For me, I'm kind of behind on my readings for my classes

and I sort of tried to borrow some books, but I ended up reading the books late and not finishing them.

Side note: my gosh, I'm definitely very bored right now to start this topic lol, but I just wanted to know if any of you read for pleasure.

It's hard trying to read other books besides textbooks. But I did find time to read Can You Keep a Secret? right before winter break. And I read the news during my breaks. That's all though =\

Heck no. I barely have time to read my textbooks. I blame the hundreds of thumbnails for my art class. ):

Yes of course! If you make time for it. I just finished with Undomestic Goddess. Love it. It's humourous.

when I'm on the train to and from anywhere I read my leisure books since I can't study anywhere but a completely quiet room.

I love reading. I was reading wuxia novels during exams.

I think I read more while in university, because once out in the working world, my reading time diminished greatly.

If not for the internet, I would have tons of time on my hands. I would probably have a 4.0 gpa I would have time to read my textbooks and outside reading. In addition I would have gobs more money without all the online spending I do.

So, currently no. But with the correct conditions absolutely.

I stopped reading textbooks a long time ago. I only read short essays, articles, trivial stuff online..

I read my textbooks...the ones I have to anyways.

And NO! I don't have time for other books! 1st semester I had more time and read Wicked by Gregory Maguire, but recently I have had no time. It's so depressing...
