I much prefer reading unless I'm exhausted or want to do something mindless, then I will choose TV. I'm probably on the computer more than both of those combined though

Definitely reading. I can live without tv, except when I am really feeling brain dead and need a distraction,but if someone were to take away my books, I'd be devastated!
I am finding that I spend a lot more time on my iPad during the day now and not as much time reading, so I'm trying to make a conscious effort to change that again.

I love to read and I think I enjoy it more, but I also like tv. I guess it depends on my mood.

I like watching TV with DH because we can be sort of mindless but also interact with each other and talk about what's going on in the show. I almost deleted that because it sounds so terrible but at the end of a long day sometimes we are too tired to sit around and talk about the meaning of life
I love to read in bed, though. We are a "no tv in the bedroom" family.

If I'm alone, I prefer to read. If I'm with DH, I prefer to watch tv.

I prefer reading but thats because there's usually nothing interesting (to me) on tv, I'd rather read a book (only read ones with happy endings) then sit and watch tv.

I like to read mostly, but really heavy stuff that requires concentration. Since my daughter has been born, it's been hard to reengage in all of that because I don't have that much energy by the time she goes to bed and I can read. So I end up watching more tv than I'd really prefer.

Read, definitely, unless I just want to zone out. Even then, I'd rather play with my phone.

I like having the TV on in the background while I catch up on IG and Hellobee on my phone.

We don't have a TV so I guess I'm in the reading camp. But frankly, mostly I'm online.

@sarac: Same here.
Love reading but, honestly, once LO is asleep my mind needs a break and TV definitely gives it that break.

If I'm not reading anything, I'll turn on the TV. It's just easier. If I have some good books ready and I can read it on my iPhone kindle app, I'll read like crazy. I should go find a good book.

I love reading, but I used to read wayyyy more than I do now. I tend to get tired when I read, and it's easier to zone out to the TV when I'm tired, sadly. I'm trying to get back to reading more.

I love to read. I watch more TV after work than reading though because I need something mindless.
