Oh yes, I do!

Especially regarding the current cutting edge technology of alternative health.

There is so much cool tech out right now.  Like cartilage regenerating by stem cells taken from a person's own blood marrow and/or adipose tissue.

I do enjoy reading, but I really loved it when I was younger and did it all the time then. As a child I couldn't get enough of children's books like the ones by Beverly Clearly (About Ramona, Beezus, Henry for example) and ones by Judy Blume. I also read magazines like Highlights and 321 contact.

Now that I'm older I prefer audiobooks so that I can do other things while I listen to the book.

I love reading, however I don't do it all that often.  I have a hard time finding books that interest me and make me want to read them.  I normally try to find a series so I have something to read for a while but that only works so much.  One of the issues that I hit is people who can't differentiate between the genres.  I had friends tell me that Twilight was an action book when I would call it more of a romance book with actiony sections.  After hitting things like that, it makes it difficult for me to take recommendations from others seriously.

My other issue is that I didn't have time before hand.  I would only read during the summer or possible when trying to fall asleep so reading wasn't a big past time for me.  Now that I don't have school telling me to read X pages and be ready for a test, I'm more willing to read books that are more teaching orientated cause I know I don't have to worry about remembering all the content.

I love to read. I was raised by my mother and my grandmother, both were avid readers. I've loved books since I was a child, and I read as much as I can. I read to my kids starting when they were babies and they both read a lot too.

I enjoy reading up on useful things such as dyi help, news, and anything informative i can use.  I can't say I use to like reading though.

I have to admit I don't read as much as I use to since I have had my laptop...but when i do pick up a book it is hard for me to take my attention away from it. I am a big James Patterson fan, especially his Women's Murder Mystery Club series. They a page turners. I can't put them down once I start.

i love to read,  but like most people really dont have the time until late in the evening to sit down with a book, to me reading opens up the mind letting our ima
gination go wild and helps to relax and get a good night sleep, i love mysteries and thrillers

I love to read, it's probably my favorite thing to do but I find it difficult to put down a good book so things sometimes get neglected.
