Nowadays I have bought many kinds of books, such as travel, math, cooking etc. It seems that I am much more interested in buying cooking books because I like cooking for my family and friends. When they enjoy my food, it's my happiness. And reading cooking books will give you many inspirations and you can also learn to cook anything you like.

hello there to U...i really do love reading all kinds of books...well, the BIBLE is really my favorite book ever...i love reading the BIBLE, i do read it everyday... Aside from reading the BIBLE, i love to read fictional novels, detective stories, educational books, encyclopedias, cook books, inspirational story books, reader's digest, Christian books, etc... I love to read all kinds of books...as long as it is cool, interesting, and informative...i love reading, it's one of my favorite hobbies, aside from cooking... Reading is really important in our lives too...it actually, explores our mind into another world...it makes our mind really works... There are times, i would admit, that i have no time for reading a lot of books anymore...because i'm always busy at work...but i always find time to read lots of interesting books... Well, good for you, because you love reading books too like i do...reading books is really a cool hobby...keep on reading and appreciating books...have a blessed day ahead of U...may GOD BLESS U & UR family always!!!

I tend to buy plays both classic and modern ones as I am doing a drama degree and often need them for my course. However I do enjoy just reading plays and have a lot in my collection ot of pure interest for them. I also buy novels, these tend to be of a more fanatsy nature.

I don't buy books that aren't pocketbooks. I'm addicted to pocketbooks and novels. I read anything, from mystery to romance. Anything that interests me go right to the cart. :) I really don't know how to cook but I really want to know how. I've been interested in it though I'm really busy.

Cook books are good reads. But I usually don't look at them till I want to cook something. What kind of cooking are you into? Chinese cuisine? French food? Or are you into baking? What kind? Pastries? Cakes? Breads?

Ah... a versatile cook we have here. So which cuisine is your best? Which is your favorite recipe? I like to bake a lot. And I know what you mean about the washing up after. It is MESSY! But when you see the look of satisfaction on the faces of the people who eat your stuff... it is all worth it!

I know cooking many different food. I like to make pizza at home as my son and I love it. I also bake the meats and that tastes nice. I make cakes and cookies but not so often because it's frustrating when you have to wash the tools after that

These days, I usually buy traveling books and some leisure read from Taiwanese writers. I have been collecting those books and therefore every time I see something interesting, I would buy them. I used to buy English novels too but these days, I haven't really discovered anything good, so I put a stop to buying those temporarily.

Lately I downloaded three Longly Planet books via the net. Perhaps they will be useful for me before I have a travel plan one day.

I like to read all kinds of books. However, i don't like to borrow them from the library, hence i like to collect the books i enjoy. My study is not very big, but in which I place a comparatively big bookcase for my collection. In my spare time i enjoy reading by choosing one of them form the shelf. The process is somewhat an entertainment to me. I like cooking too. I have bought many cookbooks, which include the way to make spicy food, sweet food, etc. Our country is one with many famous dishes, so various cookbooks are available here. I like to follow the instruction and cook for my family. it is really a great joy.

I don't like borrowing books from the library. Because the books are very old and dirty. It's not convenient as I have to return it in a month. I like to own something I like:)

Haha, you could be a good cook. I also like cooking by myself at home. Cooking is thought as a art, I can add my idea and design on every course. So I buy a few cooking books in book store. Travel,history books fascinate me as well. I could see some beautiful pictures of famous areas and countries from travel book to get tips on my trip. I could acquire knowledge touching historic person and historical events from history book.

To be honest I don't tend to buy books because they are very expensive especially in the high street, so I usually look at Ebay or Amazon for them, because you can save a fortune, I like fiction, detective novels and will buy them cheaply from charity shops to support the charity or borrow them from the library. When I was studying I used the college library or bought the books cheaply online.

I usually buy fiction books. When I have no idea what to buy, I look at the best sellers section. If I've a book and I loved it, I would find other books that the author also wrote. When I hear about good books, I would look it up in the internet and read reviews. Some of my books were just given to me. I also like mystery novels.
