When do you read Scripture, and why do you read it when you do?

I personally have tried it both ways, in the morning and the evening, and I have decided (with God's help) that I was meant to be a nightly Bible reader.

Sorry for the long poll, but I wanted to be specific.

Well I like to read my Bible in the morning ‘cause I think it’s a good way to start my day but if I get up late or I’m really sleepy that I know I won’t concentrate then I’ll read in the evening. I don’t really have a specific time for it though.
I like listening to some worship music after I read my Bible.. it’s nice:)

I picked 7-8 am, but to be honest, I do it at night too... I do New Testament in the morning, along with my daily devotional. Then at night, I read the Old Testament.

I like to do it in the mornings as well I just feel like it will give me a great start to the day, and actually, I've noticed, it has! When it was cool and nice out, I would take my devotions and sit under the backyard tree. It was very relaxing!

I feel bad about this, but I don't read it everyday. I'm starting to read more often, and after hearing The Bible Network and a sermon about Bible study, I really want to start reading the Bible more often, but I'll say that, on the days that I do read, I read really anytime, though it's usually in the couple hours in between the morning and afternoon.

I've really struggled in the past year to read my Bible daily. I have a specific time to read it, and I do most often, but occasionally I simply don't make enough time for God in my day, and my Bible study simply doesn't happen. I am getting more and more consistent as time goes on, but it's still not every single day.

I really need to start doing it. I seem to pray throughout the day but I don't read the Bible and Pray and stuff. I plan on doing that soon though! I went to a youth conference that one of the speakers said "You can have your personal conference Play your favorite band,Worship while listening,Preach yourself a sermon,and pray. I might do that soon!
