how many hours a day do you read on average?

[Anonymous No.10190412]

>>10190092
Around an hour. That is, when I actually read. There are many days I can't find the time to or procrastinate on it.

[Anonymous No.10190422]

>>10190092
4-8 depending on the day

[Anonymous No.10190516]

average? .5

[Anonymous No.10190533]

>>10190092
Depends on the book, where I am in it, how tired I am etc.

One week I might read 30 minutes for two days and another I might read 2-3 hours every day

[Anonymous No.10190537]

I spent 6 hours reading yesterday morning.

[Anonymous No.10190555]

>>10190092
On weekdays 30 minutes if I don't have too much to study, weekends 1-2 hours.

[Anonymous No.10192623]

>>10190092
>hours

[Anonymous No.10193963]

Around 40 minutes or so

Generally it's all or nothing, several hours here, no reading there; it all depends on my other engagements

[Anonymous No.10194920]

>>10190092
Depends what I'm reading and what my academic schedule is like. I read like 2 hours of nonfiction and about 90min of fiction yesterday and I was honestly surprised at myself for how much I actually read

[Anonymous No.10194930]

0, but I spend around 6 writing

I'm one of the few people in history who've written more books than they've read

[Anonymous No.10194934]

>>10190092
Two 3 hour sittings per week.

[Anonymous No.10194939]

somewhere from half an hour to an hour usually. I rarely am able to sit down for hours straight to read. I don't find books I like that much enough.

[Anonymous No.10194941]

About 3+ hours a day, everyday, but it's easier for me because I can read at work and I have a three day weekend.

[Anonymous No.10194947]

>>10194930
they are probably all terrible.

>>10190092
maybe an hour average including a weeks worth of days.

[Anonymous No.10197124]

>>10190092
2-3 but that's only like 40 pages

[Anonymous No.10197161]

>>10194941
who is this guy?

[saucy No.10197277]

how many hours do you read vs. hours spent talking about reading on /lit/?

[Anonymous No.10199612]

Around 12 while I'm at work, but all fiction (passes the time faster for me)
Open to pretty much any recommendations, I just enjoy stories. Finished altered carbon series this week, lately been on a detective/noir vibe. Help a brother out?

[Anonymous No.10199614]

>>10190092
I can't average it because I don't read literature everyday. I plow through most books within a week and then take a break.

If we're counting news and this website, it's probably 5-6 hours a day at least.

[Anonymous No.10199628]

>>10190092
That's the wrong question. The right one would be how much pages do you read per hour.

[Anonymous No.10199651]

>>10199628
Make a new thread

[Anonymous No.10199672]

0.5-2. Depends on how much I have on that day and how tired I am when I return from said day.

[Anonymous No.10199774]

Maybe 1 hour? Not enough.

I schedule 2 hours a day to read because it's part of my job

[Anonymous No.10200300]

Weekdays: .25-.5 sometimes 1.
Weekends 1-3, depending if I work Saturdays or not.

Pic unrelated.

[Anonymous No.10200773]

2-3 hours. Somedays more if I really get caught up in a good book. Also depends how much Im writing that day.

is that that market in philadelphia that has those broccoli rabe and pork or whatever

[Anonymous No.10200923]

>>10199400
probably 1 hour reading books per day and 4 hours looking at 4chan

[Anonymous No.10201027]

Less than an hour, aside from screen related stuff. Too many distractions and obligations.

[Anonymous No.10201058]

An hour during my breaks at work. Sometimes an extra half an hour before bed. Rarely I'll finish my current book up in a night if it's excellent and I'm close to the end.

Currently trying to finish American Psycho just to move on from it, but it has become a real slog.

This describes how I feel about For Whom the Bell Tolls. Each Hemmmmmingway book gets worse as you go down the list.

[Anonymous No.10201199]

Depends on the day, but most weekdays are like .5-1 hour reading on lunch break, maybe another when I get home. On weekends it depends on how ambitious I am, mainly atleast 1 to 3 hours.

[Anonymous No.10201228]

>>10190092
>hours
The correct question is how many pages. I know faggots who take 3 hours to read 10 pages.

[Anonymous No.10201287]

Around one, but not constantly.
15-20 minute bursts.

[Anonymous No.10201492]

>on average
Not at all.
