I have read many books. I like to read comic books. They are interesting and easy to read, and they stimulate one's imagination. But my friends, said that I read too many comic books and its useless. I don't understand what my friend mean, though. I don't it isn't useless because it gives me fun when I was bored. Also, I love to read the Bible. I read it every morning and before going to bed. I learned a lot of principles there based on the word of God that help in making many decisions in life.

I used to read comic books. Superman was my favorite and I wore out 101 Dalmations. I loved horses when I was young and probably read every book the library had on the subject. I may have thought the same as your friend about comic books if it hadn't been for some research I did on the series Angel and how it had become such a popular comic book icon.

Way too many to account. I'm getting to the point where I read about two decent sized novels a month and a few comic books a month. And that is not counting any times where I read something online. Then there are times where I am going to read slightly more each and every month. There are times where I can burn through more novels. Then there are times where I just go through about one per month and obviously that's not considering when I re-read a book for the second time. 18-24 novels a year on average, plus various comic books, both old and new. There are just many times where I wish I really going to take the time to read a bit more. This has been a busy year, but finding time to read before I go to bed has always been the highest priority. It is really going to just push me through the highest heights, allowing me to get a lot of things done, allowing me to read any number of books.

I've read so many books that I had have to say that I've read thousands and thousands, countless books. I've been an avid read ever since I was a kid. I can't help but want to read books, one after the other. It's just always been the way that it's been. Whenever I finish reading a book, I have to go and start reading another.

I firmly believe that all the mylotters have read a good number of books but nobody will be able to give you the exact figure as nobody dares to count the number of books read by him. Moreover, it is not possible in practical life.

Oh...that's a very "_______" question. How can anyone remember how many books he/she have read? Okay, lets try to count mine... Nursery: 1 LKG: 3 UKG: 4 HKG: 4 I: 6 to 7 II: 8 to 10 III: 8 to 11 IV: 9 to 12 V: 9 to 12 VI: 10 to 13 VII: 11 VIII: 14 IX: 15 X: 16 XI: 12 XII: 13 During all summer vacations I have read multiple comics like you...total 250 comics. after that it's impossible to count, actually during my first year of college, I have converted my study room into a library where I have many books including writers like: Shakespeare Prem Chand Kalidasa Sydney Sheldon V.S. Naipaul Vivekananda R. N. Tagore Nagarjun Oh, I can't write them all... During my college life, I did B. Tech in Agriculture first which compelled me to read multiple books every semester... at least 40 books per semester... Then I did my MBA...It also required me to read many books per semester...that I cannot recall exactly...maybe 30 books per semester... I have subscribed India Today, Femina, and OutLook which comes every month at my place... I also borrow books from my friend whenever they interest me...like recently I borrowed Linda Goodman's Sun Signs... I have also joint a library nearby my place... So, really it is very difficult to count how many books I have read in my whole life till now, but another easier way to say is "Countless" or "many".

That's a very difficult question as we grow old reading books and it starts from our school days . I used to read Tintin and Asterix in my childhood . It is fun to read comic books and story books . We also learn from them . I have also read many academic books . As I earned three master degrees I had to read innumerable books . Apart from this , like most educated people I have read so many books , many names I can't remember now . It is worth reading . Don't listen to your friends and read as many books as you can no matter what classes they belong . Read whatever interests you . You will be more knowledgeable and you know knowledge is power . Happy reading friend

I have read so many books in my life that I can only say "countless". Some are for fun, others are to learn, some serve both purposes. I think that I had read a lot over 1000 books before I was 10 years old. Reading was my main interest when I was little and that took me to my main interest now. I´m a writer in my own language. I´m not writing right now, because I´m ill and don´t want to write about that (or maybe don´t know how to write about it). But books have been the path of my life since I learned to read at age 3.

Hi, well if that is what you want, go on reading comic books. maybe what your friend trying to say is that focus reading some helpful books for example, newspaper, literature as it can boost your knowledge. comic books are good as well but for me it's just for kids.

I forget already. Too many book, from novel to comic, engineering subject to religion, from history to popular science. I like to read, but honestly some time I did not read it till end. Just, look for interesting chapter, randomly. Comic is not 100% useless, some comic can teach us what discipline really are. Or what kind of friendship we can choose. Reading right comic can give us good lesson
