I love to read. Now that I have a kindle I can carry my books with me with no problem. Wonderful investment.

I absolutely LOVE to read! I read for self empowerment (lately I've been reading Iyanla Vanzant and after I finish her books I'm going to get into Joel Osteen), self education (Robert Kiyosaki, Napoleon Hill, etc.), to set a good example for my kids, and enjoyment (right now I'm reading Street Divas lol).  I want a special reading area for my home, whether it be a comfortable reading chair, a hammock, or whatever, I just like to light some candles, slice some fruit, and enjoy me a good book.

            :D:heart: to read....reading takes you to other places...where you can actually picture the surroundings in your mind...It can make you wish that you were -& it can make you want to go to wherever it is that u r reading about...It all depends on the story.
    I think that's awesome... :peace: :peace: :peace: :peace:

I love to read.  My father was an great reader and rarely watched TV.  As I began to read, he never cared what I read as long as I read.  I grew up on comic books then graduated to novels, remember Nancy Drew?  Now I probably read 2 to 3 books a month.

I used to be a much more avid reader than I am now.
I strive for 30-40 books a year, but lately that hasn't been happening.

Reading is one of my all-time favorite things to do!  Generally, I read 1-2 books a week.  I still prefer the "old fashioned" books but am slowly transitioning over to e-books and listening to them.  But I so love to read that I read all the time!  Cereal boxes, magazines, the Internet.  A lot on the Internet.  When I was younger, I would take books into the shower with me so that I could continue reading them while I showered.  Pretty crazy.

I have loved reading since I was a young child.  Now my reading is because I am working towards my Bachelor's degree in Accounting and the minor in Information Systems.  I love reading the Bible as well. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Not really in comparison to what you do apparently.  I generally read a few books a year though that's cause I can't find things that interest me.  I've taken to reading text books so I can learn more for my future career.  Not exactly the same as reading a classic.

No I don't read for fun and try to read as little as possible. Especially with more and more stuff having to be read online. I dislike videos for the same reason now, a few were cute, but now omg! Any e-mail I get that says watch this video goes into the trash.
I was lying in bed the other night, looking up at the stars, and thinking, "Where in the heck is my roof?"

I love reading mysteries and most times I can read a book overnight if it is really good.  I read as many books as I can get my hands on.

I love to read. I read daily for my own enjoyment and also to my children. I've had a love for books since I was a very young child.

Yep, me too.  My second home seems to be the library.  It's our standard joke in the house here, because our local library allows up to 50 items checked out at a time on your library card and I am usually maxed out.  Each morning my boyfriend asks me, okay, okay, how many of those are due back today?  I actually keep track by their website, because I can't.

I tend to favor good mysteries and Christian fiction.
