<p>Title says it all.</p>
<p>Haven’t read a book for pleasure in a while</p>
<p>I do, but it’s harder to find time. Almost done with my current book. I hope to maintain reading for pleasure all year.</p>
<p>Haven’t had time in a long while.</p>
<p>Only during summer break. I’ve only read like four books this summer though.</p>
<p>^^^^^^I must say, my young chap, that reading “for fun” as you call it, can be quite beneficial to your future endeavors. I encourage it most vigorously!</p>
<p>Of course. And not just for fun but I feel I benefit from it.
Although during periods when I’m occupied with exams/competitions/performances, I do not do it much.</p>
<p>Reading for fun is for chumps. :)</p>
<p>No. But if I am allowed to pick a book of choice for a book report I guess that counts</p>
<p>Reading is ****ing lame.</p>
<p>I read to learn stuff (not textbooks and such…) but they are for fun as well…I spend more time reading than doing hmwk lol</p>
<p>I didn’t really during junior year and not much sophomore year either. And I didn’t read books before sophomore year. Hmm. Now that I come to think about it I have no idea what I’m typing.</p>
<p>I read for fun with 5 AP classes/a job last year. It’s also a great way to meet girls :)</p>
<p>On a serious note though, I met two of my best friends because we had a mutual interest of reading a lot, and we ‘clicked’ because both of us had read this obscure book that nobody had never heard of and the book was phenomenal. When I told her I had read it, she at first didn’t even believe me. However, towards the end of senior year I started partying/drinking 3 or 4 nights a week and stopped reading haha</p>
<p>It’s definitely sad that once we hit high school, time to read automatically diminishes significantly. How do they expect us to improve writing and reading comprehension and get 2400’s…</p>
<p>However, I did read the Hunger Games over summer break whilst ignoring my AP bio summer assignment, AP English homework (which was also, ironically, reading, though it was Catch-22, not exactly “fun” for me), and APUSH essays. Reading for fun, for me, is reading w/o all that analysis…sort of like reading stuff that’s pure indulgence. Like, watching a movie. Not really improving vocabulary, though you could push it as that, and not really improving writing. </p>
<p>It’s rather funny how fast those kinds of books read for fun pass in contrast to those more boring ones in school (er…not boring…complex, yes…). The next minute I know, I’ve already read 100 more pages, and I just finished the book in 3 hours. Reading laborious, tedious, boring books (I’m not saying all of them assigned ones are boring, just ones that are laborious and tedious has time passing much slower. Well, you learn more though. There are occasionally, books that are challenging yet very fun. Very occasionally. </p>
<p>Reading for fun should be for everyone…you can learn so much having reading as a recreation.</p>
<p>I use to read a lot in middle school, and in 7th and 8th grade, I read like 25 books each year(I think I phrased it incorrectly but oh well). Now, I don’t, sadly. I read blogs and articles and somewhat educational websites(TVTropes? Blogs?), so I guess that counts for something, right? I like newspapers, too. And, uh, do Algebra problems count? They have letters. :P</p>
<p>I’m disappointed at how people don’t love to read as much as I do. Not only on CC but in reality. We have to keep a reading log throughout this year, and some people have only read a few books. That weren’t even challenging reads.</p>
<p>I read a lot before high school, but, as some people have said, I kind of stopped after high school started :x there just isn’t as much time.</p>
<p>Everyday. Currently rereading Marquez’s Love In The Time Of Cholera. What a classic.</p>
<p>I wish. Unfortunately too many classes + already get tons of reading from my AP English class.</p>
<p>YES, oh yes.
But I can only read when I can get to a library every week.
The sad part was when I’d skimmed through most of the books in the library and found very few books that I hadn’t read that were actually interesting.</p>
<p>Oh, and Hunger Games? PHENOMENAL. Waiting for the third book to hit the library.</p>
