Do you consider reading a hobby or a method of learning?

I defeniatly consider my reading a hobby--I don't read any educational, factual books...I stick strictly to fiction. Good, scary thrillers/mystery/horror novels. The fact that I enjoy reading immensly just proves more to me that it is a hobby. If I didn't want to do it...I wouldn't...but I love it :)

I think reading is not only a good hobby, but also a good way to learn. It can be both. The books can always teach us many things. We learn from it step by step. I like reading. I love China

For me, reading is the best way of removing tension. Yes, i am always tension free when reading any kind of book. It's my hobby. But i think it is also a best way of learning cause we cannot learn anything without readning, may be reading from net or books.

i love reading ever since i was a child, i remember reading our textbooks cover to cover... . i consider reading a hobby and a method of learning, i dont have anything special that i read. i read everything that looks interesting to me, doesnt matter what it is as long as it catches my attention, ill probably be reading it.

I like reading. Special is a good book. No matter which country. As long as it is translated into my language. I want to read. Haha, I feel not enough time. There are too many books I have not read. I am now accompanied by a book. Taiwan's Chen wrote "San Mao" It's very interesting book. Sanmao whose real name is Chen, Yue-sheng 26 March 1943, Dinghai County, Zhenjiang P rovince, Chinese University's Philosophy Department. Students have graduated in Europe, after the Sahara desert to settle in the West is an island. Her footprints all over the world, her works are also widespread the global community, there are vast numbers of mainland readers, life is very rich in books and translated. Have time to. Dear friends. Time, as you read this book. I know you will like it.

To some degree,I am an impatient person,so in most cases , I don't have enough patient to read a book.But as book is very important for me , so I have to read it for learning ,.As a result , the most book I read is my text book .So , I am afraid that I just treat book as a method of learning .

i consider reading a method of learning. i read a lot when i am in front of the pc. general information, science and technology and almost everything that i know i will learn something with. my wife has tons of pocket books and i know she reads because that one of her hobbies. so we read for a different reason but at the end of the day we both chip in some of the things we both read mine from the net and her from her book.

I consider reading both a hobby and a means of learning. I read for pleasure and to learn all of the time. I am not afraid to pick up an educational book or look up information in an encyclopedia or on the web. I read just for pleasure mosy nights before I go to bed though. I do most of my reading for learning during the daytime. I seem to retian more at that time of the day.

reading is always a good method or habit to learning something.this rule is unchangeable forever.but the question is you must make a test to prove what the book shows actually i heard about there's someone said that book is not used to read,it should be used to lookup.if someone read books without any purpose,it's hard to say he will learn something from it,reading is an interactive process there's a book called "how to read a book",i make a suggestion and introduction to everyone

To me, reading is both a hobby and a way of learning. I read many different types of books. There are books that were written solely to entertain, but there are also others that could entertain and educate you at the same time. I like learning, so for me, educational books are also entertaining. I usually choose books about fantasy and philosophy, two of my favorite book genres.

Everybody views it differently but in my opinion it is actually both. I am an avid reader for pleasure but it also helps a person learn a lot. So I guess each individual will respond differently.

I got addicted to reading when I was in grade school and my English teacher started giving us book reports. That is when I discovered I had this passion for books of all kinds. From the classics like Don Quixote and Les Miserables to the modern novels released. I never get tired of it. It is a good way of de-stressing and learning as well. If one loves to read - the knowledge that comes with the book follows naturally. Plus you get to have a wide variety of words stuck in your brain.

I have been reading since I was very young. For me it's a hobby as well as a way of learning new words, ideas and concepts. I don't know about you, but when I read I become part of the story. I can actually visualise the characters and what they are doing. I become so absorbed, that I am not aware of what is going on around me. When learning new words, ideas and concepts, I take these and apply them to my everyday life. I have gained alot from reading.

I love to read. Mostly novels, but once in a while i'll dip into a non-fiction. I suppose that means i consider it both!

I consider it both. One of my hobbies is to read novels, but even just from reading romantic and mystery novels, I expand my vocabulary. So it can be both esp if you are the type of person who enjoys reading news and stuff about the world and educational literature.

oh definitely both. but i actually dont read anything that im not interested in, so it means that whatever it is that i read,adds to the things that i wanna learn more about. i especialy love to read classic. right now,reading pulitzer prize winners is my reading project. so basically i always learn something from what i read. thanks for the nice question.

To me reading is a hobby, and at the same time it is a way to learn something. I love reading and I always enjoy a good book, and I would say that I have learned a lot from the books that I have read. I like read non-fiction for instanse books about psychology, psychiatry, nursing, art or history, I have learned a lot from those books, but I also feel that I have learned something frm the other books that I have read (novel and short stories). Reading is a nice way to widen my vocabulary, and I am writer myself so I enjoy to read books by others, especially authors who write in a funny or ironic way. Sometimes great stories inspire me and help me find inspiration for my own stories. My mothertongue is Danish, but I also like to read books in English or German. That way I can enjoy a good story and learn something at the same time.

I consider it both, even when I read for pleasure I often still learn things. I think people who don't read are really missing out. I have to read for work and I also learn from that.

Hi, I consider reading also more as a hobby then a method of learning, although I also like to read books about non-fiction subject just to know a little bit more about that subject. So I suppose sometimes I do read in some way of learning, anyway it is a fun way to learn about stuff.

I consider them both. It is a hobby but as you go on reading, you are also learning. It give us something to do that we really enjoy and we are also rewarded with knowledge.
