are you a voracious reader?

I used to be an avid reader, I took after my nan she was always reading a book! Then along came the internet and my reading more or less came to a dramatic halt. I had to read research books when I was in college, but they are not the same and I saw those as educational and not books that you can just relax and read at leisure. I am currently reading, (don't laugh!) Harry Potter, after seeing the 6th film which I feel wasn't up to much, I find the book far more enjoyable. I like fantasy, horror and detective novels. I do feel that when life gets you down, it's great to escape realism and jump into fantasy and jump into the story and be one of the parts in the story.

I hve been known to read up to 14 books at one time. When i get bored with one it goeson the bottom of th stack & i pick up the next book in line..very organized while doing this, & YES I can remember where i am at in each book also..hehe since i was 3 yrs old, I have read any & everything i can get my hands on, up t & including the dictionary! I lov the NEW dictionary that is out with all the slang in it...Lori

I love to read, but I do not seem to find the time for it as much as I used to. I like to read a lot of genres, but my favorites are history, historical fiction, and mysteries. Lately I have been into themed mysteries, especially culinary ones. I just finished one by Joanne Fluke and am now onto a historical mystery. I think it is called Murder in Milltown or something like that.

I'm quite the reader, have been for as long as I can remember. Yes, I remember the days when I would be bored and get out the encyclopedia just to read it. I've read magazines that I find laying around. I've even had times when I read the ingredients on a can or whatever. Just something to keep my mind occupied. I don't particularly have a favorite genre to read, but mostly I stick to fiction for the simple fact that it lets my imagination run wild.

I have a pretty huge library. I just finished "The Year's Best Science Fiction 2007", haven't decided what I'm going to pick up next. But I have a HUGE backlog. I do love history, but I read more Science Fiction and Fantasy than anything.

I'm not much of a history lover to be truthful. Now, my sister is. She's going for a degree in history and loves to read anything historical. I'm more of a fantasy, science fiction, and fiction lover myself. Always a reader of that really. Sometimes I can read up to two or more novels at a time. Unfortunately I get the story lines mixed up after that.

So Many books,so little time...I discovered the school library when young and never looked back! I don't have a particular preference of book,but I'll read just about anything,and I like having books recommended or loaned to me by friends and family..I could usually keep about 3 books at a time on the go,but now I try to read them consecutively instead of in rotation

Yes I am. i read whatever I can lay my hands on. I like to read very much. Reading is my favourite past time from young childhood.I also like to read dictionary.

Hi friend,

I love to read true crime stories. Unfortunately, I will get about a page read and fall asleep, every time. So I end up trying to read the book about 10 times. Eventually I give up.

Keep on reading!!

Yes I am. I adore reading and try to get my hands on as many books as possible. I'm not a history buff, but I do like encyclopedias and dictionaries and books that can boost my vocabulary...as a writer, this is very important to me.

Right now I'm re-reading a childhood favorite inbetween chapters of two other books, one on genetics and another on societal collapse.

At most I read three at a time. Usually I read just one.
