how many hours a day or week do you read??

[LSK]

I wish I spent more time, but I figure I spend under 10 hours a week reading a book with my busy schedule of working fulltime.

So how much time do you get to read?

[Psephos]

1. 3 or 4 hours, most days

Wish I could read more, but then, don't we all?

I'm a writer, and consider it part of my job...heh heh, at least that's what I tell people.

Peace.

2. Around 30 hours a week

Running & Reading those are my things and I do A LOT of both! It is a luxury I have worked hard for all my life.

14. Same here....

I usually read a fiction and a non fiction at the same time....

3. You mean books?

Does reading online count?

[LSK]

9. just books

I dont count online.

10. Books don't have scrollbars :(

Having to move my eyes while I'm reading seems so 20th Century :(

13. well

freedom of the press is limited to those who own one. remember that next time you are reading your precious 'books'. just kidding

4. Maybe 4 hours a day. I am retired. I just love to read

I tend to do a subject to death. I love this PC as I can look up things to do with my reading as I go along. I used to do it at the library once a week and now I am learning to use this thing better. I keep hitting college sites that I can not seem to get into. Guess I must find out about these which I do not understand yet.

5. Books 1-2 hours a day. If you include the internet, hours not at

work would be around 28 hours. I work all day on the computer as a programmer. So that would be even more. I should get a life.

6. Books 15-30 hours a week most of the time. Varies.

Counting online, newspapers, and magazines, at least 8 hours a day, often more.

7. At least four hours a day.

I read a lot. I'm ill and not currently working so it helps pass the time, but I'm a lifelong bookworm.

8. 10 to 15 hours a week. I should read more.

11. 3 - 4 hours a day

Between the time reading on the El back and forth to work, lunch hour and home, that's how many hours per day I can read a book.

[angry_chuck]

12. 5 hrs or so

with the net + books and maybe 10 minutes looking through the local paper to see how many stories it is carrying that I read a day earlier on RSS

15. 4-5 hours daily

worth of books. I read times and the news online aswell as this sweet place as leisure reading.

16. 44 hours a week

You might wonder how I know that. It's because years ago, I kept track of my time--every waking minute of the day. I analyzed my time and what I did with it. Turns out I average 44 hours a week reading. This figure includes Internet reading time, which I think should be included. My I'net reading time has increased over books and magazines.

Note to Izzie: to really get into the academic databases, I think you have to be a student or faculty member. It would be well worth registering for a course to get access to the academic databases. There you will find a wealth of reading that is so far beyond what is available on the I'net. It's like Christmas! Thousands of scholarly databases, creative works--it's just amazing. I have access to numerous university and college databases and oh, how I love it. It is a whole different world.

BTW, these databases can be extremely expensive. An example: a limited subscription to Lexis Nexis alone can be seven grand a year. Your college tuition for a course is what--a few hundred bucks? And you'll get access to all the databases--not just one. Most have at-home access so you'll be able to read from your own home PC.

17. Catch as catch can!

I have 2 young children (5 & 3), so I don't get nearly as much time to read as I would like. I have to make the time, so it takes me forever to finish a book!

Pre-kids, I read a couple of books a week.

18. 2 - 4 hours a day

Since I go to the library regularly, I never get a chance to read a book I actually own.
