. I like to read before I go to sleep because it relaxes me.

I am the type that never reads, i only read when I had to from school but I don't have to do that anymore now so I don't read =D

I read every single day. I love reading, but dont have to be in the mood for it. I read to change my moods often. It clears my mind and always leaves me in a better mood. I only move around with bus or public transportation, thats always a good time to read as well. When I go to bed I read again, as I like to ease myself into sleep :D

When I was a student in senior high school,I read book every night after finishing my work.It was usually two or three hours,thus I could finish a book in one or two week.That time was a happy time in my life because I enjoyed fun of reading. However,nowadays I read book less and less.I always think that I don't have so much time and I need to do other things.If I force myself to read book,I will feel unhappy and may only read three of four pages in a hour.

I read on a pretty regular basis. I try and read for at least an hour every night. I do have a harder time if the book I'm reading isn't very motivating though. It's just harder to get through. I read for enjoyment not just for the sake of reading so the book has to be motivating too.

I read a lot, generally articles,news,and interesting stuff online due to time constraints. Also of course I do a lot of reading for my classes but when time permits I like to read books by the likes of Stephen King.

I read regularly but as far as how much I read regularly it is not too many pages. I ALWAYS read on my lunch breaks everyday and right before I go to sleep. It gets my mind off of work and it gets me tired when i am ready to go to bed... not because the books bore me though! :)
