Post by: JuletLindo on April 12, 2011, 08:13:19 pm: I wish I had more time to read!

I used to read all the time. I enjoy fantasy and mystery thrillers. Anything that is written well and really pulls me in. I just finished one mystery book that's part of a series and it left me wanting more. Unfortunately, I never made the opportunity to go buy more of the series and I'm regretting it right now. It's like my mind craves a book. And not a kindle or anything like that. For some reason, I really need just a traditional book. I like the feel of it - to hold it and turn the page makes me feel like I've accomplished something, verses something electronic with a click. Maybe I'm just old fashion.

Just typing about this makes me want to go read a good book.

Post by: Annella on April 12, 2011, 10:15:42 pm: I read all kinds of books. The Bible is number 1. Biblical history books are my next favorite. If I had the time, my nose would be stuck in a book 24/7. Non-fiction is another favorite, mostly autobiographies.

I don't read fiction romance novels or bodice rippers. I did read the Twilight series to be able to understand what all the girls were so crazy about. I figured if it was written by a Mormon woman they couldn't be too bad :o However, while I understand the attraction of the illusion with young girls, I found them to be tripe.

I like mystery books also. I love the suspense. I also like to read books by particular authors because usually once you find an author you like, all of their books are pretty good.

Post by: CMum1028 on June 15, 2011, 06:08:14 pm: Well, I haven't really been a big fan of books. I prefer more to watch movies that are based off books that I am tempted to read, but never do.
Title: Re: WHAT KIND OF BOOKS DO YOU READ
Post by: candyterrius on June 15, 2011, 11:48:51 pm: I mostly read nonfiction and holy books. I read fictional novels once in a long while depending on my mood. When I am settled in reading, I am totally transfixed.
Title: Re: WHAT KIND OF BOOKS DO YOU READ
Post by: footemama on June 16, 2011, 12:08:34 am: I LOVE to read! My interests span many many genres and authors. Some of my favorites are Stephen King, James Patterson, Robin Cook, Christine Feehan, Lynn Kurland, James Rollins, and Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child.

Although I'm most looking forward to reading the last of the Clan of the Cave Bear books, The Land of the Painted Caves. It's been a couple of years since I have read the others though so I'm going to start at the beginning and read them all the way through again. :)

Post by: tigerlilly01 on June 16, 2011, 04:52:29 am: I use to LOVE to read but I can't seem to sit still long enough read so I got an MP3 player and now I download books from the Library and put them on my MP3 player and listen to books. I have listened to hundreds of books but my favorite are James Patterson books ... Alex Cross Series or the Womens murder club. I love a little romance, with a little mystery ... I also listened to the Twighlight Saga..... This way I can walk or clean house etc and still be "reading" a book!!!! ;D

Title: Re: WHAT KIND OF BOOKS DO YOU READ
Post by: Tresbn00 on June 16, 2011, 07:39:26 am: I like to read during every single free moment that I have...which isn't very often! I just finished "The Big Short" by Michael Lewis which was exceptionally well written and fit in with a temporary job that I was working at. I try to read one book a month which usually gets done when I escape to the sanctuary (bathroom) where I am rarely interrupted by my wife, kids or dogs. If money had been no object I would have majored in literature in college. I love Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Rand.

Post by: shepherdchik on June 16, 2011, 08:56:13 am: I guess it depends. Sometimes I read a review or someone tells me about a book and I'll go buy it or borrow it and read it even though it may be a book I would never get for myself. I like thriller or murder mystery, like Dan Brown or Stephen King. I read the Twilight series so I enjoy vampire stories. I like to read Shakespeare as well, they are just classic stories

Post by: smithjcsdfw on June 16, 2011, 09:16:25 am: I enjoy reading science fiction novels and of course the western novels by Louis Lamour. His way of describing locations is in such a way that you can picture in your mind the place that he is describing.
