I read when nothing interests me on tv. If I'm mindlessly watching something, I'll usually be knitting on the couch. Also, I love to sit by the pool and read in the summer, or in a hot bath in the winter.
I read every chance I get. Because of my challenge, I have a lot of reading to get through... so pretty much all of my free time, you'll find me reading.
As often as I can - usually on the elliptical, lunch breaks, before bed, during Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, when I have a few free minutes at work, at a red light.
It depends on what I'm reading. If I'm really into the book, I'll read from the moment I get home from work till I go to bed, or several hours on the weekend. If I'm kind of meh on a book, I'll read for maybe an hour a day, or every other day.
I read every day as long as I am not at work, or eating usually...sometimes even while eating dinner... It is very hard for me to put a book down once I start reading it.

When I'm reading a really good book, I pretty much carry it around with me and read it every chance I get - I think my family gets pretty annoyed by it.
Non-fiction books I can put down much easier. I tend to read them in the carpool line or while waiting for the kids at sports/activities.
I read before bed, at least 5 nights per week, and usually for at least 45 minutes or more. I also read when I have to work the evening shift at my work because we are usually slow then. I usually don't read during the day unless I'm on vacation.
Every chance I get! I listen to audiobooks on my drive to and from work (and when I drive anywhere else), and I also listen to them when I'm running, cooking, cleaning, working on the house, etc.
I read-read at lunch and any snippets of downtime I get. Sadly I haven't been getting to do as much of that lately as I usually do. At least I'm getting lots of audiobook time in.

If I'm really into a book, I will read it every chance I get until I finish it. I carry a book with my everywhere. If I am not really interested in the book, it can take me awhile to finish it. I'll read whenever I get the chance usually.
Mostly at bedtime but if I take my lunch (which has admittedly not been much lately) I will read then as well. I find that I read more if I can sneak in a lunchtime read just because it keeps me excited about the story.
daily, for varying amounts. my minimum is 30 minutes, but I've been known to read for 5 hours straight on my days off. I don't have kids yet so I actually have that kind of time! I can easily read a novel in a day.

As much as possible. My 5 year old daughter is always outside playing with her friends, so I will grab a cup of coffee and my book and sit on the front deck to keep an eye on here. Sometimes I will sit there for a couple of hours while she is playing. Also, I usually read for about 30 minutes or so before bed and sometimes on my lunch break at work.

All the time. I listen to audiobooks on my commute and when doing stuff around the house. It has become a habit to have one on. I read grad school books and fun stuff on my kindle at night and during breaks in the day.
