    How much do you read?

    The question is simple, How much do you read? Answer in hours or books, doesn't matter. I'm just curious. Maybe say the genres you like to read, a favorite author or two, whatever.

    I try and get through a novel every week, sometimes more, sometimes less. Right now I am on a John Grisham binge, but am trying to read some of the more classic books.

    I used to read stuff like Robert Jordan and Tom Clancy when I was homeschooled. Then I realised I had no friends and came to public school

    No time to read now. I have to read for my lit class but that was last semester. They forced us to read the crappiest books..

    Never read Jane Eyre, it sucks.


    The last book I read on my free time was a parody of Harry potter.. it was pretty funny.. about a year ago.

      I try to read a little here and there. Probably on average I read 30-45 minutes a day.

            We have to read a half hour every day at school, generally I just read cycle world, because a novel makes me too tired for last class. Other than that, I'd say about 6 hours a week.

            Excluding the internet of course.


            I just started Jon Stewarts book, its kinda funny so far.

              I am a sad case. I have lost pretty much all zest for reading. I mostly have my highschool to blame for being so concerned with reading something "appropiate" that they left us nothing but bad stories about racial tolerance and such.

              So in short, I read maybe a good a year on my own.....if that. The only books I really own are
              Beowulf
              Grendel
              The Cay
              Oh the Places you'll go


              Probably my four favorites.

                I read probably about 2 hours a day. I enjoy just about anything. Love Clancy, Asimov, Pratchett, Grisham, and a bunch of other authors I can't think of right now.

                  I usually read Clancy, Griffin, Ludlum, King between class and work. About 3-5 hours a week.

                    Several hours a day.

                    But its all required. Almost every course I'm taking this semester requires a rather large reading done for every class. I enjoy reading philosophy, but sometimes its tough to keep up.

                      My reading varies, but on average, I'd say I read about an hour a day. Favorite writers include Tom Clancy, Dan Brown, Dale Brown, and Edgar Rice Burroughs.

                          I try to read a book a week. But it is usually less although lately I have been doing good.

                            A lot. I'm a history/Psychology double major. I read about 20 hours a week conservatively. During the summer I curb it back, but read stuff I like. A little fiction too

                              The last book I read was the last Harry Potter book that came out. And that was like 2 year ago. OTher than that, the only reading I do is on the internet.
