How much reading is too much reading?

Is there such a thing? I think I achieve the perfect balance while juggling work & home currently. I fully intend to be a fulltime reader when I retire.

I really don't think you can read to much. You can only read to much if it starts taking over your everyday life suck as your job and responsibilities at home.

There’s no such thing as too much reading! Books are amazing and they’re good for the mind.

I don't think it will ever be enough, I will always be happy to read until the end of my life. From now until then.

Reading undeniably offers numerous benefits, including enhancing creativity, expanding vocabulary, and fostering critical thinking. However, as with anything, moderation is key. Rather than viewing reading or any other activity as inherently good or bad, it’s more productive to focus on balance and diversity in our daily lives. but personally speaking, there's no such thing as "too much reading "

I think this is a subjective question.We are wired differently once you reach a certain point and the body feels strained ,it gives up.It is just like food,when can you say you have heard enough

If I could just live on reading, I would say there is no such thing as too much reading! But alas, as there are work things, if reading starts interfering in your productivity at work, then yeah, you need to balance.

I once did a 24-hour readathon and felt that was going a bit too far for me, but otherwise I love reading books, when I can do it at my own time, leisure, and pace.

I love to read and read a lot but I can’t actively ignore my family and close friendships to read, so there’s a definitely a balance

There is nothing like too much reading for me. As long as my reading doesn't interrupt in my quality time with family and friends and also with work I can read for how long I want to

Yes! I think you can indulge in too much of anything. Life is about balance. If reading is causing one to become sleep-deprived, it’s too much. If you’re skipping meals because you’re lost in books, it’s too much. If you can’t maintain any social connections because you’re too busy reading, it’s too much.
