Reading is fun, too

No. I guess they don't. My sister would read when she was young. Me, I didn't. I prefered playing outside with my friends.I didn't get into reading until I was in my teens . How? My teacher told my mom I needed to improve my reading and the best way is to let me read what I liked.My mom agreed so I got to read Harold Robbins and Jacqueline Suzann and Sidney Sheldon.It wasn't Shakespeare but it was what I wanted to read. I read more and got better.Trying to get me to read what You wanted me to read wouldn't make me read , even when I was young.What makes it really fun is reading what you want to read.

I do. I read a lot. My biggest problem with reading is I love to read in bed, but the cats think bed is where I need to pet them!

I read all the time and wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it. I have had to study things - that's not reading for pleasure, but the end result is good, too. Most learning comes when we're leasst conscious of it!

i love to read just to read. I don't get into the books where you actually have to sit there and analyze every single thing. i love to read just for the pleasure of reading. that's my relaxation. God bless

I love books. I don't know who started it in my family but ever since I was a kid, I've always been surrounded by tons of books. My big sisters read romance novels, my brothers adventure books and my dad political ones. I remembered spending most of my free time reading these books rather than watching TV. You can get so caught up in a story sometimes that you'd never want to put the book down. I didn't care if I learned anything or enriched my vocabulary or whatever..I just wanted to know what happens to the protagonist in the story. That's probably why my eyes got broken. Even at night, when my dad would tell me that it's lights out, I would still read my book under the covers with a flashlight in hand. These days, I still read, but mostly online stuff or ebooks. It's a fun way to pass the time. My friends would sometimes get pissed off cos I'd ditch them to read.

I agree with you, angelwriter, reading is fun. I am a avid reader, sometimes I have two books going at one time. I am also into the book on tapes. They are great to have if you are on a road trip; they are much better to have than to be on the cellphone while driving.I get very absorbed when I am reading a good book. Some people don't know what they are missing because they never learned to love reading.

Reading should always be for pleasure. It can be a very fun thing to do and a nice way to relax. When it stops being fun, then it becomes work and it is work that you don't get paid for. Therefore, I only read what I enjoy and on my own time. I think that a lot of people are going to dislike reading because of it seeming like work. Which is bad, as reading can be one of the funniest things in existence.
