How many hours a day do you read? Does it depend on the day? And where do you like to read? Anywhere? Or a great chair, in bed, outside?

I read a lot I think, at least compared to people around me. I read a little bit pretty much every day, sometimes more sometimes less, but at the very least nearly every night before bed. I find it relaxing.
I have different books for different places and times. I have my morning book that I read while my bunny jumps around me and tries to convince me that he is more interesting than any book. I have the book I carry in my purse or backpack (that one is always a paperback and small) and read whenever I can steal a few moments...no lunch date, waiting at the bank or store, early for a meeting. I have my car book for when I am stuck in the car for some reason and have a few minutes. I have my bed book that I read before I go to sleep. As you can imagine, some of my books take ages to read!That said, sometimes I love a book so much that all the rules go out the door and I carry it around like Christopher Robin did Winnie the Pooh. I don't stop until I finish. Those books are my favorites! The ones I recommend to others and read again!
I read about one - two hours a day. As long as I have pillows to support my knees and back, I can read anywhere, but I generally read on my couch or in my bed. I have tried to read on my lunch break, but don’t like juggling a book and food, so I stick to reruns on Netflix. Does anyone ever worry they read too much instead of doing other things?

It truly does depend on the day, sometimes I can just sit in bed all day and read. The location changes also, sometimes I am in my bed, other times I am outside on the porch. I think it really all about how my mood is playing out that day, oh and the weather.
if i really like a book and i don't have much going on then i will spend a few hours a day reading it. Though when i am in college its hard to fit in a leisure book.
Tried to read 1 book/month since I do work....
My goal is to read 50 books a year. I usually fall short of the goal and this year I am way behind. How fast I read depends on the book. If it's something I really look forward to reading and get caught up in the story, I find that I read much faster. If the book is something that is chosen by others, such as books for a discussion group, I generally read it at a slower rate. It usually takes me from a few days to a week to read an average length novel, even if the book is awesome. Then I don't want it to end!
I typically have one audio book going for the car or long walks and a hard copy book. So far this year, I've read about 50 books. Sometimes I will start a book that is just hard to get into and it will take me a month or two to get through it. Other times, I'll read one in a few days.I have a toddler, so I don't typically get to have all the reading time I use to (and I don't count reading her books to her as me reading books, or I've read about 1000 books this year. Lol), but I make reading a priority for my mental well being.
Everyday it's a perpetual likeness of reading that made me want to read more and in great quantity !
It varies. I tend to read between 30 and 60 books per year, it depends on how the year went. Some months I read like crazy and others I barely do. It depends on the book, time available and many other things.
I like to read a couple hours before bed, in bed. If it is the summer time I like to read by the pool. Sometimes I get in slumps where I don't have as much time to read, or cannot get into anything.
I try to read 50-100 pages on average per day.
I am always reading at least three books, and keep them handy at places and times when I can take a few pre iota moments to read. I just enjoy the escape and learning and mental exercise of it.

I can't spend a day without reading.
I mostly read every day, but it heavily depends on the book on how much. My reading challenge are 40 books each year, so that’s my goal for every year. Sometimes I read more, but the 40 are my minimum and my favorite reading spot is either my bed or the couch :)
i would say i read everyday but maybe not as much as other days tbh
i try to read everyday in bed, it’s a very gd habit i must say.
I try to read daily. I used to read a lot when I was younger, but now I'm finishing 12th grade so I just manage to read around a chapter or so. But sometimes I fall into a reading slump where I don't read for weeks or I get these random bursts of motivation where I finish a book in one sitting.
I read quite a lot. I am usually in the middle of multiple books at any given time and, I have them in different formats so I'm never really without one. I almost always have one audiobook, one Ebook, and one physical book that I'm reading. That way, if I'm in the car I can listen to a book, stuck waiting in line or something like that I can pull up my Ebook on my phone...etc. Sometimes it'll get a little overwhelming and I have to slow down but, this is what works for me for the most part!
currently in a reading slump but I usually read 1 - 4 books a month when I'm not in a slump. It also depends on the month and what I have going on since I'm currently a high school junior
i try to read 10 books a month. that only works when I'm reading books i actually like
a lot compared to people around me but not every day
sometimes a few pages, sometimes a good 250. reaaally depends on how interested i am in a book
i normally read 2 books a month when i’m busy with school!!
I read anywhere I can: the train, home, when I’m done in class, literally wherever. This quote ” a reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.” Gives me sooo much motivation as well
It is kind of difficult for me to read when I have classes because my major is very hardworking (in the health area) so I try to read everyday in the train :)
