What do you prefer to read...... novel, short story or poem?

I love to read books. I read all sorts of books.
But these days I read reference books mostly. I also love to read fiction. I collect used books too, as its the only way I can afford them. Now my collection has grown to around 3000 over the years.

I am a book lover (not lover booker). I read novels and I always prefer short stories. I have leading short stories books by O'Henry, Guy Muppusant etc

I will read anything at all, well almost anything that is. LOL

It is my favourite hobby in fact and I have very catholic tastes in my reading which is anything from murder, mystery, suspense, nature, history and travel to name just a few things. There are times when I read poetry, but I do have to be in the mood for it. Short stories are for when I am travelling because it is hard to lose track of the plot which can happen with a novel. :)

The whole family are readers, so there are always books laying around the place. We all read ever day and in fact I cannot get to sleep at night unless I have read for at least 15 minutes, so ingrained is the habit of reading.

i love to read novels ....because they r intresting ........

I like to read short stories,and poems,i dont have the paitience to read a long book.Mostly read stories off of the internet,and read magazines.

I read almost everything, i prefer history and mythology but also read politics travel and many other non-fiction topics, as for fiction I prefer novels and plays, then short stories and some poetry..

I like reading, I like reading books and short stories and poems. But like everyone and like always, I cry over the shortage of time and hence I prefer picking short books and poems over novels. Though I read novels too, but that is less than often.

as you know I am a true book addicted...therefore I am always reading something...I have just started the last from Isabel Allende..she is one of my favourite author...I am sure I'lll ike this one,too but I'll tell you more next time..I like novels and I like poems,too...my favourite poets are Giacomo Leopardi, one of the greatest Italian poets, and Pablo Neruda...they are so different from each others but they can speak to different sides of my souls...on the other hand, i don't like short stories very much...don't know why but I can not feel comfortable with them...the only time I loved short stories was when reading those written by Hemingway..superb...and Snow on Kilimangiaro was fantastic!

I usually read novels or short stories. I hardly touch any poems. Novels keep you engrossed. But lately, its only study books for me.

I like novels better than short stories or poems. I like to have details when I read and when u read short stories or poems u don't get all of the detail b/c they're shorter.
