Well now a days with computers and all tecnology we read less and less books. How many of you still read books? How often? What was the best thing you ever read? The last time i read it was last year but i loved the book PERFUME.

I'm definitely a lover of technology but no matter how technology moves forward, I will never give up reading and collecting books. This is a treasure I will always keep. I'm into computers and I'm presently studying an IT course so I don't really have much time for pleasure reading but I try to do some at the weekends. There's great therapy to be had in reading I think. I like regular reading as it is a good form of escapism. So, there's my story!!! Andrew

I read from a book almost everyday. I went through a phase in my life when all I was ever reading was on the computer and I found that I was not very happy with that. Books make me very happy. I have a hard time answering the question about the best thing I ever read. Probably something by John Steinbeck.

All the time. Nearly every day. ^_^ Usually at least two. I do a ton on the computer too, I just don't find it as an excuse not to read -- you can't stop me from reading.

I probably read a couple of times a week, depends on my mood. Some days I will sit down and read a whole novel in a day and then I may not read anything else for a week. Just depends on how tired I am, and whether I am in a movie watching mood or a reading mood. I have read so many books that I don't have a best thing I ever read, I have a few favorites but no 1 best book.

I try my best to read before I go to sleep. I'm currently reading the Harry Potter collection and am on the 5th book out of 7. I would have to say that my two favorite books are: The Diary of Anne Frank and well... all the Harry potter books!

I have always got my nose in a book, I like self-help books a lot which help me, you know the ones helping you gain assertiveness, positivity and helping your self esteem, I can learn a lot from them, I also like reading detective books too and fantasy, I am currently reading C.S. Lewis Narnia 'Prince Caspian' I saw the film on Friday but haven't read the book. The best ever book I have read has to be Harry Potter, I never get fed up with the books and can read them again and again.

I read everyday. I'm really an avid reader. It's something that I've always enjoyed doing. I've always enjoyed reading, ever since I was a kid. I'm not really sure why, I can't explain it, but all I know is that I've always loved to read.

I read nightly when I go to bed I lay down all snuggled in my big comfy bed and read a chapter or two until my eyes get heavy with sleep then I mark my page, turn out the light and got o sleep. Reading really calms me down and relaxes me for sleep. I love to read books, and do it everyday, sometimes I even read part of my book during the day too...
