I wonder, do people still read books? As a kid and through the years I loved to read. It seemed that most of my friends also read, and not just for school purposes. The past couple of years I have noticed less and less people I associate with like to read. Do you still read books?

You sound like my husband. We always joke that if he had only enough money for food or a book he would always buy the book.

Sometimes I wonder that very same thing myself. I'm always hearing people talk about computers and tv. I got mad one time and said "do you ever pick up a book"? The person replied "huh"???
I couldn't believe it...
I think that most people have replaced reading a BOOK because they think that reading on the computer makes up for it.
I love to read, and so does my fiance. We both read every night for two hours before bed. And sometimes during the day we have a couple hours where we do nothing but read.
We do watch tv, and we do use the computer, but they aren't important to us.

I love reading books, I have several bookshelves full of books and am always looking for more. With standards in literacy falling I believe reading books is essential in order ti keep the English language alive.

I agree. My house is just short of becoming a library. My husband and I both like to read and I'm glad to hear that there are others. Thank you.

That's a good point about being hand-fed. It's sad.
