How Often Do You Read by Divepen1(m): 6:37pm On Dec 28, 2015
As for me I read daily. I make sure I touch spiritual, psychological , a novel and how to be better( better in relationships, writing, singing etc)


How often do you read..
answer and tag at least three people.


For some weeks now, I've been training some guys on how to write fiction and I think we should not limit it to those few.

So, I've written a comprehensive textbook to that effect. Else, it will be more of rambling. Despite the textbook, I have made plans on how every of my student will surely publish a book before graduating from the class.
All you'll need is to get the books
1. Lite Fiction Help( tools, rules and exercises to help you finish that novel) on Okadabooks at https://www.okadabooks.com/book/about/10464 for 200naira( there are different option for payment).

and
2. Lite Character Chart ( the best tool for building that unique character) at Okadabooks : https://www.okadabooks.com/book/about/10465 for 100 naira.

But if you don't have the means to get it on Okadabooks, I can send you the PDFs at the amount.
All you'll need to do is to send me a PM in my box or email.
So, your source of payment( if you are not on Okadabooks) will be to
either pay
1. 300 naira to my Gtb account or
2. 400 naira etisalat recharge card.

However, if you don't want to join the group but need the materials. You can still get the materials in the same ways I've stated up there.
I'm also using this medium to tell you about my book ' The Unknown Shadow', you can now get it at
https://www.okadabooks.com/book/about/10463

Class Starts: January 15,2016. But there's room for late Application.
The students there are already enjoying the benefits.
Hurry while there's still time.

As for me, it's an everyday routine which I follow strictly. Ranging from school stuff to novels, peotry (yes I love poetical works), inspirationals ( not religion based ones though), Nigerian news headlines (although not that often cause I bother myself less about politics, especially Nigerian politics) and. . . In fact, I'm a good reader. I read almost anything.

A day doesn't end without me reading at least a few pages from a book - ever. That's because there hasn't been a point in my life for the past few years when I don't have a book I'm reading. Hard or soft, there's ever one.

I read everyday and read anything that my eyes come across. The reason... I will discuss it another day.

But I read for about 6hrs everyday, mostly at night (not at a go ooooooo cheesy)

I like to read on all because I like to see myself as someone that majors or with ideas in all fields of interest be it:

Romance;

Politics (I could get hooked to comparative public administration and interesting relations);

Religion (even though I ain't that religious I basically do comparative religion too);

Adventures;

Comic;

Business;

Arts and engineering / mechanics;

Etc.

I read always in the literature section. The stories there have always been a source of inspiration to me. I learned my art from the section, I don't read hard copy books but I still look forward to.

How often do I read huh.

More than just often. Every morning, as nature rouses me from slumber, I partake of soul food from the scriptures. As okele can't be eaten without stew/soup, likewise I cannot stay without reading from it even if it's a proverb.

Graphic novels, E-books, Mp3, Youtube, good ol'paperback...

Well if you count Nairaland, sports news, other news, flipping through Awake magazines or whatsoever is of interest when there's no nepa and reading in public transport to maximize the 'sitting time' then I guess I pretty much read every day.

Am always reading...but I didn't get to read the things I like or usually read leisurely this year. It was more academic oriented than my almost natural literary inclination.
2016...am planning to get all the books av not read on the presidential reading list written by Reuben Abati. So help me God!

I could recommend books if you want. Do you read books on wattpad? Check out the following: "My brother's bestfriend", "The girl he never noticed", "My sexy new jerk of a gym teacher"(yet to be completed but it's a lovely book),.... Read those few ones and you will ring me for more.
Re: How Often Do You Read by Nobody: 11:55pm On Dec 29, 2015
I'd like to venture down here undecided



I read every night. I tend to read two or three books on the go at once just to switch up my weeknights.


Currently (on rotation reading): psychology, self help, Autobiography, and my lil guilty pleasure ( Bridget Jones dairy embarassed)

Since the emergence of the internet, I have hardly ever read a fictional book.

The internet has given me the opportunity to indulge and develop my God-given talent of esoteric knowledge.

I can read and research far and wide, synthetise information I am getting and then formulate potent and original thinking/opinions.
Re: How Often Do You Read by Nobody: 2:06pm On Dec 30, 2015
Ahhh........... I try to read at least twice a day. I enjoy a lot of Science fiction and Fantasy. I also enjoy reading philosophy and of course, my heart throb: Chemistry.

I have no option; I read EVERYDAY. I've made some brilliant decisions that have impacted positively since I upped my reading months back. We are in a time when what we know a couple of months/years ago won't be enough to scale us through the next few months or years.

With the advent of ebooks, and Scribd being downloaded to my phone, I can't but read every day. I'll be starting my personal and family journal 2016. My kids and grand kids should have some idea who and what their father and grandfather was. They need to know my beliefs and opinions on very crucial areas of my life.

My dear, encourage yourself to keep reading- it doesn't matter how many pages you can skim a day.

Happy New Year in advance.
