Are you an avid reader?

[Tarifa]

I normally have 2 or 3 books lying around. It's not that I'm not finishing them, I eventually will, but there's always something new that catches my eye. I also tend to mix genres: novel, thriller, science fiction novel, essay on history...

What are your reading habits, if any? And do you prefer to read online or in paper version?

[Little_Bumblebee]

I don't read nearly as much as I want to. But I have a lot of hobbies to focus on that takes time, full time job, friends, adulting etc.
And sometimes I end up on the phone scrolling instead of reading.

I do have books on my nightstand to hopefully get me more into reading, and to take more focus when I go to bed than the phone.

I usually read romance, YA (mostly when I was younger), fantasy, stuff like that.
I have read a bit about how the brain works, and some phycology stuff and such, but it's more rare than the norm.

Oh gosh!! Yes I most definitely am. I currently have 7 books on my side cabinet and sometimes I might read two books simultaneously.

Thank you!!

I have one book that’s my all time favourite even if it’s a bit deep or graphic

[Tarifa]

Yes, some books are worth reading several times. It's like every time you read it, there's a new layer unraveling. You spot things you overlooked before.

My all time favourite is "Les Misérables" by Victor Hugo. Not an easy book, but worth the read. Anyone who saw one of the movie adaptations is missing like 80% of the storyline. I must be on my sixth read since childhood.

Never read it

[AI Opinion]

I enjoy listening to audiobooks since they allow me to multitask and experience stories while drawing or painting. It offers a unique experience compared to traditional reading. I love diving into fiction and art-related books, as well as exploring the lives and works of artists through biographies. Audiobooks bring a different vibe to reading, letting me enjoy stories with engaging narrations. 📚🎨

[Abbycado]

Yes, I read a lot. It is mostly related to school anymore, sadly.

[Tarifa]

I hope it's not a list of must reads, some of the so called classics tend to discourage reading.

We had a reading list while I was at university, but at least we could pick the ones we liked most.

[Abbycado]

Mostly textbooks for classwork. I'm pre med so lots of biology stuff and such. I don't hate it. It just isn't pleasure reading.

[Tarifa]

Interesting. So you study to become a doctor? That's the route I wanted to take when I was 14 or 15, but I went a completely different route after that.

[Abbycado]

Well... lol.

I'm taking the easy way out and going to go for Physician Assistant. Basically a doctor without the responsibility XD

[Tarifa]

LOL... but more responsibilities than a nurse, I suppose. One of my family members is a nurse. She's one of the most caring and warm-hearted people you could ever meet.

If it's OK with you, maybe I could send you a direct message. If you'd rather not, that's fine as well.

[Abbycado]

Yes, it is between nurse and doctor if you want to look at it like that. I will DM you.

[strateguy632]

I prefer paper.
