These days I only have about an hour to read everyday. I spend most of my time online leaving me hardly any time for reading. Back in law school, I could never have enough time to read. During these hectic times, do you still have time to read books? How many hours do you spend reading in a day?

I love to read for pleasure but can't really squeeze in more than a half hour to an hour a day. When I'm not working, I get up and run down to Starbucks. I sit on the patio with my coffee and read. That seems to be the only way that I can carve out an hour of reading time. I remember the good old days when I could collapse on the couch and spend as much time reading as I wanted to.

That is my favorite way to get in some reading time too, LaurenInLA. I commit one day a week while my son is at preschool to running by a Starbucks and just reading. For a while I was taking my laptop and 'getting things done'..... until I realized that some reading me-time helps me get things done much better later.

Hi, sixclix.
I do not spend near enough time reading a book in a day. I used to spend at least an hour a day reading without fail. Now I am luck if I can grab 15 to 20 minutes here or there. Of course, I could log off myLot now and then and get some more reading time.

I read about 2 hours a day right before I got to sleep. I try to pace myself, that way I can have enough money to buy another book when I am finished.

Books are perhaps the one thing without which i cannot imagine this world. I love and love and love books. Due to my job and family errands, nowadays i do not find enough time to have the lovely company of books and i like reading books better than online ones. But it is a must for me. On any time of the day, i flip through at least a few pages. On holidays, if i have a book and that is quite interesting, i do not leave it until finished.
Sometimes i feel that i would have been the happiest man in the world if i have worked in a library. Actually the presence of books turns me on and i can actually feel that there are so many good things in world that i can contact with.
But, unfortunately, my work relates to money more than keeping company with books.
Happy reading

During my engineering days I used to spend almost 4 hrs a day doing that but now it has reduced almost to 0.

Hello
I am still in a medical school. For that I am still so connected with books related to my profession. I have to spend at least 4/5 hours a day with my books. That becomes a little boring & monotonous some days, but i don't see a way out.I used to be an avid novel reader during my school days. But don't go for them frequently now.
Happy mylotting

I don't do anything half way. I may not read any books for weeks but when I start I read till I end the book. It may even last several hours without the break. I prefer that, than reading every day a little.
