I also read the newspaper cover to cover every day. I scope out several news sites as well. I am IN LOVE with Rolling Stone magazine. The end of every issue breaks my heart. I hate to throw them away. I used to keep them, but they started to stick out so much in the room I kept them in. You'd notice my RS piles more than the furniture.

Probably 2 on average. I could read more but I don't have much money and I don't like going to bookshops because it overwhelms me so limit myself to reading just on the train.

Posting this because I'm hoping I'm not the only one who's this way.
I wish I had more time to devote to reading for leisure instead of forced. It's funny because I'm a public relations major, and people are always telling me to read whatever I can get my hands on, but at the same time, my classes are so demanding that trying to read anything else feels like I'm wasting precious school time.

Same! I thought I'd be able to pull it off, but a lot of the books I happened to pick up were 800-1000 page books.

during uni i usually read about one book per week but this semester i'm doing three english papers, all to do with novels so i'll probably be trying to read about three per week. i'm trying to get a head start but it's not going well, too many distractions at the moment!

I read about a book a month, sometimes more sometimes less. I need to start reading more, I think I'm going to call the library and get them to order me some books from another branch (because my local library is as big as my living room and that's not saying much)
