| Topic | How many books do you read a year (excluding college texts)? |
| ParanoidObsessive 08/06/18 2:17:07 PM #60: | Zeus posted... tbh, college killed most of my recreational reading. I went from 20-30 books recreational books a year to maybe 1-4. Me, too. Ironically, for someone who spent their entire life absolutely loving to read, going to college and being forced to read material for various classes basically left me not wanting to read anything at all. Which seems like a fairly large incitement of the educational system in the US. I sort of recovered after graduating, though. It took a while, but the love of reading slowly crept back into me, until I was probably reading about as much as I did before. Free time is never a surplus as an adult (especially in the modern, endless media-intensive world we live in now), but it's a bit easier to make at least some time to read. Even if just on the toilet or on mass transit/in waiting rooms. I had the exact same sort of arc with pizza. I ate so much pizza while in college (because there was a pizzeria like 3 minutes' walk from my apartment) I wound up hating it for years afterward. Though I eventually started eating it again, and now I've more or less totally refound my old love for it again. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
