    I go through stages of reading every day, then maybe it pittles down to once a week, then once a month... then back into everyday again. Depends on what I'm reading and whether or not it's a real page turner.

    If I find an autobiography by an interesting person I'll read it.

    I used to read all the time. And then I stopped because babies. I had about 7 hours of uninterrupted alone time over the weekend in which I ran two miles, washed my dog, got lunch, went grocery shopping, caught up on work, and managed to read an entire book, Station Eleven, which I enjoyed a ton.

    All that to say, turns out I haven't lost the ability or desire to read. There's just so little time for it these days. Also, I am super productive when I am not in child rearing mode.

    I love love love reading! My profession calls for me to constantly be reading up about new policies and ways of teaching and stuff. When I get the opportunity- which isn't often, usually just on holidays- I LOVE reading.

    The books that I chose to read are my way of escaping. I love my typically girly romcom type books. Something I can read without having to concentrate too much. As a die- hard romantic, I love being able to pick up a book and read a really easy book with a nice love theme that leaves me feeling all warm and fuzzy afterwards. I'm a pretty fast reader and if I like a book, I can easily read it (approx 300-400 pages) within a couple of hours. A couple of days ago I read a book called Fairytale of New York. It was a great little book and was just the pick-me-up I needed after feeling so naff.

    Reading for school? - Check! I'm in college, and even with half-time there's still reading I need to do.

    Reading for pleasure that's not internet or video game text? - Kinda check. For one of my classes, I still like to arrive at 8 o'clock just so I can find parking even though class doesn't begin until 9:30. So I bring a book to read before class. So I don't read everyday. Instead it's a few days a week.

    I read every day on the train ride to work. Soon I will be driving to work (and it will reduce my commute by 1/2) so I will need to find other opportunities to read. Perhaps I'll get into audiobooks.

    I read when ever I have work to do, which is almost daily with weekends being generally an exception. This means mostly technical, science, math stuff, which is to say, nothing I'll normally pick if I had a choice. I used to do a lot of reading, I'm a fan of fantasy, and most of the reading I have done has been spent with Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, A Song of Ice and Fire, Harry Potter, and Dragon Lance.

    As of right now for entertainment I am reading a book called Wage Slave Rebellion, which is entertaining but I haven't read enough into it to give a better opinion of it.

    If you count screenplays then yeah. I've gotten four screenplays in the past few days but I've accepted that as part of being a producer now.

    Except the difference is research papers are not stories, so that doesn't work.
