why shouldn't you read when you want to, you're retired you can do whatever you fancy, I don't read as much now but used to spend hours, depending on the book..enjoy your time

As someone who has been an avid reader ever since I could read, I've got to say a resounding NO!

I’ve always loved to read and since retiring I spend hours every day with my nose in a book. I have a healthy social life, am out walking every day with the dog and also volunteer but I can’t help thinking I should be doing something a bit more productive.
I know how good reading is for us but is it possible to read too much?
