I love to read. In 1983 I made a resolution to read a book for each week of the year, just to see if I could do that. I succeeded, and have renewed and kept the resolution every year since! How much do you read?

I tried committing to a book a week but I just can't. I book every two weeks I can handle. I'm a slow reader but I am becoming aware of then need to pick up my pace a little bit as a book a month isn't exactly great for someone who loves books.
This year though, I tried a book a month. So far so good until around June. Things got busy at work around then. But. I. Am. Trying.

Keep it up, rmj. I am not a fast reader, but I seldom sit down without picking up a book and reading a page or two. Or more.

I hope you soon find a way to include some reading in your daily schedule!

so you prefer fiction in books, are the magazines news or people related?

I read a lot. Books, magazines, online articles. There are a couple of sites that offer free downloads of books that are no longer protected by copyright law. So in addition to the seven or eight bookcases in my house, I have a bunch of books stored on my computer. I subscribe to one physical newspaper and three online newspapers.

I also love to read! Before, I can get away with one book a week, but when I started working it became kinda hard, so I settled on reading a chapter or two a day. I also went through being late for work, or not going at all because I spent all night reading. Now that I have some extra time on my hands, I also bought books so that I can read. I have about 8 books lined up and I cant wait to go through them.

I read because i am obligated to not because i want to. The only time i ever read at will is when im online, that is the only time i ever research for myself. For me to read any novel it must a have good title, summary and whatever will make it interesting for me to actually finish it!
