A few people I have know enjoy scrutinizing and criticizing every part and sentence of a book. A few people yet enjoy reading a book thoroughly, rendering their book an odd and dirty maze full of pencil marks. Some just superficially go through the book and tend to only the plot. Many people also like to put themselves in the character's circumstances and they thus judge the characters emotions. I have also known many who just read a book just to show off. Such as some one who is reading 'Mein Kamf' without knowing about fascism. This is embarrassing when you get caught. lol. What are the major elements you see in a book while reading it? Do you see its plot, or background, or the circumstances of various characters? Or do you let yourself be carried away by the symphony of all the elements of the book. (I agree that it is much more fun in the later way). I also would appreciate you to discuss what aspect of your most favorite book do you like the most? The book I enjoyed the most is perhaps "Sherlock Holmes" by Sir Aurthur C. Doyle. I very much appreciated by the cool and genius attitudes by which Sherlock H. solves mysteries and leaves everyone stumped. There was also a villian named Professor Moriarty, an evil genius whom Holmes stakes much to subdue.

I am not a voracious readers. I am a book lovers, but I love reading short novels, any reading materials that are greatly summarize. I read books from the front to the back and to the climax of the stories..I hate little patience in reading long novels that it seem to last a decade before yo finish all the book chapters. I like books or any reading materials with illustration or have a photos supporting related to the stories..I also love suspense and real survivor stories from real people. I Like emergency survivor, disaster and any nature events..Then the unbelievable but true happenings and extraordinary feats like the collection books of Ripley and Guiness World record. But, I think for the christian, the complete book is the Bible and for other religious groups their own religion books, too..
