Do you have a habit of reading?

I love to read. I am a fan of mysteries, romance and some science fiction novels. I am also into self help books and some non-fiction books as well. I have always liked to read since I was small. I can read a novel in one day if I have the time to devote to it. (That is not done lately with the kids, work and of course the home life). I do enjoy reading a book over watching tv. Reading helps to relax me physically but also stimulate my brain at the same time!

Reading is one of the skills I learned to use when I was at school. It gave me the opportunity to read picture books when I was a young child and novels when I became older. In my life today, as an adult, print is everywhere. Reading print is an essential skill. I like to visit my local library. I have many books of my own and I like to read some magazines. Reading became my habit because it is something that I enjoy. It goes hand in hand with writing.

I grew up in a house where reading was a popular pass-time. My parents would consistently read me books, and not just picture books. My mom even asked me to follow along while she was reading so I could learn to read too. By the time I was in 2nd grade I was consistently reading throughout the week. Now, I'm the biggest reader in my family. I read two or three books a week, and if I don't have a book to read then I feel lost. I read because I like getting into a story where the images are all mine to conjure. I love hearing new stories, and envisioning them in my mind.

Hello careguarden. I love to read especially inspirational, devotional and informative books and articles even in the internet. Reading keeps our mind mentally sharp and also teaches us many lessons in life , etc. Reading has become my habit ever since I was a child. It is part of my life. Yet I also guard against reading magazines, articles or books which neither teach nor inform about goodwill but rather mislead people or promote violence, hatred, indecency and other bad behavior. There are many websites, books, magazines, newspaper articles and other reading materials which do just that and I'm careful about those things.

I read daily but not much. I usually read the local news everyday. It has become my habit of reading newspapers (if that could be what you meant by your question). In my younger years, I read novels and pocketbooks every weekend. But when I had my children, I didn't have much time to do that. With the advent laptops and computers, I had spent more time online. I wish I can find good novels so I can try on it again.

I love to read. It's my passion. I can't do without reading. Mostly I read good story books. Contemporary or classics, I read them all. I enjoy reading and learn a lot from it. I also like to read poetry. I'm a poetry fan.

I do enjoy reading and have been an avid reader since I was a kid though I've not done nearly as much over the past couple yrs as I would have liked..i wouldnt call it a "habit" though... why do i read? I enjoy it...I enjoy fiction for the escape or excitement of the story and I read nonfiction for the educational purposes....

I just love to read so I do it every night before I go to sleep! I love mystery scary type books! I remember reading in bed at night with my mother when I was little, maybe that helped me like reading!

I enjoy reading, but I also enjoy being on the computer and the only place I can read that the cats don't torment me is sitting in front of the computer! So, I often read a few pages and then get back on the computer - when I have a book I want to read.

Hi careguarden, reading is the one thing which is consistent in my life and I can't imagine being without books. I read for pleausure but learn so much too from books and always like the insight into different cultures they give, or a perspective on past events. I passed the habit on to my son and taught him to read in English when he was three, and he's always got a book on the go as well, but he also learnt to read in Greek when he started school so has double pleasure in having two languages to read in.

Hi, your discussion caught my attention because it came under my interests. Yes, I love to read. When I was young, I love to read picture books, magazines, comic books and journals. What I meant with journals, I mean the magazines of organizations like the public school teachers' organization to which my aunt, a public school teacher herself, is a member. I used to dig on the old issues and directly go to the short story and anecdotes sections. I enjoyed reading short stories because I feel I could learn from them. What really intrigued me--because the types I've read from the journals were not yet taken up in my class, given that the ones published in the journals were contributions from various teachers and students all across my country. That was the interesting part. Now, I'm a grown up and I thank those journals because they helped educate me in terms of dealing with situations. It also helped me improve my English. Thanks for taking this up. Thanks...

I enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing. Just like maximax said, it comes hand in hand. I love reading novels and self help books. My favourite genre is fantasy. I am so interested in a world that is different with where we are living now. Magic and adventure are my things! I started to read when I was about 5 or 6 years old. That time colourful children magazines really catched my eyes. As I become older I choose the 'heavier' ones to read, novels for example. Reading is part of my life, and I can't imagine living my life without something to read.

I dont have the habit of reading from my school days its very hard for me to read books , since i m lazy enjoying life, But i like peoples reading book, from my school days i use to prepare for the exams by getting the idea about the subject orally from my friends who read books well.

Hi I like to read from when i was in school.I like to read novels,stories,fiction,anything interesting.later on I develop the habit of reading news papers.I think reading increase your knowledge and update it.its a good time pass too.

I've always loved reading and most of time, I read to relax. I also read to analyze different writing styles of authors. Reading takes me to lots of places and broadens my imagination.
