I read a lot less because if I didn't do all the other things that needed to be done first, nothing would ever get done period!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I tend to read less!. It started in the 10th grade when I finally had to cut down on reading!. I was going through a very difficult time with school and family, and I had a lot of issues, and reading was the farthest thing from my mind!. I then had to get eyeglasses in the 11th grade, and I wasn't really used to them to pick up reading right off the bat!. So!.!.!.it wasn't until the summer a few years after graduation that I finally got back into reading!. I started with an easy book, a fear street book by R!.L!.Stine, and then went to more complicated works, like IT by Stephen King!. Then I trailed off some more, but now I'm back into the habit! I usally have a bad habit of starting a book, stopping midway, and then along time later (sometimes a whole year later!) picking it back up and resuming where I left off!. If I really can't remember anything about what I read so long ago, I just start the novel completely over again!. Although I have yet to do this!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Much, much less!. When I was younger, my mother did my laundry!. Now I have to do it and it takes time away from my reading!. My mother cooked my meals!. Now, I do it and there's less time for me to read!. My mother went to work and earned money!. Now I have a business and have much less time to read!. My mother took care of almost all my needs, now I also have to take care of three other people!. also, I left Brooklyn and moved to Manhattan; I used to do a lot of reading on the train; now, I take the bus and read a paper or magazine, not a book!. I still read in bed before I go to sleep, but often that's the only reading I do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Less now that I've got kids and a house to take care of, but that's how I unwind when I get a moment!. To me, an afternoon wandering the library is a perfect mini-vacation!. :) I used to literally bring home stacks of twenty books or so at a time and read half of them in one day!. Not so much anymore, but not because I don't want to :)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Due to my line of work, which I do love, I read work related things alot!.!.!.And I like to study!.!.!.So I increase knowledge, hopefully, by doing that!.!.!.!.My time is limited, life gets a wee bit crazy sometimes, and things that once were strong passions, sometimes have to sit on the back burner for a while!. I read less that is for sure!.!.!.but what I read is usually something that turns out to be very valuable in life!. I love a thick plotted thriller mystery though!.!.!. :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Less by far!. I'm 27 now, and when I was a teenager, I read all the time!. Now, though, I just can't seem to find the time!. Or even when I do, I don't get as involved and read for as long!. I guess, life takes over when you have a job and a child and husband and blah, blah, blah!.!.!.

I'm working on it though!. Reading is something that I think is almost therapeutic for me!. As Blind Melon said, "!.!.!.It rips my life away, but it's a great escape!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

I read less now because I have less time!. When I get to a point where I have some extra time, and stop spending all my spare time on Y!A, I will read a little more!. I used to have a job that allowed me to listen to books on tape and still be able to do my work efficiently!. I loved that job!Www@QuestionHome@Com

less
I just don't have the time after having kids and running a household to read as much as I would like
My Mom loved reading and used to tell me as a young, busy Mom she would cry because she couldn't find time to read as much as she liked!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

When I was younger, I read stuff only for school!. Which put me off to reading all together!. But I was always writing!.

Now I read atleast 3 books at a time, 2 mostly!.
