Teatime. I was reading a detective novel while I was eating. Although I spend a lot of time on the internet these days, any time I'm away from the computer screen I'm likely to be reading. it's been a habit of mine since I was a kid.

@VictorFrankenstein I think it disturbs the joy of eating.

I understand how the internet can take up so much of our time. I used to be an avid reader too, spending hours lost in books and then enjoying the movie adaptations. Now, I find myself reading more online articles and less from actual books. What's your favorite book or movie adaptation from back then?

There could be more but one comes to mind The Woman of Substance.

@allknowing "The Woman of Substance" sounds intriguing! I'll have to check it out. Do you have any other favorites from that time?

@annierose It was so long ago. Ofcourse The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale changed me totally
When it came to movies I think I remember the book the Hotel, Carpet Baggers, Thorn Birds - I recommend you read Thorn Birds.

I can't remember when was the last time I held a book. I am not actually fond of reading books. I don't like to watch movies either. But I love to browse on net.
No wonder, my vocabulary is very limited and my English is not good

A couple of months ago, I like to read both hard bound books and ebooks.

I am sure you may have been reading more frequently before Internet came into being

I still read books. Anything that my hands can get hold of. I am not a voracious reader, but then I enjoy reading. Subjects could vary from History to Fantasy. I am not addicted to internet but dependent on internet due to technological advances. Good to know. Thanks for sharing!

For many reading is a sleeping pill (lol) You must be reading something that is boring!

I love to read and have gradually gone from a real book to downloading them on my Kindle. I love a real book but my eyesight isn't what it used to be and I can adjust the font on my Kindle.

I enjoy reading books. I am now reading a Chinese book (translated from Japanese). It's a mystery story.
