AbstractOur life-experiences and our background form the way we act and the activities we are involved in. The overall purpose in this thesis has been to study what Habits are to be found in different activities related to the outdoors and how these Habits have been developed. Hopefully this work can contribute to a better understanding of the meaning of Habits in our lives and thereby play a part in a further differentiated talk about Habits and knowledge in society. The background and my theoretical approach has been three views of Habits:In practice these patterns of Habits are not separable so this approach should be seen as a way of making the development of Habits clearer. Another purpose is to study how the following concepts can be related to Habits: Reflection, master-apprentice, episte?me, techne, phronesis, interest and tacit knowledge.

The aim of this thesis is to study the reading Habits of Swedish librarians visualized by librarians from Götabiblioteken ? a collaboration of 14 public libraries in mid-Sweden ? focusing on the reading done on their spare time, even if work-related. We started with a survey sent out to 74 librarians in October 2013, answered by 56, and followed up by interviewing 7 of them in November.We tried to answer these questions:To what extent does the working librarians read on their spare time compared to before they started working?What literature do they read, now compared to before they started working?To what extent does their perception of what they should have read affect their private reading?In what way does a librarian in the beginning of their career differ in reading Habits from the reading Habits of a librarian with many years in the profession?The result of our study shows that most of the librarians read as much or more than before they started to work. They are more selective in their choice of literature and are affected by their work in it in different ways.

The purpose of this master?s thesis is to investigate the reading Habits of six men who do not read fiction. The reason for my interest is the fact that men statistically read less fiction than women, and that there are few existing studies of this subject. The study investigates why these men do not read fiction, their attitudes towards literature, their reading Habits, their leisure-time interests and if they experience fiction from other activities. Furthermore the study includes a discussion of whether or not there might be a connection between the men?s reading Habits and their identity as men, as well as a discussion of all of the above in relation to their social background.
