All the time. I'll take books to movie theaters, to read before the previews start. I'm currently reading The Myth of Sisyphus but Albert Camus, concerning the philosophy of the absurd.
Poll: Do you read a lot?

Don't know if you mean for recreation or just in general.brodie21 said:
For recreation, occasionally not because I dont want to just because I dont have time.
But everyone reads all the time in general...
I think I've got through about 20 good sized books since June, as well as countless manga and webcomics.
Ditto, only replace "Networking fundamentals" with "assorted core texts about WW1 and the French Revolution" I used to read a lot for pleasure, but those days are over now I'm at uni.iJosh said:
No longer can I consume Sharpe novels, the Flashman Chronicles, The Gaunts Ghosts series and other awesomeness

Everything I can lay my hands on.
I'm currently trudging through War and Peace, and I've ordered a bunch of Flashman novels for Christmas to see what they're like.
I also write my own stuff, for personal pleasure, not publishing

It comes and goes in waves. For the most part during school, I read a lot for classes but not much for fun. After spending a week reading 800 pages of Dostoyevsky's Demon's and parts of Heradotus, I just find myself not wanting to sit down and read recreationally, especially considering that in two weeks I have to read both Antigone and Medea and more Russian literature.
I do read a couple of news articles a day and want to keep up more with SCOTUSblog. I also have two novels waiting for when I have free time again. Now, if you will excuse me, I have more Dostoyevsky.
(Also, I find it weird that the only author of piece of literature the Apple spellcheck software approved was Antigone).

I read all the fucking time. What would take a person over a month to finish I can finish in less than a day. (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows took me less than twelve hours to finish, and I stopped reading it several times the day I got it because of how bad/boring it was.)
I'm always looking for something good to read and I'm always up for getting a new book. But I almost never get a new book or find something I haven't read yet that's good so I'm often re-reading the books I have several times over.
My love of books has spread into my career choice, which is a book writer. (current work is Shadow of the Day[working title], which I'm at the moment in the middle of editing and re-editing.)

I read constantly, Mostly stuff like Clive Cussler, Michael Crichton, Robert Ludlum, etc. Occasionally I'll read a book based on a game, but most of the time I'd rather just play the game.
I used to read a lot more books than I do now. I still read the newspaper during the weekdays when I can scam it free from uni. I just found my life got a little busy with study to sit down for a few hours with a book, which is a shame as I don't mind reading.
