I thought about this topic when I walked through my local library and realised that there were quite a few people who seemed to be over the age of 30. My mother told me that she used to read a lot when she was my age (15) but now she simply doesn't have the time. Not many adults/parents that I know, read as much as they used to (which is quite worrying).

My question is, do you believe that you will continue reading when you are older?
The same amount of reading?
The genre of books?
Would your interest decrease?

I thought about this myself the other day, and I think that with work and other aspects of life, I wouldn't have that much time to read as much as I do nowadays. Hopefully I will smile.gif
And in my opinion, I would still be reading the types of books I do now (crime, investigation, fantasy).
Maybe I would stretch the range of books, and start reading romance novels. Who knows.
And I'm quite sure that my interest wouldn't die down tongue.gif
