Do you ever feel like you don't have enough time to read?

Me to. I feel like I don't havee enough time to read because now I actually HAVE to listen to what my teachers are saying because others I'll get behind. There's just not enough hours in the day.
It happens to me all the time. I'm so busy with school that I don't have as much time as I'd like to read. A book that will normally take me a day or two to finish will take me a week or longer. It's so annoying. There are not enough hours in the day to get everything done and still have time to relax and read

And the worst is that when I read I often think of what I should do instead and how much work do I have and it tends to spoil the reading experience.

I end not enjoying reading because I get anxious about what school work I have to get done. Right now, school has eased up a little bit and I started reading my first book in about a month.
School right now is death to my reading! I'm having hard time finding a reasonable hour to read (instead of cramming in a book before "bedtime" at 2 am).
That's why I love the holidays in school. Especially the long ones, then I can sit down a read a book in a day but now homework gets in the way. it's not fair!!
I have nothing going on in my life. But I run my website and wwrite other books and that is very time consuming. I can get through a book in 5 hours, but when to find 5 hour where my ADD doesnt kick in is the problem.
I know exactly how that feels. Between work and school I barely have time for much else. Now that I'm so busy all the time I try to pack my lunch for work and take a book, that way I can just sit in the break room and read for a bit.

I'll stay up late then try to read just a chapter or two before bed only to stay up a few extra hours reading most of the book. The only problem with that is waking up the next morning!
All the time. :-)And there's even less time to write.
Yes! Between school and school, there's just not enough time to catch a break! I have a really bad habit of trying to fit in trying to read books at 2 in the morning. Which I know I'll have to pay for later. But...I honestly think it's worth it at times!

I so agree!
I really feel as though there are just too many good books that i want to read and my time just falls away :( Still, at least there are books :) A world without books would really really suck.
OMG! All the time! I have a lot of homework to prepare for college or whatever and it's killing me to find time to read. And then when I am reading I lose myself. When I "come up for air" it'll be like 11pm.
All the time! I work everyday and have a son to take care of but I always make time for me to read, but time just goes by soooo fast when you read, there is not that many hours in a day I swear #UGh
OMG! Yes, that's exactly how I feel! I used to be able to finish up a book in a day or two, but now it took forever.. And there are so many good books lining up for me to read.. :(
All the time, I can never finish a book fast anymore!
Sometimes I really want to read and finish a book, but I get busy with other things and I'm not able to. I'm not that busy very often though, usually when I don't read I'm on GR which takes away my reading time....
I do, especially during the school year:P
lol all the damn time especially now that i found this place and have so many more books to read
Lol I've just started uni, and I'm sick of it already. During the summer holidays, I could read through 11 books in a week, but now it's taking me DAYS just to finish one book.Christmas can't come fast enough :D

I got 8 books to read from the library!!!
All the time.... but that's BS, because I only work 3-4 days a week when I'm lucky... so I actually have plenty of time.I usually want to read at the stupidest moments (1 hour before going to work for example..)
Alissa wrote: "Right now, school has eased up a little bit and I started reading my first book in about a month."In about a month? Ouch! I hasn't read a book for week and I'm devastated. How do you cope with it?
I get up early cause others in my house are getting ready for work and school. Usually I read an hour or so until I'm ready to eat breakfast.

a lot good luck
i never have enough time, even though i spend all of my free time reading
I only get to read a good bit if I go to bed early, have a nice long bath or Sunday, other than that I'm doing housework or working, I can't remember the last time i sat down and read all day.
Yes I do!!!!!!!!! Ugh... I hate that. Ereading as helped, but it's still not enough time in the day.
That is so understated! Between work, family, my honey, friends and a some-what social life I feel like I'm squeezing pages to read anywhere I can! if it was up to me, id look myself in my house alone turn off phones, tv,internet and read all day long! :)
ever since i started high school i've been buried with homework and hardly have any reading time, between studying and all this other stuff. it can get annoying but i read as much as possible
I'm in my first year at university and at the beginning of the semester, I felt like everything I loved was going to have to be put aside because of the insane amount of work I had to do. But it got better as I sorted out all my priorities and found my routine, and even though I still get that "I should be studying" feeling when I sit down and read, I've learned that it's a balancing act. Reading and writing are things I love so I have to make time for them, especially when I'm feeling completely burned out. Like right now - first set of finals coming up and Maggie Stiefvater's The Scorpio Races is getting me through!
What gets me through is that I'll soon about about three weeks to read since it'll be Winter break!!! YEAH!
Wow, I feel like such an old man here, but I find I don't have enough time to read because I have three kids under the age of 5. Between work, writing, and the chaos of babies everywhere, I'm lucky to squeeze a chapter or two in a day.
I read during the day...somewhere or the other. I can't go to bed without reading at least a chapter.
I flip open my Nintendo DS and use it as a light to read in bed, so I don't disturb my 2-year-old sleeping in crib nearby. Ridiculous.
Ditto. If they could just add two more hours to the day...I try to squeeze in some reading during my lunch hour at work (if my team doesn't implode in the meantime), or a bit before bedtime. But unfortunately, I'm typically too exhausted to concentrate, or my eyes feel like they're going to bleed out of my skull for me to be able to see the words on the page.
Well, here's hoping your eyes don't end up bleeding out of your skull.

Well I have no job, no college, no little woman, so I have all the time in the world, but still I look at some books and think "nope no time to read it" aha I think the reason for that is because I am too stressed to sit and relax.
right now, i have no job. so i have time to read. so i keep reading till sunrise :)
Ah, the days of reading until sunrise. I used to do that all the time. On Friday nights as a kid, because I had no school the next day, I would take a huge pile of books to bed because my parents weren't exactly 'enforcing' the lights-off rule that night. So awesome.

and my addiction to buying 5 books minimum every time I visit a bookstore is not helping u_u
I seriously should start a Compulsive Book Buyers Anonymous club...
LOL. I try to buy 2 books if they're hard covers because they're so expensive but my dad always ends up buying me like 5-10. =D
Yeah. I usually read at night but I've been going to bed so late I'm falling asleep after a couple pages. :(
Mod
I wish my parents did that, that way my wallet wouldn't always be empty x)
It happens to me a lot especially (like everyone else) because of school + extra-curricular activities taking up too much of my time. That's why I use my school break or the holidays to read as much books as I can.During my busy days where I simply couldn't fit reading in my day schedule, I try to fit it before I go to bed. It helps. ;)
Does this ever happen to anyone else? Or am I the only one?
