I typically have 4 to 6 books going at a time. There's nothing better than quiet time with a good book, makes you reflect and contemplate.

Everyday. I make sure I take at least 15 minutes before going to bed to read. Most days though I’ll read in periods throughout the day.

I try to get 10-15 a year, its tough with everything else that goes on in life, but usually I'll find time in the evening and on the weekends.

I need to get back at it. My bitch wife read 143 books this year. All of them trash. I read long form journalism, industry material, and the OT.

Every day.

Three times a day, seven days a week. In the mornings, 1 chapter of The Bible and 10 pages of a non-fiction self improvement book (topics can range from general professional development, to finance, to spiritual). In the evenings, before I get in bed, 10 pages of a fun fiction book (topics range from sci-fi to the classics to stephen king type horror). The trick is to just read 10 pages. Last night, I read during halftime of the basketball game. I also always listen to a non fiction self improvement book in the car on audible.
Reading saved my life. I started in 2015 while in my mid 30s. I hate looking at screens all day and nothing soothes me and my vision more than a regular book.

I love mine. I’m usually reading multiple books at a time (especially with work) so it makes it really handy to access them. I take my Kindle to work (I’ll read while waiting for a client to log on sessions) and when I’m in a waiting room.
I want a Colorsoft but kind of waiting for the kinks to be ironed out of the newer tech before getting one.

I used to binge read alot, reading 15-20 books a year. Finish books within a day or two of starting, nowadays my little brain is too conditioned to getting my info in little electronic blurbs, I have little capacity to concentrate for hours at a time. One of my commitments to myself is to read again, I have to reprogram my shite.

Almost daily.

how do you find the time?
I always try to read for 30 minutes to an hour before going to sleep.

4-5 times a week. I will usually read most of the weekend or at night to wind down. My goal is 100 books a year.

Every single night
That's not a possible for me. If I try reading at night, I go to sleep in 5 minutes.
My habits are wake up at 5:00 AM, make myself a cup of pour over coffee, settle down in my recliner and get into the Bible-In-A-Year. That's before I read any emails, weather reports, or TD. Bible-In-A-Year has been my usual for about 5 or 6 years now.
This year, it's the Chronological Bible like it was a couple years ago. Instead of the traditional book, this year I'm using the app which vocalizes it to me while I read along. It has several different translations to consider.

i love to read but rarely make time for it, going to Europe in a few weeks, that's usually when I read these days, crossing the pond, I'll read a book(at least,) on the way over and on the way back

Late night before bed instead of scrolling. Spotify premium comes with 15 hours of audiobook, so I will supplement actual reading with listening on a work commute or while doing things around the house.

Once or twice a week. Just finished Stephen Ambrose, D-Day 6 June 1944. Excellent read. I either read before i go to bed for a few minutes or on the weekends when the wife goes to bed. Then I read or watch Adam-12 episodes

I hate Kindle. I very much prefer holding a physical book.
That said, i can carry around a book in my phone and open it up and read anywhere i happen to be, which is much easier than lugging a book around. i usually end up buying a physical copy of the book i'm reading to read at home as well as having it on my kindle to read when i'm out and about. i know that sounds dumb, but whatever.
