Have to admit it takes me a while to get through a book and i long to improve on this but somehow cant seem to.

Im not a slow reader im just either too tired, forget to read or busy doing something else. The only time i feel its a good time to read is at night in bedbefore sleeping. The other rare occasions in the day when i could read are taken with activities seen asa higher priority.

Some of you are super readers.... all four books at a time and finish them all within one week.

Can i hear from you, when do you read and how do you fit it in with everything else.?

How long did it take you to finish lets say the 'Da Vinci Code' or a book of a similiar size.

When I'm at work I get a WHOLE heap of time. Most of it I'm studying or watching DVDs but I do read a lot there too.

I also read in bed. I go to bed early during the week because I don't like TV so I read there. If it's a REALLY good book then I have to stay up and read it till I fall asleep. MONSTER by Sanyika Shakur was one of those books like that I just read.

I might read several books at once though. I'll have one by the bedside, one at work and one in the bathroom. Yes yes I know. But a lot of my reading gets done either on the bog or in the tub... sorry. I read in the bath till the water gets cold and I have to be adding more... that type of reading.

i used to read one book a week even when at college but since going to uni i dont read as much. sometimes i dont complete a book before moving on to the next. but now i make the effort to read a few pagesbefore bed. if i am travelling i will read providing my baby doesnt require me to tend to him

I usually read in bed or the train on my way to uni. If I have time and really into the book, I finish it in +/- 2 days.

blktypeI find the best time to read is when i am travelling around rather look at monotonous faces lol. I read all the time and i read everything, so it depends on what i am reading, when i read. If its a mag i'd be reading that in breaksbut if its a book i tend to read that in bedor on public transport.If its a really goodread though I won't put it down, i'd be sneaking a read here and there when im suppose to be working!

I don't watch much telly so id read in the evening when there is not a lot on.


Yu tink se me dun but me na dun!
