 :)  I used to read books...not anymore because I find them boring and time consuming...a total waste of my personal time. Libraries fine you if you return them late...I have better things too do with my time. Now I read sypnoses (summaries) of books if I find them to know what these books are all about.

Sorry, but I find that a very sad attitude. No judgement or anything, but I just can't imagine finding books or reading a waste of personal time.

I've always been a very avid reader...it's funny, one time I was at somebody's house and his family came over, and they were watching tv...a commercial came on about reading, and this chick goes "Reading is dumb, who would wanna do that??" I immediately knew this was the stupidest sentence I'd ever hear in my life.

I am an avid reader, too.  I don't know if it's a generational thing or not -- love of books, I mean.  I'm 50 and my husband is 63 and we both love to read.  I think one of the best pleasures in life is the feel of a hardcover book in my hands (okay -- quite your sniggering out there!).  We raised our son in a home where we were always reading and I read to him like crazy when he was a child.  Now, he's 21 and would rather play video games or watch movies before he would ever crack a book.  Drives me crazy!  I think it's a generational issue due to the way kids are taught in school today.  But, I'm sure there must be some young folk out there who still love books in their young adult lives.  NOTE:  I would love to have a big house with a huge private library to go to and curl up with a good book.  :)

Hell yes!
Well....when I can.
Usually I'm stuck in a textbook.
I also read online stories.


Of course there's that whole grey area of comic books/manga whether or not it constitutes as reading....it doesn't people.

I use to read a lot but haven't read much the past few years.  I love Karen Kingsbury .... my favorite author.

I love reading books!  I have a bookshelf full of books in my room.  I enjoy reading urban non-fiction, fiction, drama, and some suspense.  If it appears to be a good book I will read it!
