A few years before they died i asked why they reacted so harsh, my mum said they had just converted to Jehova's Witnesses, and thought i needed to keep my head and feet in (their) reality.. It took some self controle not to mention the book they were to much immersed in, they themselves living outside of 'the world' as they called it. Sigh, no use crying over spilled milk, i just hope modern parents have more sense than this. Last edited by Roos; 02-19-2020 at 06:15 AM. Reason: corrections |

Books are crack. I can't stop ingesting them. I want more and more and more! Hundreds of series unfinished and yet I start new ones all the time! No self control! Stern lectures about finishing series go ignored! Wise thoughts about sticking to authors I know get tossed away as new authors pique my interest! Books are crack.

I hate reading, I just do it out of spite.

The same case is with me as well. I can read for whole day without relocating anywhere. To the best of my knowledge, I read for 18 hours a day. But unfortunately due to wrong reading posture, i met with a neck pain. Since then I have made a balance between ebooks and audiobooks.. |

I love reading but only in the last few years have I come back to it, though not quite as enthusiastically as I did in the past. I’ve been an avid reader since I was 4 (yes, Mother taught me to read before I went to school) and it was only the advent of computers which stopped me in my tracks. I became enamoured of them immediately, and lost my reading way. I want to go back to reading DT books, but my arthritis wont let me hold them comfortably for more than a few minutes, so its ebooks all the way. Even dedicated e-readers and my iPad are proving difficult so its come down to the phone. Its OK, but definitely not as nice as reading a “real” book.

I line reading too. But I have to schedule breaks, because sitting too long, though I can get used to it on a comfy chair/couch, isn't good for my health. I ride my bike or do some anaerobic exercise (eg pullups). Plus it gives my eyes a break.
Also I probably need breaks because I have been addicted to the screen/internet (web) surfingand I just got an ereader recently. so I have to develop a capacity/attention span to read for a long time. Sent from my SM-G965W using Tapatalk Last edited by droopy; 03-24-2020 at 09:41 PM. |

I am also a avid book reader
It's been two years since I'm reading Non-fiction books. Now, I can read all day long. What kind of books do you love reading?
