reading for pleasure and to ease curiosity ....so i guess i am just casual

I read about 1 to 2 a month and consider that relatively casual reading.

Those who read 1 book a week should really be proud of yourselves. That's 52 books a year. I'm struggling with my goal of 24.

I'm an on and off reader. Studies usually take up my time. But when I read I'm quite hardcore that I forget the world, yes including social media. When I'm on my reading season, I can read 3 books a week

I also carry my Kindle everywhere I go ever since I've gotten it

I am an art book fanatic. I religiously finish and practice anything I have read from imagine fx every month. If my bookshelf ever caught on fire I am gonna either save or die with them. All my art book are handle with page clippers and clean white glove.
Other then that I have another room for normal books. Mostly history and mysteries book.

My wife always tells me that I waste money when buying books. If I am really into the book, I can finish it in a matter of hours depending on the number of pages.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy though (I had a version that was combined into one book), took me three nights of reading before I finished it.

It's not wasting money though, I re-read religiously. I must have read each book in the Safehold Series by David Weber(currently my favourite series) at least 3 times by now, I guess I really enjoy his writing style as I've read most of his series (Honor Harrington, Dahak, War God etc) and I've enjoyed all of them but I only maintain physical copies of the Safehold series on my shelf.

I still classify myself as a casual reader as I don't always read, there are whole weeks where I don't have the time to pick up a book or ebook.

Everyday between 50-200 pgs. If cannot get new and usable info to absorb info I'll go nuts.

Anything.

when im not writing, i would read alot of malay novels. i pretty much addicted at buying novels, everytime i go out, if i enter a bookstore, i usually never left empty handed. always buy at least 1 novel. too much books to the point i dont have much space to keep them..

Nice to see a fellow David Weber fan. I too enjoyed most of his works.
