You read about tree climbing? How much literature can there be on tree climbing? A chapter for each type of tree?

Every day. I love to read. Best way to destress from an online world

how do you find the time?

At least 30 minutes a night.
Sleep way better.

late night before bed instead of watching TV?


I’m sure most people spend at least 30 minutes on phone. Internet or tv. At night

Currently reading Blackwater by ‘bama author Michael McDowell

Every day. It's become more of a thing when we started forgetting to turn the TV on at night and found we didn't miss it.

Kind of sad, but it's been years since I read a book.


I read this board every day. Why would I need to read a book that was published years ago and out of date?

Every year I try and make myself enjoy reading, I just can't get into it.

If I read now it is just when someone is watching a TV show that doesn't interest me. I used to just doomscroll instead, but social media is getting boring.

I’m very particular about writing styles. If I find an author that keeps me interested I will usually just read all of their books. But it is a bit of a chore to find someone that I’m “into”.

Not often anymore as my eyesight is going to shite and it gives me headaches. I do listen to audiobooks almost daily though. Spend quite a bit of time driving through out the week seeing customers.

All the time. Pretty much every day. I usually read late evening before bed.

If I am deep into a book, though, I will read at lunch and throughout the day whenever I have a minute.

I used to read incessantly. At stoplights, in class, during 15 minute breaks at work…whenever.

I try to read all the time
I think I’ve read about 19 books this year
I’m retired so that helps
I use the goodreads app to help with books I’ve read and books I want to read
