I read voraciously (my username might give that away) and will consume every subject under the sun. My current book is about how dictionaries are created (Word by Word), the last one was a contemporary teen lit about a 17-year-old webcomic creator (Eliza and Her Monsters), and the one before that was a graphic novel about a Vietnamese-American immigrant trying to understand her parents (The Best We Could Do).
On the internet, I love to read travel stories (that's the roving part of my name), the kind of articles that go beyond top 10 lists and try to dig into the soul of a place and its people. Steemit is wonderful for this, and for a sampling you can check out those curated by @steemitworldmap (also, @travelman, @anomadsoul, @diabolika, @world-travel-pro and many others). I probably read about 10-20 travel articles daily, which means I get to explore more places than I will ever be able to visit personally.
But, in my heart of hearts, my favorite subject is fantasy. Escapism in its purest form, because it lets you travel to a whole different world and come back with more understanding and empathy for our own realm. And here I honor my favorite author, the late and great Sir Terry Pratchett whose Discworld mirrors our own in ridiculously hilarious ways. There are also some great fantasy shorts to be found right here on Steemit (check out some of the authors curated by @sft).
Thanks to all you content creators for keeping me fed! :D
Thank you for the mention! We have every curation we've done archived in the SFT Library, if anyone would like to browse.

I read all day, whether it's on @esteem, or a novel, or a news article. But I guess the only thing that I read consistently every day are the inspirational pages that I read every morning to start my day with, by Marianne Williamson, or other favorite authors that speak to my soul and give me a good start to my day!
That's great
Thanks...it's my favorite way to start the day!
I have to say my favourate subject to read is a Hong Kong local forum named "LIHKG" which have so many different topic on there, you may treat it as a Hong Kong style Reddit.
I in terms of the post there, I read so many a day which I cannot count. And recently I love some zombie story post over there.
The favourat author of mine would definitly be εΉ³ε±± ε€’ζ a Japanese author, I am not sure are there any English tranlated publish, if there are, I do recommend everyone to have a look on it!
And of course, Happy Holidays!
Very Happy Holidays to you too !
Right now I am enjoying very much the #Japanese Coloring books β¦β¦ I loved visiting the Oriental Gardens in California (US ) with their tiny Bonsai trees.
Every day I read more than 100 articles and comment on all the readings. Most of all I like to read short stories from life. It's very difficult to choose someone. Most of all I like reading articles @tanata. Her articles on the art of photography are very instructive and interesting.
In addition to @tanata, I really like reading the articles @eric-boucher, @swissclive, @beanz, @javybar, @good-karma, @tradewonk, @czechglobalhosts, @abh12345, @future24, @majes.tytyty, @papa-pepper, @stellabelle, @acidyo, @leylar.
Thanks for the mention @cranium :)
Since July this year I've been reading Steemit.
I'm a new convert to Steemit, so I have much to learn.
That's why I read many posts and comments.
My favorite subject is βlifeβ. Iβm happy to learn different lives. I read 10-12 articles a day and my favorite author @velimir.
When I wake up every morning I love to read inspirational books or passages. My favorite author is Max Lucado. I love to be surrounded by positivity. ..I have inspirational quotes all over the house...so everyone here can be reminded to be happy , productive, healthy, kind and humble. I also throughout the day read books on health by Dr. Oz...happiness by Kate Hudson...D.Y.I books and of course cooking. I'm on graveyard hours so at night I read posts on Steemit. I look for the same subjects. .dyi and cooking...but also I will just to go home feed and read everything. I see pictures and recipes from all over the world. Where people live and family traditions. About education and conspiracy theories. Drama and of course crypto currencies :) :) I read often throughout my day it helps keep my panic attacks at bay :) :) - Kayleigh
I read about drawing process that artists write about here and science, about how interstellar adventures work and theories aabout living outerspace.
Nature and health as well. These are my favorite topics.
Its just revolving on wellness as a person and imagination and curiosity.
I like inspirational/motivational posts, poetry, photography with stories. Include also life lessons, a bit of travel blogs and everything that uplifts my soul. Everything else follows.
i like to read about history and info from africa written by @gavvet
I read my Bible daily in the mornings. In the evenings I like to settle down with a good novel on my Kindle. I have a fascination for anything set during WorldWar II. I also read read all kinds of articles relating to every subject you can think of. The truth is, I'm a bookworm!
This is a really nice question, it's almost as if it's a trick question.
Anything to do with steem, or that is found on steem to keep it real with everyone. Steem intself, cryptos, or even something new.
Steem is so rich with information, it has so many portals to view it through whenever or even wherever.
The system built around it really ensures that quality material is produced and shared.
Some days, I'll read a few posts if I'm busy. But if I'm completely free, I literally dive into the steam clouds. I can't give a true number.
My favorite author has to be ever steemian out there. Every piece of work on Steem is valuable. Just like every person.
I like all the reading, for me they all are important and contribute something, I have several favorites, it is very difficult to name one, I follow and read the work of @ abdullar, @ ace108, @ anahilarski, @ awgbibb, @ doitvoluntarily, @ ericvancewalton, @ meesterboom, @ opheliafu, @ sweetsssj, they all do very creative things.
congratulations dear friend @ good-karma for this beautiful initiative
I dont really have a fav subject to read on but i love it when steemians go soap opera, lots of consipracies and drama during that period
I dont count the nuumber of articles i read on, i just open the link and read
My favorite author(s) would be @stellabelle @roksivante and @papa-pepper
Cryptos ... N best author .. news ...
It really depends on my mood and where I am. I enjoy scrolling through the posts on Steemit randomly seeing what's new in everyone's lives, as well as the art, food and photography posts. Away from the Internet I have a handful of authors whose writings I follow. Sometimes I crave a good suspense, other times a tear-jerker, or even a biography. Usually after the holidays I read more than all the other months combined. I call that period the "Winter doldrums" It helps get me to Spring, Lent and all the rebirth that happens when Winter lifts.
I agree, Sis! My best reading time is during the Grey season after Christmas. Although being on Steem really cuts into my reading time.
Lol! This will be my first year being on Steemit during the Winter doldrums. I know you're right!!!
Before I start working for 8+ hours of programming tasks, I never missed to check out current events from http://www.pressreader.com/ on my web browser. In average, I checked/read 3-5 news articles, mostly published by Philippine Daily Inquirer.
On steemit, my favorite subjects are travel, photography and tutorial. Lately, I spend 2-4 hours on steemit so with this, I can read 4 travel blogs, checked/browsed n number of photos and few tutorials. Favorite travel steemit blogger has to be @sweetsssj. On photography, I usually browse photography posts from steepshot. Favorite steemit photographers are @juliank, @digitalis, @allmonitors, @axeman, @pixelfan, @daveks. For tutorials, it has to be @themarkymark.
I read many blogs every day and photographic articles. I like to read about the trips that people make and how they tell their experiences. The same with the photos, I love seeing what they have captured with their cameras. I would say that I read about 10 publications a day on these topics. And my favorite author is @surfermarly, although she has taken some time off from steemit.
I like trips and photos too! Tenemos mucho en comun!
My favorite subject is on stories. Different kind of stories but interesting ones. I do read more than 10 articles per day. Let me say more than 10 because I do read more but not less than 10 and my favorite author is @meesterboom I always love to read his stories. I have set a bot to give me notice as soon as he post. I won't receive it only when I am offline.
The reason why I love his stories is because he always makes it lively and you will definitely interact with him on the post. Funny and will make your day. Well for me.
Thanks.
@seyiodus.
I wish i had time to read a lot, but alas i have 5 children.
My favorite authors are Margaret Weis and Tracey Hickman, they wrote tons of Dragonlance books from the Chronicals trilogy, Tales trilogy, Legends trilogy and many others (63 titles).
Those were my favorite books growing up, i used to borrow them from my grandfather before he passed just to emmerge myself into those fantasy worlds.
On Steemit i will read almost anything in english that has a good enough hook to get me to click on it. My favorite articles have to be personal info, crypto news, and all the great pictures everyone takes. (Told the wife i want my own camera)
I also like running across someone "not so up to date" just to see them create an article with info just too old to be worth anything and let them know their info is off.... (Found someone with charts putting BTC at just over $2500).... No i dont flag but let them know they should try harder.
Well..... Yeah thats about it between being back to work and dealing with all the kids busy schedules lol

My Favourite Subjectπ
My favourite subject is called English because I really like writing and when I read any books, they are such interesting books ,well not the ones that are about weapons the ones that have a mystery in it and when there is a mystery in it I try to solve the problem. when I finished solving the problem I read the next page and then when the problem is solved iI get it right!!!!!!!!! but sometimes I don't. I really like to have spelling tests so then what ever spelling I get wrong I can learn them and speak those spellings, it also helps me write my sentences right and make sure that they make sense. I first didin't get what english was or what it does, so when I was in 3,4,5 and in year 6 I started to know what English was so then I started to like English and then I tried to work hard in it.
Favourite Authors β£π
Fyodor Dostoevsky:
It is fitting that the list is topped by a Russian. Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky was a great novelist, essayist and philosopher who wrote some of the greatest works ever written by man. He is considered one of the greatest and most influential writers ever and I love his writing to distraction .His two masterpieces -- Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov are so beautiful that I cannot do justice describing them. So find out for yourself.
I am a Computer and technology enthusiast. So I like to read about computer and technology. Because I wanna know how the computer actually works. When It comes to the author I can not tell you about any author as you know as computer geek internet is everything. I Am reading a book about C++ programming by Deitel And Deitel. I liked him most, because I have read many books but I could not understand anything. When I Read the Book by deitel It was so amazing everything you read directly goes into your mind. I am enjoying that book. I hope that I will be a good computer scientist in future.
Well I have to say that I love the post from @luzcypher, as it encourages the art of music and singing through contests, I spend my time listening to the voices of those people who do not know, but somehow sometimes I receive to transmit emotions through his voice , sadness, joy. That's what makes the music, an art of soul and @luzcypher makes my stay in steemit this full of quality time. Normally i read all the post published and videos of our dear colleagues who dare to be partakers of the contests.
My favorite topic is music and art.
Thanks good-karma for the chance of win c:
My favourite subjets lately are about cryptocurrencies, but what I read most is about psychology and neuroscience, because IΒ΄m passionate about both
Every day I open steemit and read some blogs, I do not remember how many blogs I read everyday, like @papa-pepper for liking the often uploaded animal photos, and often read some posts related to the latest development art about bitcoin. However, I rarely post in steemit in the last 2 months, because my android has trouble with the camera, then also often close apps by itself, probably because of cheap android I guess, hahaha. So, what I can do in the last 2 months just read regularly blog from @acidyo, @nanzoo-scoop and @costanza lately I also often open blog @davor27, my goal is only one, win the jackpot of the guess contest ball and buy android new. Hehehe, have a nice day @good-karma
Subject life and hope, author god. And that would be the bible.
But yea other then that daily, subjects like photography, music, inspiration, oh and crypto world stuff. and yes lately has been mostly on esteem...
![image](
Reveal spoiler
While favourite subject to read at this time is about crypto currency and I have read almost 5 to 6 books of "DAVID SEIGAL", he is the great writer and written full display of crypto urgency..jpeg)
If we talk about articles than I have read its all article ,even I have invested in his ico pillar and got a profit of 5000 dollar in its initial days.
David SEIGAL is a brave man in world of these virtual crypto currency. He has shown a brief description how crytocurrency generated and how these all work .Even his mentality does not describe only about the information about crytocurrency but it also written about 'how to become a great man in line of businesses'. what strategy one should follow to become a successful business man and even write about semantic web and many other things.>
Even he also told about the topic of science in brief in his book on those topic which helps one in straight growth of an individual in science and computer line.
Reveal spoiler
Man like him has bring great revolution in world of crypto currency.
Well he is a great man , how much we say about him is less. So , I can't describe him in words more..... , A small tribute to big mind.
I mostly try to read motivational and inspirational stuff. It may or may not be on Steemit. I read an interesting article today by @getonthetrain
You can read it here!
My favorite subject to read up on daily is technology in general and programming & decentralization specifically. How many articles I read depends on how lazy I am. On a good day I read none at all, on a bad day I read for hours on end instead of doing something more productive ;)
I don't really have any favorite authors when it comes to articles. If it sounds interesting I read it, doesn't matter to me who wrote it. A famous person everyone listens to can have a bad idea, a person nobody knows can have a great one, so when it comes to articles I read them from as many places as possible, preferably directly from the source, although sometimes you also want to read different people's viewpoints on a story so reading the source is just the first step if it's interesting enough to warrant a bit more research :)
I love checking into this Facebook group called "Awesome women with ADHD".
Having ADHD myself it started to feel like home pretty fast. I hardly ever post or comment there myself, but love being a "fly on the wall" in human pshyche, so this odd choice is my favourite read, they are my favourite author.
The topics can vary from silly little day to day things, to deep and/or dark secrets, it really is a joy to read, purely because it is so random.
maybe it's stupid but I dont understand whether I should write about Steemit articles or in general)...
sorry)
for now I reply in a whole that I like to read about psychology and health and healthy food. I try to improve my life and develop my own personality, rising the quality of my being. And..maybe it is not very modest but I really succeed because I see changes in my nature and my minds. Self-education plays a great role in life because we can choose what our soul likes not what is profitable or necessary for job or bussiness.
Not so long I have discovered an absolutely bright man who is a doctor and a writer now. He shares a revilutionary point of view on medicine, its goals and methods and it is exactly what I was seeking for.
I like brave people who are not afraid to say an opinion against others and the whole world and he is a hero for me.

So now he is the most favoutite author for me now - Robert S. Mendelsohn
I tend to prefer reading human interest and personal growth stories... coming from old fashioned social blogging platforms popular 12-15 years ago; that's what we did back then. I'm less interested in "news" and "facts" because because to me Steemit is a social site, and I am not that interested in "socializing" with news stories... I'm interested in people, and what they are doing in the world.
I probably read and curate 30-50 pieces a day... it just depends on how many gaps I have in my work schedule... favorite authors? Well, @kus-knee "the Old Dog" always comes to mind; @tarazkp is another favorite; and I really enjoy @enjar's amazing comments around the place... possibly Steemit's best commenter!
I read the Bible Everyday...!
I always check and read post about digital currencies especially the every post of @kingscrown. And aside from that I find really inspiring and funny whenever I read post of @trafalgar this guy has a good sense of humor. But the best thing I knew is when the SBD hyped I had fun reading post about it. And more importantly this blog of yours @good-karma Steem Christmas Advent Calendar where you can earn rewards everyday until Christmas! I really loved this initiative it really fits for this season a season to be jolly π»
My favorite subject is history, I read about 10 articles daily and my favorite author R.G. GRANT.
I am a new Steemer who fall in love with this platform. So at this moment I am in a phase where I read voraciously every article I find ! π
Apart from Steemit, I am crazy about new technologies so I am reading the amazing book by Andreas Antonopoulos : Mastering bitcoin : Programming the open blockchain.
Have a good reading day π
My favorite subject in steemit is love and health...
Even though there are lots of good writers are in steemit like @good-karma, my vote is going for @nairadaddy (he has different faces) and @surpassinggoogle because, i think, they are doing some good services to make motivational and improvement for little minnows like me.
He is consistently working for making good things for steemians, every articles of his, teaching something better to minnows.
Everyday i am reading 5 to 10 posts continuously from my followers, from that, @nairadaddy's articles are being very initiative,creativity and motivational one.
His recently created @hug-challenge and @air-clinic projects are has being great way of spreading love, kind,making health awareness, giving health related services and making very fun and intresting the steemit platform.

@adnanmengal
My favorite authors are classical writers, such as: F.M.Dostoevskij, N.V.Gogol, M.A.Bulgakov, which told about treasure of soul and how to live in Russia and that everything, that happens with you is depend on yourself.
Another media articles i read in telegra, such channels: xakep, business, job
My favorite subject is drama, my best author is Paulo Coelho
He is my favorite author outside of Steemit!
I agree with u!
When is the right time to post articles in steemit to earn a lot of revenue? Are there any tips?
Harry Potter The first book and I remember with a lot of love. Still, I did not start the saga for this book. My first Harry Potter book was "The Prisoner of Azkaban" and you were 6 or 7 years old. Why? The truth, I do not remember. But I liked it so much that I immediately ordered the previous two.
In this book we meet all the characters we will love and hate in the following books and J. K. Rowling presents us in a fantastic story. I do not think anyone cares to be aware at that moment of the depth that led us to penetrate this saga. Maybe it's the simplest of the seven but I can not say anything bad about him. I love it.
happy tuesday friends of steemit
