I love to read books. I read mostly fantasy/sci-fi and fantasy/romance.  I also like to read historical romance and time travel romance written by authors that do research first before they write their books.  I learn a little history and other information from the better authors.  I also feel that reading in general helps keep your mind sharp and helps you strengthen your vocabulary.  :)  I also read the newspaper sometimes to try and keep up on events in the world.  So much of it is so depression though.  I mainly just get the newspaper to receive store fliers and coupons.

I love to read newspapers but they cost so much I can not afford them. So, I get my news from the internet and my books from the library. :)

I get two different newspapers every day and go through each one and read anything I find interesting.  I also read a lot of books.  I read from a book every day.

    I love the internet because it is fast and easy to connect. I love to read but I do not like heavy books, boring videos and fines at the library. I have my own laptop and that is what I use because I love to read. I read the news, articles and  book summaries.

I just got a 2 weeks' free trial from the Wall Street Journal. I bought a one year subscription a couple years ago when it was $99 a year. Now, it's @ $119 a year. It is the number one newspaper and rightly so.
I like some magazines. I like fiction books. I love movies: romantic comedies; drama

I read both.  I read a book a month, newspapers on a weekly basis, and everything I can on the internet for about an hour a day.  Information is power and being able to speak intelligently on many different subjects opens window/doors for people that were previously keeping them from advancing forward.  Keeping and open mind and properly assimilating the information contributes as well.  Having hard copy books and newspapers is a nice treat...I don't think that bookstores will ever go out of business.

I prefer books because newspapers depress me with the depressing things that are happening around the world. I don't even like watching the news on t.v. I can't stand it. My favorite books are romance novels. I love them.  :heart:

I used to read books and now I have a Kindle.  I read a lot.  I hate myself every month when I pay my newspaper bill because I know I'm paying mostly for ads, but, I'm hooked on the puzzles and cartoons.  I have about a bazillion puzzle books around the house but I still like the ones in the paper.  I don't like the way the ink rubs off either.  :wave:

I love to read books! I read every night....right now I am reading The Help. My first children's book, Crazy Pants, is currently being published. (I love children's books too - have a bookshelf full of them). I created the page Crazy Pants on Facebook to keep people updated on its release and progress.

I seldom read a newspaper any more.  With all the news available to you practically instantaneously on the Internet, I fear one days newspapers will be a thing of the past.  The same with books.  In the future, people may look back on our paper books the same way we think about the ancient scrolls.  But, personally, a computer will never replace the look and feel and yes, even smell, of a real, live book in my hands.
