Reasons to read more? How often do you read?

I read at least a couple of books a month. I enjoy reading and that's why I do it. I think it also improved your vocabulary/writing skills if that's something which matters to you.

When is it that you find time to read may I ask? Im unsure how often I should put the time in daily.

Usually it varies but I read at least one a book a month (I'm in a book club) and try to read about a book a week. I read non-fiction much slower than fiction though

Little bit every night
Then there's the textbooks and stuff before/during lessons

Sounds like me currently

I read whenever I fancy it, sometimes I go a few days without reading, sometimes I sit and read for half the day. I read more in summer as I'll go sit outside with a book. Honestly when I read varies, before bed is always a good time as it helps you relax but I quite often grab my kindle for half an hour after I finish work and I usually take it with me and read during breaks.

Yep! Nothing wrong with that!
I will increase the amount I read as this year elapses!
It's important to read for your vocabulary, learning (non-fiction) and also if you're learning a foreign language - reading in it is very beneficial! (I was reading a French novel but now just a page a day )

I guess so!
Well that is my plan too, when I have free time I want to read and get into the habit.

That is good advice, I am planning to learn a language too (French or Russian - I already know some basics of Russian and some of the alphabet). Maybe foreign books will be a think I attempt when I go to university in September as I might take a language module with my course

Definitely! What sort of books do you like to read?
Go for it! Start with something simple like: Teen Readers
I was very tempted to as well!
If you come across a word you don't know whilst reading, write it down and then maybe put it on www.quizlet.com or www.memrise.com and learn it

Hmm well it depends, I have non fiction stuff about the deep ocean and science stuff which I like, but in terms of fiction I am more open to lots of things, I have books such as the hobbit, which I haven't read much of, Harry Potter too, but right now I am happy to read anything interesting. I have a book called titan by Stephen Baxter, I'm gonna start reading that

What about you? I used to use memrise so I am quite used to that :3

Ah ok
I read all sorts! From classics, to non-fiction on Chemistry/Physics/random topics of interest such as French Literature or the Highway Code to thrillers/crimes/fantasy . I am a particular fan of books you can't put down etc.
At the moment I am reading The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle and a bit of L'etranger - Camus.

Nice
I like Quizlet for making my own but memrise for using that of others

I like to read up on different stuff too, in terms of classics I read some of the origin of Species 2nd edition and I plan to pick that back up, what classics do you like?

I love science so anything regarding planets and the earth/space travel I will read up on, I usually do this online as well as books. I do lots of reading on these subjects and always have, things like mountains and anthropology is all part of my interests

That sounds great but I can't say I know much about the book :P

I will check Quizlet out!

Erm I meant fictional classics, like Dickens or Caroll or something. I like the Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett the most

Same I like reading about the cross between Physics/Chemistry and weird Chemistry and Chemistry and erm Space is cool


Go for it! I can PM u my Quizlet username if you're interested in my French Quizlets

Ohh okay still sounds great! I will look into them

Yes it is really interesting, I love biology and the link with physics, also astrobiology! Extraterrestrial life and stuff what do you like abput chemistry the most and are you studying it at university? :P

Okay sure thing! I might be a little while to reply though as I have to go offline for a little while.
