I have tried to read again. Many years ago, I spent more time reading books. But when I started working, reading became a boring thing to me.
But I feel intellectually retarded when I don't read. So for days now, I have spent some time reading a book.
My recent favorite is Roald Dahl.
What about you?

I love to read. My reading has reduced a lot over years as there are more and more responsibilities to be taken care of. But I still make sure that I read a bit in afternoon be it some articles online or a book or a newspaper.
Roald Dahl's books are ageless. My younger one has again picked up Matilda this vacation. She is reading it for the third time

@Janet357 Agree..though it's supposed to be for young readers, I have still not outgrown it

Short of the reading required to post here, or the occassional fan fiction. I don't really read anymore. I kind of have been turned off to it, because of it being forced on me as a kid.

I do a lot of reading and research but I do it on the internet now, mostly on current events, DIY, preparedness, financial literacy ,history and everything else

During the last year, I've been reading one book right after another. Am I learning? No, but the mental exercise is keeping my mind active and less apt to worry.

@Janet357 Dementia is sometimes from inactivity of the human brain. It starts to break down.

It is a variety of authors but now I'm trying to finish 'Think and Grow Rich'.

I love to read but I find it harder to find the time nowadays. At least, time to read my own books. I mean I always have one on the go, but often I can only read a page every day or two! I do read to the girls almost every day though, and now they are older it's much better as we can share books we all enjoy : )
