Do you still read books for enjoyment?
I am one of the last people on Earth who grew up without the internet craze, I suspect most people under 30 have never touched a book.

Mostly when I travel and have available seat.
Sometimes, but no fiction.
Yes. Physical books .... not digital. And you are not the last person to have grown up without all of the internet craze. I also grew up without it.
Yes, books are awesome. It’s a great experience.
Not a chance. Even if I wanted to -- my attention span is cooked for books. And I don't think that's a bad thing cuz I enjoy my life A LOT.

no, but pre-internet I read constantly, and opening a book shop once was dream I had back then. Because books were my escape from this terrible world. Where you could stop existing as yourself, to read about someone else, somewhere else. Or just read facts.

I also cared about being smart back then, of trying to learn everything to figure things out, And now I simply don't care, care as much as I do for a rotten barge of filth.

Getting older does that too you, the age related mental decline is real, and fierce. And everyone I cared about impressing, people pleasing, is dead. Granting me my freedom.

Not often, but every now and then I will. Usually if I'm on a trip or in a plane.

Recently read Doom Guy: Life In First Person by John Romero though. Suuuper interesting if you're into old id software pre-Quake 2. Loved it all the way through.

But my library is all physics, chemistry, math, drafting, metallurgy, soil mechanics, and legal texbooks; along with stacks of patents, contracts, and drawings all done up like scrolls in their little tubes.

Cosplaying DaVinci and Copernicus is its own enjoyment.
i cosplay as plato and defeat others in debates by flexing -w-
Yeah all the time
Audiobooks like crazy
yes but the amount has vastly decreased since my childhood.. but that change is long ago..

as a child and teen I red like 10-15 300 page books every month. easely..

once I got into gaming for real.. as in main hobby around 14yo.. I always gamed the amount of hours just spiked up around that age.. well that pretty much killed my reading... I now may read 10-15 books a year. still but thats only a fraction of what I used to.

than I not count the books I have to read for my job as teacher, the papers of students I have to read.. or the comics I also regulairly read nor the newspaper.. all of that is reacreative and not real book reading...
Yes, I mean on holiday in the evening just a comfy chair good glass of wine and some reading .... me being happy

There's nothing like the smell of old books.
