How much time do you spend reading at one time?

The majority of your reading that is.

It depends, but I generally read before bed. It's all about how long I can keep my eyes open.

So true.

I torture myself every day when I read... I have a 15 minute subway ride and that's when I read. Then I read again for 15 minutes on the way home... It's horrible, especially when the book is really good, some times I wish I could keep riding the subway, at least until I finish a chapter!

I look forward to my lazy weekends when I can sit down and REALLY read!

I just depends on the day.

I typically need over 30 minutes at a time, but usually get distracted too much that I'll read maybe an hour and then do something else, then go back and read a half hour, etc.

I usually get about 45mins to an hour in the morning on the train, depending on how tired I am. Evenings are usually closer to 20-30mins because I nap for 20-30mins every night.

I prefer to read 2+ hours but I usually only get an hour or two a day.

I get about 30 minutes on the bus in the morning, sometimes afternoons if I don't have a ride, and I read on my lunch break for 30-45 minutes. I don't read at home a lot unless DH is gone.

It depends on how into the book I am. I can sit and read for HOURS.

Kate&Mark · September 2013

It depends on the book/how busy I am that day. I can usually squeeze in 45 minutes at lunch and then I'll get anywhere from 15 minutes to a whole bunch of hours in the evening.

Like everyone else, it depends on the day. Most weekdays it's 30-minutes to an hour before bed while DH watched the late news. On Mondays, I have an extra hour and half before an evening class. And one weekend a month, I read in the car during our 4-hour round trip drive to see family.

I mainly read before going to sleep. So it depends on how tired I am that night. I can usually get in at least a half hour if not a full hour or more.

I used to read for longer, but now I read in probably 15-20 minute chunks throughout the day.

denmanam · September 2013

Like others, it depends on the day. It's usually between 15 and 30 minutes at a time, though.

This. Before kids, i would spend hours- full days even- reading nonstop. When I had just Jack, I would read during his 3 hour epic naps in the afternoon (on summer break, winter break and weekends when I wasn't at work). Now that I have the newborn, I don't get much more than 15-20 min at a time to read many times throughout the day. It's a priority for me though, so I make sure I get time even if it just in the car driving somewhere (when husband is driving of course lol).

I usually get interrupted several times when the kids are awake so I get between 5-30 minute chunks but once they are in bed it's usually a good hour of reading before I crash too.

Yep, this too. If I'm super in to a book and have the opportunity, I'll read all day.
