I hate reading :(

Aww, I'm sorry you hate reading, then again if I had to read something I am not interested in, then I'd hate it too. My English class this fall will be on writing a book report, which can be very exciting for me if I am given choices and I find a book I like..But, if I have to read something that is boring to do a book report on, I will have to struggle.. That said, since I am not in math now, I am working on my own story, I hope that when I get it published that you find it very interesting..

Before, I loved to read. I am always interested in finding a new book, after reading a book. But, after marriage, I became no longer interested to read.

I do not like reading too. I also get sleepy sometimes when I begin to read too. But I think it is because I do not like the smell of paper. mostly when I read on the screen I do not feel that way. I am more interested in watching movies so I would prefer to watch the movie rather than read the books.

It is a pity that you dont like reading ! you really are missing out on so much that is out there.Books transport you to a different world altogether and you learn so much just by sitting at home or wherever ! I love to read and find that I become edgy and irritable when I have no book to read at bedtime..I re read books if I dont have any new ones.The one thing I really splurge on is books ..all the best Letran and enjoy your weekend

Me too...hehehe I prefer reading online articles lately. I read books for my work for leisure, I read when I'm interested to the book.

Hi LK! If you don't like to read and you got choice not to read them then don't read. But unfortunately you still need to read the Da vinci code book as you said it is required for your class... I read that book in one day because I really excited to know what happen and how they solve the problems. There are other book of Dan Brown- Digital Fortress and since it full with computer and language encryption I really love to read it and finish in a day. That is maybe because I love reading. I am not sure if there are tips to make one reading if one already hate to do so..(^^)

I think the liking to anything is not necessarily inborn. For instance if I ask "Do you enjoy donuts", the answer being positive or negative will depend on how donuts were first introduced to you. If the right kind of chef had prepared your donuts, you will be drawn towards donuts like a fish to water. Similarly, reading also is an attraction. Authors have the ability to draw the reader towards it. People little to songs but not everone likes the same kind of songs. I read DaVinci Code and liked it so much that I went on reading most of Dan Brown's books. The film is good, but reading makes you live in the story.

I love reading, but if that is novel and if the summary of the story is interesting. I love reading self help books, it keeps me determine and i start planning and everything and set aside again and back to normal. . But if I will be reading because I just found a book below my bed, I will just get sleepy and like you when i wake up i will remember i am reading something because it must be on top of my face when I wake up. I love reading discussions here and other forum. I love reading articles, but I am not reading any books right now or novels. NOt unless i love the story.

While each person is entitled to his preferences, the fact still remains that for the complete development of the mind, there must be serious and intellectual reading, not just reading. Reading is an acquired habit nurtured from young. You are just the total opposite of me as books have become my constant companions while I couldn't grasp the whole story in movies. I couldn't understand the plots in movies so I rather read a novel then to watch a movie.

Aww don't hate reading because of bad school books! Lol. I also hated assigned reading for my classes, but I love reading on my own time, and books that I get to choose. Maybe you just have to find the right book for you...what kind of movies do you like to watch? If you like to watch horror movies I would suggest giving Stephen King or Dean Koontz a try. If you like mystery's I would suggest Nora Roberts.

My husband hates reading too and I have a problem understanding that because I adore reading and curse the fact that I don’t have as much time as I would like to catch up on my favourite books which are sitting on the bookshelf waiting for me. We’re all different I guess I love both books and movies although the book is always better lol!

I am sorry that you hate reading. I love it! I usually always carry a book with me, but this past week for my birthday my boyfriend bought me a Nook. I am so excited to have this and I have been downloading as many free books as I can get my hands on and I have been reading up a storm. Some books are better than others. If I end up not liking it I don't have to finish it. And usually if I read a book and then see the movie I don't like the movie as much because it doesn't really match the book. The exception is to read a book like 'Emma' and then see a movie like 'Clueless' which is a modernized version of the old classic and then see just what they matched to the book and what they had to change for modern day entertainment is really fun for me to see.

Hi Letran Knight: Wow I feel surprised because I really love reading. Actually I would read more than I do if I have the time. i think reading helps you to improve your argumentation level, also your imagination increase and you are a better writer because you have explore the works that other people do. ALVARO

Reading culture is dying at a fast pace. This is because most people are exposed to modern technologies such as blackberries,iphone,ipad,ipod,android phones. The traditional style of reading books is no longer being done by youth.

but letran you are so fluent and I would have thought you were an avid reader but why not find books in the topics that appeal to'you.I love to read b ut I am particular what kind of fiction I read. I love murder mysteries and who done its and Stephen Kings books I bet you would like his stories as they are so different. anyway do try to cultivate a love of reading as its so helpful in life.

The love of reading comes with different reasons for different people. Majority of the people I know hate reading and don't develop it as a skill since it is often thought as a basic skill that everybody can learn and use. However, some people have advance reading skills due to their exposure to a lot of materials and constant reading. I don't blame you if you're not a voracious reader. Some people aren't really into reading but it doesn't make them less smart or an inferior person. But many can attest that reading can do wonders for the mind and a good skill to keep if your into knowledge and research. It depedns on how you view and treat reading in your life. I am a reader and I devour all kinds of materials - from the lengthy sermons to analyze to the popular pocketbooks. I also watch movies if I feel that the author is turning into the Sandman instead. For me, reading as a skill that is not something you can force into a person - a person has to embrace the skill and do 'practice reading'.

But there should be some interest of reading or you would not read all the comments here on mylot, nor would you be on the internet reading the words for accessing mylot website, Right? Then there are many more words in a written book in comparison with reading all the words using the internet..... just wondering...

Hello Lk, I also don't have the habit of reading from the school days. I remember i used to sleep whenever i was asked to read text books by my father in childhood.And now when i am in to the job i don't get time to read but thats for sure that if today also someone ask me to read a book i know i won't complete the cover page and will sleep. But to start reading NEWS articles,GK books will definitely develop interest in reading.I sometimes read newspaper in the morning when i become full ready to go to job because i know at that time i won't get asleep.

Cheers mate, I feel the same way! If someone forces you to do something, it will no longer be fun for you, naturally. So, what can we do? Simple, just find something that you think will be worth reading. I understand how long paragraphs of text can be tedious, so why not try comics, instead? Gradually you'll become interested in other things, as well.

Well, I hate reading too..I feel sleepy and in most cases get bored. Besides, I tend to forget things which I acquire trough reading. Most of the knowledge I acquire are from Television and Internet. Perhaps, there could be ways of developing reading habits.
