I am not going to ask if you read books - most of you will probably bow your head in shame and try to hide behind a pillow.

To many people, books are hideous monsters that sap the life energy of anyone who dares to approach them. You can hear "I don't like to read!"... "It's boring!"... "It makes me sleep!"... blah blah.

But hey, just for the record, I love to read - but no, comics are not my cup of tea.:P

The question here is that even if you don't read e.g. novels, do you at least read comics? You know what comics are right? You know, those flimsy sheets of paper bound into thin "books"... those thingies with very little text in them but lots lots lots of pictures.

I know friends who don't "read" but who are at least avid "readers" of comics. How about you? Do you read COMICS? Any interesting tidbits of your life to tell? Do share.=)

I used to love to read comics when I was a child, especially when my family was traveling by car. My brothers and I used to pass the time by reading comics. My brothers really got into the comic books more than I did, but I did enjoy reading them in the car. They would read them even when we weren't in the car, and one of them collects them to this day.

I haven't read a comic book in at least 25 years. I do, however, love to read books.

And perhaps act out the characters in them too?:P


hellsangel (79)   ranked 1,190 out of 7,635 in reading  12 months ago

I don't believe that I have ever acted like the characters in a book I've read, unless that character is much like I am, that is. Is acting like a character in a book a common thing for you to do, and if so, how so?

i like reading,but i don't often read comics, books bring me many interesting things about the world,and i read for my baby everyday.

It sounds as if you are raising a reader yourself. I had someone ask me once what was wrong with my kids, because they would sit still and read. I am so glad they grew up to be readers.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (9829)   ranked 8 out of 7,635 in reading  12 months ago

teardrops, I love to read books too.=)

And GardenGerty, aren't you proud of having such "good kids who read"?:P

it is so nice to read quality reading materials, this may be comics, novels, news papers and etc... as mark twian said, The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them...i think mark twain is rigth. reading quality reading material is a healthy food for our mind.

GEEZ! Now that you mention it, I do read the comics (just 1 strip of the few published) in the papers. And hilariously, all along, I have been thinking I don't read comics... geez...

Out come the closet comic readers lol! No, to me there is no shame if anyone wants to read comics. I prefer a good Martina Cole novel or a detective or even a horror. I think the last time I picked up a comic was the Beano and that was many many full moons ago!

I love reading books. I do admit I have slept over a few, especially those novels, which were supposed to be 'text books' when I was doing my MA programme. But, on the whole, I love books, and I have read loads of them ever since I learnt to read. As for comics, your post reminds me of "Tinkle", a children's comic magazine that was famous when I was a kid. I used to devour it every month, and I used to bug my parents if they failed to get one home. After Tinkle, I enjoyed, and still enjoy, "Tintin". Any Tintin fans around?


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (9829)   ranked 8 out of 7,635 in reading  12 months ago

Oh yes, I remember Tintin too... one of the first few comics I got.^^

while i was growing up, the first thing that got my attention to read are the comic books because the action pictures attracted me and that's how i got started in reading other things than my dc and marvel comics, even up to now i still do get to read some of them and i still enjoy them. It is nice to feel young again. I even go to the extent of purchasing iconic figures of my heroes for my collection, my favorite is "Thor", the old original character, i hate the new one.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (9829)   ranked 8 out of 7,635 in reading  12 months ago

Oh yea, those pictures are nice.=)
