Time is of the Essence

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

(I’m guessing #1 is an easy question for everyone?)

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

    I do not get to read as much as I would like to. I would like to read for several hours each day but I usually only get to read 30 minutes or less due to work and home obligations. I want to read more magazines, news reports, fiction, nonfiction, self help, a few romance books, and anything else that catches my attention.

    There will never be enough time for me to read all the books I want to read. Even if I never did anything else but read, there still wouldn’t be enough. Right now though, I’d settle for enough time to finish The Fairest Star by David Field. I’m almost to the end, and spending way more time reading than I should be because I just can’t put it down
