Default Reading

Hey everyone,

Along with all the time that you guys spend on your consoles playing games, do you ever actually read? I usually read about two hours a day just to balance out some of the time that I spend playing games. You don't learn very much just playing games, most of you (hopefully) realize that gaming isn't everything... You must educate yourself sometime or another! Anyway, back to the point... How often and how much do you read?

Kind Regards,
~~Clookid~~

The majority of what I read is online. I'll read a tutorial on whatever language I'd be learning (at the moment its BASIC) and then off to the tech sites like Engadget, Mac World etc.

If you mean "real" reading, the only book I've ever properly read is The Google Story. It really is inspiring, definitely worth the buy if you haven't got it already.

I read A LOT online. The first thing I do when I come online is check CNN.com for news usually. From there, I venture over to FARK and read a good handful of the articles over there. This is what I primarily do online, read things.

Only a small fraction of my time online is used playing games.

I read a lot online as well but I do read actual books as well. I get through about 3 or 4 a week, mainly because I get so addicted to the books and can't put 'em down!

I really hate reading books. Unless I'm reading a sports book, I can't concentrate. Sports book are the only ones that get my attention.

I read about 1-2 hours when I'm going to sleep and some mags too in the daytime when it comes available, complete in 1 day.

You can read everywhere and any time.Take it with you!You don't have to sit in your room to read. Bring a book when you are out walking, bike riding, on a long car trip, whenever. Read a little, walk a little, then read a little more.
