I love reading, I do it almost evryday. Dont watch tv but read. No one I know read as much I do. I love it. I found it a blessing that I can read and that here is so many libraries to go and find it a fullfilling of life. I enjoy it much more than hanging out in a pub or something. Love to read about: spirituality, religion, succes, psychology, cooking, etc. What kind of books do you read and how often do your read.

I used to read more often. but with the distraction of the internet and tv, I have lagged behind in reading. But this year, I would like to read at least one book in a month. In actual fact, I have read more about 9 books already, more than I anticipated. I have resorted to borrowing from the libraries as well, as it is cheaper than buying. I love to read self-help and success books.

I have a lot of books I want to sell off. Maybe I could give you the titles, and if you are interested in them, I can sell them to you cheaply. What do you say?

Hi, yeah I know the tv is a real distracter. I dont put the tv on so it dont bother me. You read already 9 books thats something. A book a month that is easy if you have the time to do it. You know what I have a lot of books and love it to buy them. If you asked me what is your precious thing......My books ahhahah. Realy crazy he?

I've always enjoyed reading murder mystery/detective stories. For one reason or another, they've always interested me. I find that they are a really good read. Although not always possible, I do try to make some time for some personal reading.

Lately i've been reading self help books to help me get an idea of how to pay off debt. Not huge debt but my credit cards i've decided have got to go. I totally want to be done paying them and start putting that money to myself and kids again. I've been reading, "Rich dad poor dad", and "The Millionaire next door." It's actually been really good reads and have really brought some light to my new found mission. Wish me luck and i strongly suggest reading them.

Hey Dookie, whe have something in commen. Rich dad poor dad is a good one. It learned me much about passive income and what the the ratrace is all about. After I read the book evrything changed my life financialy. The most of the people are throwing there money away for consumption and do not invest. Thats how they are stuck in the ratrace they have to work harder to keep there lifestyle. For me I gain a lot of proffit and achieved several goals. A lot of work in the beginning but Iam better of now. Hope you achieve your goals and let me know about it.

hi decilious, I read books frequently,i love history,geography,philosophy and inspiring novels,my interest is very extensive,but not very deeply. I stay at home to do some reading instead of shopping and watching TV. Planting and moving are all my favorite things,but i never get related knowledge from books. There is saying,knowledge is power,i quite agree with it.Knowledge is spiritual nourishment,and books are nutrient.

I adore reading, and wish I had more time to read for enjoyment. I'm in school right now, so I'm reading a lot about politics. It's not that it's not interesting, it's just not always the articles I would read. For fun I tend to read some fantasy and murder mysteries (I've been reading Mrs. Murphy mysteries lately), history and politics.

I like to read a variety of things from the daily newspaper to novels. i enjoy historical romance novels and horror novels too. they are usually filled with suspense and adventure and a sure escape to another place and another time for a while. i read whenever i can. it's something i never get bored doing.

I've always been an avid reader eversince I was young. I first learned how to read when I was five and I remember I used to hangout in a comic stand and read comic books even at such a young age. I also find reading much more enjoyable than going to a club, or even shopping. I used to read chick lit, but lately, I'm more into touching and tragic novels.

I love to read to. I do 2 things, read or laze around in front of the computer. I enjoy reading fiction. Mystery, action and adventure genres are my favorites. I avoid self help books, as I find them a little waste of time. Most of the things written there, I already know. I try to read atleast 1 book a week

I do not particularly like reading but I will probably pick up books which are related to psychology, science, history, geography, art and music. I don't know why I feel tired after picking up a book, especially fiction. However, I just would like to carry on if I am holding a book related to the areas mentioned above.

I also love to read books. I love the creations of Nicholas Sparks, Mitch Albom, Kristine Hannah and a lot more. I also love the Harry Potter Book as well as the Twilight Saga. In reading different kinds of books it is like, it carries you from a different dimension that only you and the characters of the story are their. It is even more fascinating if the genre that you are reading is fantasy hehe.

I'm like you... I read everyday and all the time. Don't watch TV. Would rather read a book than go out to the bar. (Not that I'm a bar kind of person in any event... but my peers still think I'm kinda weird!) And I read more than anyone I know. I always carry a book with me wherever I go and I typically finish 2-3 books a week. My favorite genre is High Fantasy, so I typically read books like Lord of the Ring or Chronicles of Narnia... that take place in their own made-up world and involve some sort of epic quest to save the world! I love books like that. It's only recently that I've tried venturing outside the genre and I've even been reading some non-fiction books (a big accomplishment for me! lol). I still think of fantasy as my favorite though.
