I made a topic about reading, and half the responses said "Yes, because of school."

So, who reads for recreation?

I love to read. I don't really have much time during the school year but I get a lot done during the summer.

Yes, I read quite often for pleasure. The ones I read for school are dusty and monotonous.

No. Public school ruined reading for me with all the forced reading you have in english/reading classes of books I had absolutely no interest in. I red like crazy as a youth (before 10-12, really), but once middle school and into high school came, all those crap books killed it for me. Now, I only read online.

I love to read, especially last year. This year I didn't really read though, due to being busy. Last book I read for recreation was "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" by Nietzsche.

With the garbage that schools make you read, I understand why most people lose interest in reading.

In high school, I read a lot of books for fun, averaging about one hundred pages a week in the books I liked. Now that I'm in college,I read a whole lot more than that, sometimes three or four hundred a week, but it's all for classes. When I get a chance, I still like to read books I like, but most times my Xbox is there for me..

Yes I read quite a bit, but due the distractions of of modern technology probably not as much as I feel I should.

Not me. Whenever I try, there are a million things I would rather be doing. I'm not gonna force myself to try and enjoy reading, because society wants to make me feel stupid if I do otherwise.

It's boring. I don't enjoy it.

People complain too much. What is the purpose of saying things like that?
