Last year, I went for my college reunion. We went to a beautiful place and spent three nights there. Well, I was happy to meet my close gang. We all love reading and that's one common interest that binds us. Though we all still love reading, a lot has changed over the decades. Some got into e books, kindle, audio books etc while others like me still go for traditional paper books. Some who read few books a year are reading more while the voracious readers like me are just reading a few in a year. Even the taste and choices have changed.
How about you? Has your reading habits , speed, ways etc changed?

I seem to go in spurts these days. I used to read probably a lot more. I go through small spurts where I just devour books, and other times I barely read at all.

I mostly still read physical, though I do some e-books (and probably should do more of those since books take so much space). Mostly reading the same stuff. Though less of New Age stuff I guess.

Over the years, my reading habit has drastically changed. From reading paperbacks and hard covers, I have not moved to ebook readers. From reading 1-2 books every week, I have now moved to reading 1 book every month. I wish I could find more time to read.

Well, I'm reading a lot more adult now than I did when I was younger. When I was a kid, I could only read what was available to me at the library which would have been children's stuff and then teen stuff when I got to jr high and high school.

My reading habits have changed a lot over the years. I used to read whatever I could find, mostly for fun or escape. Now I read more intentionally, choosing books that teach me something or help me grow. I read slower, take notes, and enjoy reflecting on ideas instead of rushing through pages.

I normally read for fun or escape. It helps me to relax after a long day at work, plus, I find it entertaining to read.

There was a time i could read a book all through the day, i had hundreds of ebooks on my device, but these days i find it hard to even read a book less than 50 pages.

The first way that my reading has changed over the years is that I have completely switched to reading ebooks. That means I have access to more books than before. The second way that my reading has greatly changed is that I don't just read for fun nowadays, I do more of study when I read now. No more story books but courses.
