Time is of the essence

1. Do you get to read as much as you WANT to read?
Not only no, but h-e-double hockey sticks no. I’d love to stay home and read all day long. Or stay up all night and read. But I have to go to work so I can buy all the books that then sit around my house feeling neglected and unloved. It’s a vicious circle, I tell ya.
2. If you had (magically) more time to read–what would you read? Something educational? Classic? Comfort Reading? Escapism? Magazines?
I would read all of the above-mentioned neglected books. I can hear them calling my name when I’m asleep. Those are mostly fiction books published within the past 5 years, with some travel memoirs thrown in to make me dream about places I want to go. I always think I’d like to read Newsweek on a regular basis, but let’s be real. Given more time, I’d just pick up a book instead.

I don't think any true reader has enough reading time.
I think your number one is exactly what I would say! I so envy people that say that they can stay up all night and read with no or few repercussions. I, for one, have to get up and go to work at 5:30 in the morning so I can keep feeding the habit that I don't have near enough time for. Oh, the irony! ;-)
There's never enough time, but at least it helps us appreciate the books we do get a chance to read, right? :)
I would be satisfied if I had a guaranteed hour of uninterrupted time. That's it. One hour! You'd think it would be doable.
right now, i am pretty free in life. i think i am the only one who said "yes.. i have enough time to read" in response to this week's question.. I can read day in and day out.. but i am quite satisfied with the time i am getting now..:)
ohh yeah... i have to work to get these books and then let them wait there ) till i have the time for them :)
hehehe! same ol' story :)
I hear my books calling me from the TBR piles too, and I know they're always conspracy against me LOL
