I can beat both of you. I hardly have any time to read at all any more.
I used to read like a fiend.

Is that sad, or is that sad? I need a hug ...

... and a book.

I am reading like crazy because I suddenly have the time to, I have to take a train 45 mins each way 2 days a week now so I read on the train and spend 30mins-1hr reading each night to help me relax - trying to get back into old habits and not be a workaholic.

Here is your hug


and your book

Very seldom do I not finish a book that i start....but i`m picky about the books I pick.
Once I start it though i hate to have to put it down til it is finished. I`ve stayed up for hours at night just to get to the end.

I found a solution to that problem!!, I just go to the library and borrow them that way if I get into the book and it's a snore I can just take it back and I'm not out the money.


But if I do get into chapters..watch out!!, I love that place!

I just decided to read one book, and I can not pick up another until I am finished with that one. I have put all the others away for now!

I still havent read Angels & Demons and I bought it in July.... huff! maybe I should start it tonight... yeah right... I thought after finishing the DaVinci Code in 3 days I would be just as anxious to read this one but I havent had the time or the determination...

I love to rea. My friends think I am a freak though.
I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy in a week and a half =D and am working on the Warriors series by Erin Hunter right now.. its about Clans of wild cats.. its more on the kiddie section.. but its awesome none the less!
I have only the last book of the series to read.. but the library doens't hve it yet.. so i must wait. I read any sort of books, but animal one spark my interest more than others.

Oh, I love to read!
When I go to the library they know me and let me know if I have a book from my waiting list ready before I even ask!....yes, I am a book geek!!

I don't buy many books, but I do give the library a lot of business. I work right across the street from the main branch and am over there on regular basis during my lunch hour. I love to read!

I have the opposite prob also. Although I don't read as much with broadband internet access
. I usually read or re-read 1 or 2 books a week. I've always got something I'm reading. The new Terry Pratchett books I picked up last month only lasted me a couple of days, darn it
. At one point I had over 1,500 titles until I thinned my library waaaaaay down
! Science Fiction and Fantasy fans tend to be more book collectors than readers of other genres.
