      I used to read a lot back then. Now I want to read but have less time for doing so. Also my tastes in reading have changed while growing up. Reading has given me the ability to imagine, to think from different angles, opened my a mind palace (as Sherlock would say) when my immediate surroundings bore me.

      I definitely read a lot, mostly fiction, and I still try to read as much as possible. I think reading made me more imaginative, helped me be open to new ideas and gave me confidence that everything is possible 🙂

      I hated reading books! I have only just got back into reading now. I hated the fact we had to analyses them at school it took the fun out of it. I wouldn’t say it has affected my life, I do sort of think I would have found writing easier if I had read more.

      I did – I read a lot of Anthony Horowitz in particular. I really enjoyed it, and I’m kind of sad that life is so busy these days that I never sit down with a book and start reading again.
