rach.at.the.disco Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Since I graduated last year I have been able to 100% read for pleasure. For about 5 years before that I always had lists of books that were to be read for college and uni so reading for pleasure always came second. For me reading is entertainment and if I learn something in the process then that's a bonus. If I wanted to read something to expand my knowledge of an area I'm interested in then I would but for now I'm happy to take a break from text books and just read for fun .

sirinrob Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 not going to to put a split on this . Why? simply because, what I read as 'research', leads to ideas for writing, which leads to enjoyment for me ( and hopefully for others). Also much of the literature I read for pleasure, actually is also research, so one leads to the other , to the other... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rune Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I've mostly read for pleasure. However a couple of years ago, I did do some reviews for a website. Now that started to spoil my pleasure. Some of the books I was asked to review were not very good at all. I don't do reviews now, I don't have time with card making for charity and managing a card group So it's back to reading for pleasure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Univerze Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Except the books I have to read for uni (and those are few these days), I always read for pleasure. Even educating myself is pleasure, so everything I read is for pleasure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
