Are you an avid reader?
« on: May 04, 2013, 09:03:31 am »
Do you like to read?  How many books do you read per week.  I average between 3 to 5 per week.

I read about 3 to 5 books a year. I read a 400 page book in 2 days once and I read a book in a week lots of times. You most read all the time. :thumbsup:

No, not so much but I read the USA Today paper and do a fair amount of reading online.  I read a lot of stuff on wikipedia online.

I have been in love with reading all my life.  I can't go a day without reading.  It keeps the mind flexible.

 Your a good reader! I used to read romance novel, but I don't any more. I should start reading again, but all of my time goes on doing surveys for extra money.  :)

Yes.  A number of years ago, I realized that I hard time choosing which books I wanted to read first.  So I will typically read 2 - 4 books in tandem.  Read one for a while, pick up another.  They are usually related in theme or idea.  

I am not currently reading any books, at present.  I have been focusing on academic papers.

Yes enjoy reading I have a house full of books thanks to my husband. Think if I were young and starting out with reading i'd go for the kindle or something like it. You can get free books on the kindle I believe.

I love to read. Would ather read then watch tv. Really like being on the computer, just cannot stay at it for long times because of my back. So am on it off and on all day when not busy doing other things. Like house cleaning, laundry and all that good stuff. Also love painting on my gourds for the craft shows.

Me, too.  I have been reading far too much non-fiction.  I think my brain needs a rest. 

Might finish re-reading Still Life with Woodpecker with my husband.  I highly recommend this one.  It is funny, witty, and charming.  It is about cigarettes, red hair, and how to make love stay.  ;)

I'm much the same as the OP. I can read very fast and could polish off a book a day if need be. I'm reading much less now that I used too and must get back to it.

Must reads for everyone: Dark Tower Series, Dragonlance Series, Forgotten Realms.

I have loved to read as long as I can remember.  I read a mixture of history, historical novels, the Bible, best sellers, old favorites, biographies, and I have my favorite authors that I read mostly.  I was a rather lonely child because we lived in the country and I had no close friends.  I felt I could live another life in a book.  My daughter is an avid reader who now reads more than I do, and my grandson loves to have books read to him.  He is learning to read and write and math before kindergarten.
