What is a hobby and whats essential to life?

Following on from Pinkchocolate's hobbies thread, I looked at so many of the hobbies people list and reading comes pretty high on the list for many, I couldn't live without books and reading, they're an essential part of my life.

So when does a hobby become essential and is it still a hobby?

I consider everything a hobby that you don't do as a paid job. In other words, things you do for pleasure.

I love to cook, I'm not paid for it, but not cooking's not really an option because of food allergies and intollerances, so it's fortunate that I do do like it, or I probably wouldn't eat.

What about cleaning? Theres lots of thing we have to do to live, but we're not paid for, but they're definately not hobbies
