When I was still single I really love to read books of any kind as long as it is interesting. Reading relieves stress for me. It relaxes my mind. But it's been 4 years now since I wasn't able to read a good book. I really miss the books but I don't have enough time to read one.

Yes, I am a book lover. I have been one for over 20 years....reading is a passion for me. I am always reading and I always have a book with me or at close to me.

When i was girl in shcool, I like reading, you can be aware of a lot of things, and make you more confidence?
But I didn't read for a long time, and I found it is a little difficult to finish a whole book, especially at beginning.
Reading is a really good things, I found I am going backwards, no mind, so I deciside to read and read, books can let me know a lot, more confidence.

It depends on the book, really. I'm told when I was a kid, I learned how to read rather quickly, however, I lost interest dramatically during my late elementary through college years as school was not a very pleasant experience for me, and since I was all but forced to read for classes in order to get good grades, the last thing I ever wanted to spend my free time doing was anything that reminded me of school.
Now that I am out of school, I have changed and have gone back to reading whenever I have a spare moment to do so. It is good for relaxation - that is why I especially like to go to bed with whatever book I am reading.

I love reading books. My aunts and mother developed this habit in me, and I must read a book before going to bed, even if it is a few pages. I read all kinds of books, and try not to limit myself to just one type. Though I love Agatha Christie and Sidney Sheldon, they make for lighter reading when I am not in the mood for heavy stuff.

we're in the same boat, sister. i have no time to read now. try surfing the net for e-books or plain reading featured stories of other sites. that is what i do. also watching movies on the net with familiar sounding titles quenches my curiosity in one way.

Keep one in your bathroom. If it is the only time you have then you can read a few pages a day and still get to read a little bit.
I have also found that if I read for 10 minutes before I turn out the light at noght I can relax and get to sleep easier.
