I don't have very much time for reading due to crazy scheduling, but I try to fit it in whenever I can. However, recently I read a 1,000 page ebook in just two nights. It really depends on the quality of what I'm reading.

I don't ever get bored of reading, it just depends on whether I have time or not. I read more on vacations than during a college year for example and I stop reading during exams, so it depends on my schedule.

When I was at school, I would get anxiety, sadly. So sometimes I had no patience with my books because I had to complete other assignments, and responsibilities at school.

I don't ever get bored of reading. I try and read everyday, usually an hour before bed. However, hectic schedules make it a bit difficult especially when you are preparing for exams or busy with pre-college classes and studying. The only time I stop reading is when I really can't but never because of boredom.

I actually went through a solid year of not reading.
Then I went to my local bookstore for one book on photography, and fell in love all over again.
I walked out of that store two hundred dollars poorer, but so much richer at the same time.
I will forever cherish the warm smell of old books, and the bright smell of new ones.

Never! Reading is so enjoyable! This year I didn't manage to read as much as I wanted and I was miserable. I do believe I'll never get tired of them.

I go through phases of what type of reading material I like to read. Hardcore deep stuff, or floaty, easy, meaningless books.

Latest Review: "Night of the Chupacabra" by Michael Hebler

Post by Meg0169 »

I definitely go through phases of not reading, or reading for only short periods of time. It tends to happen when I am busy or when I have just read a book that took up a lot of my time and energy because of its denseness or quality. I tend to read more when I am reading a series or when the book is so good that I cannot put it down. I would not say I ever truly "get bored" of reading, I merely need a break. I do not think I could ever truly get bored of reading unless they burned every single book in the world (and e-books) and only wrote romance novels. Then I would truly be bored.

I don't typically get bored with reading. Sometimes I'll take a break for a couple of days, but then
I'm back on it reading around 2 to 3 chapters a day and sometimes as many as 100 to 150 pages a day.

For me it really depends on whether or not I have the time. During the summer I tend not to be quite as fast, as I have many things I am doing. But during the winter, I stay in most of the time and just read.

Latest Review: "Fleeing Eden" by Trisha M. Wilson

Post by Laurencbosch »

This happens to me. Especially when I am in school and I have no time to read anything other than textbooks, but it also happens when I read at least 70 pages of a book every day until I finish and then I do not have another book to immediately pick up and get into. It then takes me a long time to get back into reading that much. I still account it to school and always feeling like I do not have enough time to do anything but study.

There have been times when I can't seem to find a book that I would like to read, even though I have so many on my shelf that I want to read. However, I do believe these short periods are probably stresses from work. Once I have calmed down/solve whatever problems I was facing, then I quickly get back into the rhythm of reading.
