I always have a few books going. Currently I have maybe 3, one of which is a novel. Though, during the semester I often don't get to read nearly as much as I'd like. For example, I started the novel I'm currently reading in January! 😱
I thought this would be a problem during interviews, but I don't think I was asked this question (maybe once). I used to read all the time, but I stopped after I started playing organized basketball.
I read every day before I go to sleep, but I'm not in school anymore 😉.
Even during school, I usually read a non-school book before bed. I imagine I will continue to do so during school. It helps me to unwind from the day and clear my mind.
Another thing I liked to do to stay current with books without having the time to read, was audiobooks. I really like them when working out or running as it kinda focuses my mind elsewhere. I ran a marathon while listening to Tom Clancy's "Patriot Games". And no I didn't finish the book before I finished the marathon. 5 hours 41 min, crappy time, but I only trained for like 2 months and half the marathon was in the sandy desert. No shade and it definitely started to get hot.
