Do you still read books?


Books are one of the most important inventions of humanity. A book can contain the experiences, knowledge, wisdom of a whole life – and you can learn all this in some hours or days. If you choose your book accordingly, if you know how to use this immense quantity of knowledge, you can advance much faster in your life. Or in your profession, hobby.

Of course, articles, blog posts are also useful, educative, instructive, but often short and superficial, sometimes containing errors or mistakes. If you want to dig deeper into an important theme, you should read dozens or hundreds of blog posts – or simply read the right book.

“Poor people have big TV's. Rich people have big libraries.” (Jim Rohn in Goodreads.com) (I think it is not important anymore if you read e-books or paper ones.)

Not just books, but book series.
Sometimes I read more than 5 books in a year, sometimes I read only one or two books in a year.
It is mostly depending on the book availablity of my favorite genre.
Fantasy. Greek mythology. Griffins, dragons, phoenixes and other animals.
If I like the book, I can finish reading a fantasy book with a little bit more than 500 pages in a few days, and miss the characters and the whole world from the book even after more than a year. Some of these books are a part of a book series.
For example I have two of these books, which are part of a trilogy, and the third part will probably release in 2020.
I can read shorter books (around 2-300 pages) that I like in two or three days.
For example a part of a book series. The miss the characters and the whole world from the book even after more than a year is also true in this case.

I also hate unfinished series. I watched approximatelly 30 seasons of Star Trek in 2-3 years to practice English...

I read books every day.

Love it

Counting only those that I read in full. I do peruse books for reference fairly often, though not as frequently as electronic sources.

I used to read nearly hundred books a year. My house is full of my collections.
But now a days, after becoming a mother I don't get much time to read. I bought several books which I did not touch yet. I can't hold my connection longer this days. And deep inside feels guilty as book was my favorite companion. I left my friend!!
Recently I stopped buying books for me rather I bought many kids books for my little one. This is my life now reading him stories!

I like audiobooks because you can listen to them while driving in a car so it's more efficiënt.

Most people don't read books because they don't want to make time for it.

Definitely! Books are great and i prefer them over any kind of e-reader i've tried so far.
And the nice thing about books is that they have a certain smell.

At least I try to.

Reading 6 books a year qualifies as reading often? In that case I'm reading books very often.

Yes, in these modern electric times, I thin k so.
