Would you say that you read about the same amount now as when you were younger? More? Less? Why?
I read a lot more this year than I have in the past five years, definitely.
As a child though, I'm sure I read all the time. I remember getting piles from the library, and reading all the time, even after I was supposed to turn my light out, gasp! And seriously, for a long time, that was the baddest thing I ever did.
I think I changed in my teens, found more bad things to get into, and probably read less. I couldsn't let myself read in University, however, because if I started to read a book, I'd read until it was done. So I couldn't let myself read novels until summer break.
But as long as I can remember, I've always read. But never as much as this year.
Yeah, the bad things took the place of reading for me too.
ReplyDeleteI was the same way in school. I couldn't do much pleasure reading or else it would affect my studies. But boy did I make up for it during the summer months and holidays!
ReplyDeleteHopefully your trend towards reading more will continue into the next year. I know I'm never happier than when I have a book in my hand. ;)
ReplyDeleteit's so great that this year is a terrific reading year for you! keep enjoying it!
