All the ETC:

1. Do you get to read as much as you WANT to read?

If I had the attention span, the time, and the stamina, I would love to read all day long. I would get up to shower and eat, maybe to use the restroom, but I would definitely read all day long. Unfortunately for me, I don’t have the energy for that. I would get too sleepy and end up sleeping most of the time. Or I’d feel bad for being lazy and get up to do something else. And, man, I wouldn’t have enough money to fund such a lavish lifestyle of all day and night book reading!

I definitely get to read a lot more now that I am not in college. In college, all I had time to do was read for class, study, do work and sleep. Now I have some free time, which allows me to chill out and finally read for pleasure.

2. If you had (magically) more time to read–what would you read? Something educational? Classic? Comfort Reading? Escapism? Magazines?

I have read enough education to last me a lifetime! I would read a mixture. As a former history major and certified social studies teacher, a good nonfiction book is pleasure to me. I really enjoy reading things based on history, so more than half the books on my pending list are educational in nature. Classics, too. I would just start at the top of my pending pile and read. There would be books on Roman Emperors, fiction books about vampires and D/s relationships, books about Vietnam and economic development in China. It would be a wide variety of books.

    I love the mix of books that you would choose to read. I love a good non-fiction history book myself. I’m reading one, but because of the subject matter it is a little repetitive. I have to read it along with something else.

    A mixture of genres is the best so you never worry about getting bored. :mrgreen:

    There are too many good books out there to limit ourselves to one genre!

    @Cathy- I am trying out all new genres now. I need to expand my book list, big though it already is.

    @Nicole- That is true about a lot of nonfiction history. But when you find a good one, you really enjoy it.
