I normally read an hour to two hours a day. I find it relaxing to leave my phone in another room and have a couple of hours of peace. Plus, depending on what I am reading I have the chance to learn something.

I am currently reading "A Great and Noble Scheme" by John Mack Faragher. It was recommended in a thread here a month or so ago. It is about the expulsion of the Acadians from Canada and how they Devolved in to cajuns.

Not as much as I would like to. My reading usually consists of reading threads on tiger droppings.

Not enough other than TD or news on the phone. I am 35 and honestly may have read 1 book my entire life front to back. Always got by in school with cliffsnotes, and skimming chapters. I recently told my wife I want to try reading some lol, as crazy as that sounds

I have to read a lot for work, so not as much as I'd like to.

I've been in a book club for 2 years now and have yet to read one of the selected books. Depending on wine consumption, I pretend I did read it and things get a little dicey.

Thread titles.

Didn't bother with the rest of your excessive OP.

I read constantly when I was a kid and then kind of slowed up when I started college. I hadn't read a book in years until a couple years ago. I couldn't focus on a book for more than 10 or 15 minutes because my attention span from facebook and a phone had gone to crap (i guess that's the reason). It's helped me a lot with staying focused at work, listening to the gf talk, and even with things like hunting and fishing. I have a much longer attention span and do not get distracted as easy.

I do not read as much as I used to, probably less than 10 hours per week that is non work related.

I read on my phone or tablet when reading for pleasure.

About a book a month.
Wish I would read more.

My 86+ year old mother reads about a book a week.

I try to read 15-20 books a year. I read at least a few chapters every night.
