reading is one of my significant ways to spend my spare time. i like to read english books, novels, newspapers and so on. at first reading is not my hobby, i read english materials just want to improve my english. but as time going on, the more time i spend on reading the more i like it, now i read english materials not for learning but really enjoy it.

Well, if you're looking to prove your language skills - reading English material is a GREAT way to do such a thing! (Your English sounds good by the way!). Reading is an awesome way to pass the time, and gain fluency in reading in another language. I wish I could read in another language! Happy MyLotting!

I love reading! Though I read blogs mostly now, I still try to get through a book every month. I kinda failed at it, because I haven't finished a book since July 2011, but I'm not being too perfectionist about not hitting THAT target. Anyhoo, I don't have a particular book I hold my favorite anymore. All I can say is that I choose to read either Christian self-help, or "artsy" novels. I am currently on "1984" by George Orwell. I don't consider the Bible a book. It is daily bread, Life, and a life-changer for me. :)

I love reading, it's one of my greatest pleasures, especially last thing at night before turning out the light in bed. I especially love biographies; I've just finished reading a massive biography of Elvis Presley which I found mesmerising from start to finish. I read online too; but the truth is I don't really like reading online; I prefer to be creative online. Reading for me is something I like to do as a reward at the end of a long hard productive day's work...just unwinding...letting the writer do the work for me...it's a rare joy for me.

I recommend the book of Mitch Albom - Tuesdays with Morrie - it speaks about life and how important it is with our loved ones.

Reading is great. It's a very effective therapy when you are stressed out, bored, depressed, and need to calm down fear and/or high emotions. Reading supplies you tips and ideas for spiritual, physical and financial improvements. In short, there are countless gains from reading and i love doing it. I like Harry Potter and Twilight series, The Alchemist, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, The Greatest Salesman in the World, Rich Dad poor Dad, The Secret and many others.

I don't like reading myself and it always takes such a long time for me to finish a book and makes me feel tired. Therefore, I only read textbooks as I have to understand the topics that are going to be examined during examinations.

I like to read.I usually read my books during free time and when I need time to relax for a while.Reading while having a cup of coffee in the side.I'm more on to reading suspense thriller books.I do read books of Stephen White,and on his third novel.I find his novel interesting and thrilling.

hi jakeyangchao, I love reading even when I was a kid. Actually, I do not get bored much in our house as long as there are reading materials around me. I can say that I am a voracious reader. It has a big advantage with me as I am growing up. I can participate more in class discussions because I got many ideas from books. I believe that reading makes you intelligent. Actually, I also pass difficult exams and I think, one factor of that is because of my habit of reading. I love reading classical novels. I agree with you that it develops your vocabulary.

I love reading a lot, I read everything, as in anything from newspapers, to novels, online forums and articles, inspirational books, magazines, self help books and a lot of other reading materials. I do it because I really enjoy reading ever since I was a kid I really enjoy reading but the problem is I didn't read the books that I am supposed to read as a student like schoolbooks and workbooks. I only read those kind of books when there is an exam coming.

Reading is one of the best activity that I could recommend to person. You will not lose anything by just reading, in fact, you will be gaining ideas and insights through it. There are many books that you could choose to read. It will be up to you to choose if what books suit you. My favorite books of all time are books authored by Paulo Coelho. His books are very inspirational and easy to understand. He is one of the most known authors of today. I am very much impress in his books. It could connect to me easily. You will gain many values after you read his books. I am sure of that.
