   it depends on my mood. I write more often when I'm feeling more emotional and I feel the need to express myself through words. Writing for me, is thereupetic. Reading is more a more passive activity, it helps me fall asleep. Reading is relaxing. Writing is, as an activity is more stimulating.

      good description on the passive/active difference between the two. Yes, writing can be very stimulating. What I like about reading, though it is considered fairly passive, it often stimulates me to write.

   Well, right now I'm taking a small breather from my blog so I'm reading more but I like to write. I have to be in the mood to write though. Sometimes it's really difficult to write what I want to say.

   That's an interesting question. I do enjoy reading blogs, and I read more than I write. But I find that I switch between being a blog reader and a book reader. If I'm in the mood for a book, then there's no pulling me away, and my rss reader gets full of unreads. If I'm in the mood to read blogs, I stop reading books. I am not a writer, though I'd like to become better at it.

    I tend to forget about or lose interest in blogs unless the person writes everyday or more. I'm really not much of a blog reader. The computer hurts my eyes and gives me a headache sometimes. I much prefer reading offline, especially books. Science fiction mostly but I read almost everything.

       @hatingtherain - I mostly read sci-fi, too. Any favorites? I need a new book to start.

    More of a writer, because it's my job as well as my hobby. But I love reading as well. I read a certain routine of blogs, plus I always have a book going, and also read news online.

       sounds like reading feeds your writing.

       No question. It always has, even before the birth of blogging. It can be really inspirational.

    I do both, but it does depend on what time I have to waste. As I'm a student I don't have that much free time (believe it or not) so I spend most of the free time I do have writing. On the weekend though I do like to read other blogs, particularly the ones I follow. I find it interesting how different the styles of writing are in different blogs and how professional they all seem to look.

    I am always more of a reader than a writer. But, as you read more, it becomes necessary to write to truly understand what you are reading. Grammar, structure, and many aspects of the written word are not taught by reading. Writing increases the ability to discern the quality, effort, and even truthfulness of what someone is writing.

    I'm with you exactly. I read a lot, but I don't like to read online; the vast majority of my reading is print publications. There are very few blogs that I read regularly and none at all that I read daily.

    more of a drinker. but any good writer would tell you that you should read more than you write just to make your own writing better.

    In terms of time, I probably write more than I read. For some reason it takes me longer to come with a page of words than to read someone else's words already written down.
    
    However, I do read a lot. I read more off-line - books and newspapers - but I do read some blogs. If I had to pick a site that I follow most often, I really like to wander around Wikipedia.

       I admit to a weakness for wikipedia too... i know it's not the most accurate source of information, but it is constantly updated and so easy to reference... it's like jello.

       God Wikipedia is so addicting. Like pringles. Once you pop (open a page) the fun don't stop. I will go to look up one small thing and 2 hours later I have about 50 windows open and somehow I know more about underwater basket weaving than I ever really wanted to.

    Well I do both, but I had to choose I would say I'm more of a writer. It really depends on what I am reading. If for example I'm reading someones blog and every entry is so interesting, than of course I will always go back and read it
