I needed to ride an hour of train every time I go to my university. So it's 2 hours including the return trip.
I like to read during commute.

It really depends on the day and how busy I am. I try to read at least 30 minutes a day. A day without reading for me feels weird.

I'm in college so some days my "reading time" is taken up by reading for class. Especially this semester, I'm taking some philosophy courses that require a lot of reading. On weekends though, I typically read for an hour or so. I sometimes listen to audiobooks during my commutes as well, which amounts to an hour a day. I typically listen to podcasts though.

I try to read for at least an hour every day. If the day isn't particularly hectic I can find more time, sometimes reaching two hours.

It depends upon the book and what is happening in my life that day. But, on an average, I usually read a book every other day. Typically the books I read have an average of 400 pages or more. I read pretty fast and usually I am left uninterrupted no more than 45 minutes at a sitting!

I got a new job in a city that is 2 hours away by train, so I can do a lot of reading now (hence joining onlinebookclub). I normally read for about half of every journey, so 2 hours a day.

Everyone thinks I'm bonkers for enjoying the commute, but I actually love it. I've never had so much me-time in my life!

About an hour. Usually at night when my little one is asleep. It’s a way to unwind.... Unfortunately, I’ve been known to stay up all night if it’s a good book, lol

4 or more hours. Reading eases my mind and pain.

I usually try and read for an hour at lunch (mostly I read my OBC books then) and sporadically throughout the day. I almost always spend at least an hour before bed reading. It helps to relax me and focuses my mind on something rather than let it race on my different anxieties ha

Yes. It depends on those things. My reading could range from 5 minutes to 20 hours.

I lose track of time when I read so the time I spent reading each day can be said to be varied. There are days that I spend more of my time reading and there are days that I have little time to read.

During the week, 1-3 hours a day. Weekends are more spotty, 0-2 hours for both Sat/Sun, usually.

I read at breakfast, which usually takes me about 20 minutes, and then I always read on public transport and in the car. I always read before I go to bed but the time I dedicate to a book may vary depending on how much I like it. I'd say I read for at least 1 or 2 hours a day.
