(It’s been quite a while since I’ve done polls! I’m eager to get back into the habit of bothering you guys for your opinions!)

I think the ability to sit immersed in text while staying attentive and engaged is a muscle like any other--if you don’t use it, you start to lose it! So be honest: how’s your reading endurance these days compared to 2, 3, 4, 5+ years ago?

It's definitely declined. Next to work there just seems to be so little time for reading. I'm thinking back to over ten years ago and wonder how on earth I not only managed to work a job and do the usual chores but also play video games and read several books a year.

does reading manga count cuz i could go through a whole series in a day? hah

It fluctuates. I have to read a lot at work so kind of kills the desire to read leisurely unfortunately. However, if I find something I am really interested in, I can read for days/hours.

Definitely depends. If I find a book that I can REALLY get into, I'll devour it in like a day or two. But I definitely have more varied hobbies than I did when I was younger, so just sitting down and reading doesn't happen quite as often. I do read a lot in the games I play, though. Haha.

If the book is good I usually go through it in a day. It happened with all Samurai of Hyuga releases and a few others that I really liked. If the text or book I'm reading is meh or bad, I get really quickly bored and then tired.
