I'm the same!. I prefer to read in peace in the day!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Personally, I read everywhere!. Before bed is generally when i find the most time to read, and I just put the book down and start to listen to music when I start to get tired, which is normally around 10 pm ish, no matter when I start!.

Reading gets me into trouble a bit with my parents because I tend to get kind of absorbed when in the middle of reading a good book, and I either forget about other obligations, or I procrastinate about doing my homework, helping out around the house, etc!. I n reality though, as far as homework goes, even though I spend a good part of my time reading I still do well on homework and schoolwork and get straight As( even though if it's a Really good book, I even carry it around school and read in my spare time)!.!.!.so it's not really a huge issue!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

[all my answers are if I am reading a good book because I probably wouldn't do most of this if I didn't like the book!.]

I always read in bed but then I don't go to sleep for a really long time because I get so into the book and I can't stop reading it so even though I love it I try not to do it that much or I will be really sleep deprived :] !.

Well I don't really have any reading habits!. I just read at random times or whenever I want to read!. I don't read for a certain ammount of time either!. I sometimes try to put a book down but then I have to start reading it again!.

Hahh yes I have gotten in trouble from reading!. I don't have a job so it hasn't gotten me in trouble with that yet but I forget to do things like housework and homework!. :] I also have gotten in trouble for not going to sleep, not practicing piano, not walking my dog, not cleaning my fish bowl, not getting out of bed until wayy late in the afternoon, and once I even faked sick because I wanted to read a book so bad! [ha a bit obsessive aren't I!?]!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love reading in bed - but it has a downside - I can't go to sleep! I keep wanting to read more and more!.

With the above problem, I've definitely had my share of times of staying up way to late reading!. It's never negatively afftected things - I'll just be grumpy the next day!.

But oh, yea, I'm sure there were times when I neglected homework to read, and I know I didn't go do some stuff I was supposed to just the other day because I was too involved in my book!.

Oh - funny - I burnt myself once too! So!.!. does bodily harm enter into your question!? (I was up late reading when I was little, and wanted more light so I took the shade off of my lamp - I went to switch the fan off and my arm came down on the hot hot bulb - it was painful!. That was the first time I took care of myself with a serious boo-boo :) )

Ok, enough rambling - sorry!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm very fidgety so I have to do my reading either on a rocking chair to satisfy my dancing feet, or while walking around (but it's too easy to blindly run into people/stuff so I do that every so often!.!.!.)!. I can't seem to read in the nighttime either, but it's not because of falling asleep!. Nighttime is writing/drawing time for me!.

And oh yes, reading has got me into plenty of trouble--more than it should!. My parents aren't so bad about this anymore since I've been of age for some time, but back in the day they HATED it when I read books!. They thought (and still think) reading is a waste of time when I should be studying math!. So I used to go to the library and lie, saying that I was going there to do homework, but then ended up spending the time reading!. They eventually caught me--and I got into so much trouble!. Heck, I probably could've went through less trouble from them if I got a DUI instead!.

Still doesn't make sense!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love to read in bed!. Every night I read for a half an hour before bed!. Unless of course, the book is extremely good, I will stay up quite late!.

Reading has gotten me in trouble a few times!. Sometimes I stay up until like 5 in the morning to finish a book!. And in school I read constantly, and skip classwork because of it!. Oops!
