are you a voracious reader ? well i can truly say that i am a voracious reader & i enjoy reading detective novels . my best timing in finishing a book was that i had finished reading angels & demons by dan brown in six hours . well though i had strained my eyes yet i was satisfied in finishing reading one book in such a less time . i am fond of books and good novels serve my best gifts . i have studied all the books written by dan brown , chetan bhagat , sidney sheldon ,and also the sherlock holmes complete by arthur conan doyle . the books of jules verne have really fascinated me a lot as during his time all the books he wrote were taken to be crazy writing as science was not at all developed . dan brown's books have a good plot and there is a great suspense maintained throughout the story . books are many , only that we have a limited time and life span to read through all. we are simply picking pebbles at the sea shore . what books did you like the most?

I read when I get hooked on a book. It's hard for me to just pick up and read any book, but when I find a book I like, I kill it. Haha

Yes, I am, absolutely. I could spend all day reading, if I could, but sometimes, it doesn't always happen that way. Every time that I finish a book, I'll start another. It's just something that I've always done. I can't spend time, without having a book that I'm in the middle of reading. I love reading. I'm a very curious person, and reading is a good way for me to feed that curiosity.

I read 3 - 5 books a week, mostly detective and historical fiction, and I often read a book in a day. I never do more than that, though, as I need space to get the plot and characters out of my system before I move on to pastures new. I think I'd go mad if I couldn't read. I hope I never have to find out.

My reading vice is mystery romance, the classic ones at that! One classic author I will read a book more than once is Phyllis Whitney. When I was a child my grandmother gave me her box of books mostly from Whitney, at first they just sat there but after a few months I got curious and read one. Most of those have been so thoroughly read their pages are falling apart.

I love to read. I average between 15-18 books a month. I read predominantly fiction, and my current addiction includes paranormal romance and urban fantasy books. I have been a reader since I was a little girl, and reading is my favorite hobby. If I'm not reading, I'm usually online chatting about books with my my online friends in goodreads.com.
