But I don't read or listen for pleasure. I have too much else to do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I read a lot, all the time, but often I read books for research, or because they're interesting to me in some way, even if they aren't exactly 'pleasurable.'
Perhaps the greatest reading pleasure has an element of self-annihilation. To be so engrossed that you barely know you exist.
What I want is to try and get across the idea that reading for pleasure is so beneficial. And turn children on who have maybe been switched off reading or never found a love of it in the first place.
Normally when I read, I don't like music playing.
I try to read for pleasure whenever I can - it's a great way just to shut it off for a while so your brain doesn't get fried.
I tend to read things that are a little more on the nourishing side. But if I don't enjoy something, I'll put it down.
Normally, I just sit in my quiet little room and do the small things that bring me pleasures. I read my books, I answer email, I write a little bit.
I read and enjoy just about anything I can get my hands on.
I read for interest and enjoyment, and when I cease to enjoy it I stop.
I haven't read for pleasure in 35 years. I mean, I get a lot of pleasure from what I read... For me, it's gotten so that it doesn't seem as though I've read a book unless I've written about it. It really seems the completion of the reading process.
