I read a lot.  I can't pass up a good mystery.  Now and then a good thriller, not into horror stuff.  Stephen King bores me.  I'm retired with a lot of free time so my Kindle and I spend a lot of time together. :wave: :wave:

I love reading books. I'ts great to see a movie, etc, but reading a book lets you use your own imagination and makes the scenes in your own head - not just seeing someone else's ideas

I used to read a lot more for pleasure than I do now.  I enjoy books, but don't have the time due to my studies.  I enjoy anything fantasy or sci-fi though.

It really depends on what you like.. Do you like mystery, horror, romance, drama etc. I personally like to read romance and mystery.

I really like authors like Nicholas Sparks. So I guess romance. His books are so hard to put down because you want to know what is going to happen next

I, too, love to read. Recently I started rereading the entire Marion Zimmer Bradley Darkover series. A friend turned me on to her about 15 years ago and I have loved her writing since. Most people know her through  Mists of Avalon which was made into a TV movie with Julianna Margulies about 10 years ago.  Thanks for opening this subject. It's nice to see so many people enjoy reading!

When I was younger I was always reading during the holidays and my famiy us to be mad and I was a teenage they said I need to get my nose out of the books but they just wanted me to watch the younger kids I still like reading just purchased books off one of these programs I like Marry Higgins Clark but I have been lazy to pick up the book and start reading.  I have been depressed so I think that has something to do with it.  I like stories that have a little mystery and romance in them.

I love to read.  The best thing in the world to me is to lose myself in a really good book.  To be transported to another place and/or time and imagining myself as a part of that world.  I'm very excited that my daughter, now 10, has started getting into reading a lot too.

I love reading.  I probably read between 10-15 books last year outside of the books/texts I had to read for grad classes.  However, with work being so insanely busy and demanding these days, picking up a new book is extremely difficult (finding the time, that is).

I love to read. It takes you away from the stress and drama of daily life. I love when it is raining and kind of cool outside. Snuggle up on the couch with a blanket and read. The simple pleasures in life are the greatest. ;D

My husband and I both love to read.  We can hardly pass up a book store, especially if it's full of old books, the mustier smelling, the better.  I love historical fiction and have read everything I can find by Eugenia Price.  I love to browse in the library, too.  I'm afraid I'll never warm up to the new book-reading devices.  The look and smell and feel of a book in my hands is all part of the reading experience that makes it all the more pleasurable.

Post by: lvstephanie on December 20, 2011, 08:48:14 am
Me! I always have one or two books going at the same time, usually a fiction and a non-fiction book.

I had a friend that loves to read and usually is reading several at the same time. Sometimes people would question her, asking whether she gets confused reading multiple books at the same time. Her answer is to ask how many TV series the person watches in the same season. The person usually gets her drift after that...

I like to read too. I am currently reading my first e-book on my phone. I actually like being able to open up my "book" with only a few taps on my phone, so I can read it anywhere.

I also had a waitress at a restaurant I frequent regularly recently let me borrow a book... Usually when I went to the restaurant, I'd go alone, so I'd bring a book to read, and she therefore noticed that I was a bookworm, too. A few weeks ago, she had mentioned Pillars of the Earth and shortly after she recommended it, I saw the mini-series on TV. So the next time I went in, we talked about it (she said the book is even better, so I'll have to go read it at some point), but then mentioned another book that she thought I'd like and happened to have it in her car, so I was able to borrow it.

I still love to read, problem is I don't have the time usually.
I have to admit that audio books are a nice substitute.

"I had a friend that loves to read and usually is reading several at the same time. Sometimes people would question her, asking whether she gets confused reading multiple books at the same time. Her answer is to ask how many TV series the person watches in the same season. The person usually gets her drift after that..."

I dont get how people can do or enjoy that.
I prefer full immersion in a given world at a time.

I love to read books that allow you to go places you have never gone before.
This may sound strange but I once read a story about a family's vacation to
Florida. Years, after reading that story I found myself in Florida seeing some of
the same things they had descrided in the book.

I recently picked up reading after taking a peek in a Jurassic Park book by Michael Crichton. I fell in love with the straightforward style and suddenly I find myself buying and reading books! I get them at the thrift stores in the area and and at 50 cents for a hardcover the prices are definitely right.

I love reading books in my spare time. I sometimes use amazon to download onto my new laptop or download books on iTunes and read on my iPad or iPod. I have bought like hundreds of books that I love re-reading over and over, but it's really expensive to buy new books. Sometimes I borrow from the library.

I love reading anything but have a spouse who doesn't seem to like me reading.  Maybe she thinks that this is time better spent working on the house or paying attention to her? I spend a little extra time reading in the bathroom!  My current job just gave us a Denver eco-pass which allows me to utilize the public transportation system all year for free.  I have been trying the train system and it gives me an extra hour and a half to read. Driving takes about an hour but is considerably more expensive than free! I just finished Patterson's Toys and am going to work on the Job's Autobiography.

I never used to like reading but, since my children have grown up and moved out I really enjoy picking up a good book.  I can't stand to read stuff on the net, I guess I just like the feel of a "real" book in my hands. I have read 3 books two from a woman named Trish Cherokee and one from a man named Mr. MacTavish.  I must say that I found both of them very interesting.

I'm an OBSESSIVE reader. I especially love the YA genre.. I feel like it has a lot more heart and honesty than your typical thriller or "I'm-only-here-to-make-you-cry" adult drama.

My Kindle makes it super easy to buy books and reduced prices, but it can still be a problem when I look at my credit card statement and say "I ordered HOW MANY books this month?!" Of course, FusionCash helps a bit!  ;)
