1. Do you get to read as much as you WANT to read? (I’m guessing #1 is an easy question for everyone?)No, not at all. I wish I could quit my job and just stay at home and read all day long. Or become a book editor and get paid to read. Or even have more alone time to read. But with two small children it is hard enough to go to the bathroom on your own let alone have time to read. Thus why there are times where I grab a book and run to the bathroom lock the door and sit there reading for 30 mins. or so. Yes, I know it's evil of me, but what can I say.
2. If you had (magically) more time to read–what would you read? Something educational? Classic? Comfort Reading? Escapism? Magazines?
I read a little bit of everything. One moment I'm reading a romance, the next I'm reading a thriller, etc. I wouldn't be too picky - just anything that catches my fancy would suffice.

I think being a book editor or proofreader would be a great job but I'm so wary of it destroying my love for reading in my own spare time.
ReplyDeleteI usually read two hours over breakfast every morning, taking my time and sitting at the sunniest spot at my neighborhood coffee shop. (It's San Francisco...everyone has their coffee at the cafes). Then I'll slip in some reading time when no students come for office hour. I'll read a bit more at home in the evening since I don't watch much TV.
ReplyDeleteWith small children, it IS quite difficult to find time to read.
