Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night. Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and natura...

For me the advantages of reading are clear - you can not only develop your language, thinking or imagination but also understand the world and yourself better or what is also really important - entertain and relax! I hope kids of today will understand it.
From my observation, I suppose that the “non - reading” period slowly walks away. Compared to previous years we could see an increasing number of characters which are reading a book in the park or underground station. I don’t exactly how is the matter of children’s, but they probably have a choice between a book or a cartoon they rather choose the second one. I remember that when I was younger, that was the big boom on Harry Potter series and even before screen adaptation of the first volume the children’s has admired in the magic world from the book. I’m not sure but probably the children’s hasn’t reading a books because they have no specific and curious titles which could enchant them.
Now, a books we can very easily purchase and it’s not necessary to go to a bookshop, there is only to do is turn on the computer and find out something for yourself in the internet.
Companies sealing books performing really well in Poland. Empik and other book stores sell a lot of books too. In conclusion we could agree that we do read a lot of books here in Poland. Would you agree with me?
2) It's a past, present, and it is a future. Period!
3) Oh gosh, there are so many of them. But recently I restarted Pride & Prejudice, which is just a fantastic book, so amazingly written. I saw also the movie, and TV-series, but it's nothing when compared to the book. And I think there's again a problem: people are thinking "why read a book? They'll do it into a movie soon enough...."
4) All of them. But I read at least one book per week. I love doing it, it relaxes me, it makes me run away from my problems for a moment, it helps me to solve some problems in my own stories...
I think for these who want, readign will always have future. No one can stop anyone if that somebody wanna read.
Hm... taht will be a problem. i don't have that one favourite book, or series of book. I love fantasy, everything with abnormal creatures :D
Most of disliking reading books can be from school, I remember how i must prepere to each lecture... When i read booki got 2... but, when i focus on details i got 5. that was strange and made me didn't like that every one book...
I don't agree with that. As someone above mentioned lots of people read in public transport or in parks.
2) Do you think that reading has a future?
Reading is always a future option. Medium will change from classical paper one to e-reader like Amazon Kindle. But reading won't change :)
3) What is your favorite book?
"Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri.
4) Which of the advantages of reading pointed out above convince you the most? Why?
I do not read for my own pleasure. I study technical books and things that I will need in my work or in nearest future.
The art of reading books slowly dying. I think the guilty are parents who do not read books to children. More and more electronics also distracts people's attention from the literature.
2) Do you think that reading has a future?
Yes, but the electronic version. They are cheaper, portable and does not take up space. Convenience is everything.
3) What is your favorite book?
Most of the books written by Stephen King. For example, The Dark Tower series.
In my opinion it is because books are expensive. If they would cost 5~10zł more people would consider buying them. Now books are considered in Poland as "higher" entertainment, because of their price. If they would be cheap, people would buy them like now they are buying "fakt" or "super express".
2) Do you think that reading has a future?
Reading in overall yes, not reading paper books.
3) What is your favorite book?
I have many and I can't choose only one :)
4) Which of the advantages of reading pointed out above convince you the most? Why?
"Books help us develop our language and our vocabulary" Because it is true :) You can learn many new words from good written book and It help you to speak in more compact way.
The problem with reading is in the education program. From a young age children are forced and not encouraged to read books. I think that reading books like the author mentioned to help us develop our language and our vocabulary and develop our thinking. They give us to think with concepts and new ideas. They widen our consciousness and our world. I agree with those statements.
My favorite books are the stories of Andrew's Pilipiuk and Jacek Piekara.
