A comment on Ask HN: When Do You Read?. Parent comment

It's true that for me, reading is on another category than hobbies, but your comment triggers an interesting question: why?

I never thought about that before...

Just a hypothesis: maybe because I see reading as a means towards an escape, an experience or a learning, while hobbies provide them primarily. I'll have to dig.

About "cut family times in half": this sounds completely alien to me. Why would I want anything like that?

that hypothesis sounds about right, or at least for things that aren't my hobbies.

if your description of family times is to share interesting, meaningful, fun moments together then obviously you should even add to it. i know lots of peoples idea of it, is to just be in the same room!
