reading is fun, although sometimes reading just feels like a surrogate for doing.

Reading can be extremely fun, or extremely boring.

It's usually the latter for me.

eh... I guess reading is okay, as long as you're not forced to read out of some social studies book or god knows what other books the school will shove at you...
I like to read books if i pick them out! XD

Reading is fun! Unless the book tries to eat you.

I like to read, but I am very picky, so it needs to be good to keep my attention or I won't read...Also when it becomes compulsory I tend to avoid doing it....

I find that books seem tiresome these days. The internet must be making me adhd or something xD

well, I can't concentrate on long paragraphs reading from a monitor either.

You haven't read until you've experienced Dostoevsky.

...i like to read short books and i always visit the nearest library (also the largest) in my state to check them out. i hate big, thick books. subjects i like: supernatural, children's books (the good ol' days), fairy tales/adventure, folklore, etc. i've finished few novels, and i never would've read them if they weren't part of class requirements...

I love reading.

Anyone here who is really into FF would definately like David Eddings' The Belgariad and the The Mallorean series. The Belgariad starts with Pawn of Prophecy. They're very good. David Gemmell is also very good, as is Hugh Cook.

If you fancy a good laugh, read some Terry Pratchet from the Discworld series like Mort or Pyramids.

:D

I really enjoy it if I can find a good book but most of them are very boring for me. Also I like to feel Im improving myself through everything I do so when I pick a book its usually a book on teaching something (Astrology is the most recent uptake) and those sortve books can get boring fast with no story to drive you through them.

I'll consider anything with pictures though:)

I just couldn't get into tBK, but it might be the translation, but I'm not sure.

I hate reading. I really wish that I found it enjoyable, since there is so much grat stuff to read, but there is something about the act of reading that I don't like.


This is why I seldom reply to threads with topics that are really long.

Reading is great, it's interesting, its time consuming and it makes you smarter (its true, there are thousands of research things out there that state that!) but I'm a pretty slow reader, so it takes me a while to get through a fairly long book...
It took me about a year and a half to read "Wild Swans" (Which is an amazing book and I highly reccomend you all read it, I could write a 2000 word essay on chinese communism after i finished reading that book)

Reading is my life. Freshman-Sophomore year I read practically a book a day, or a book every 2 days, my teachers recommended me books to read because they knew I enjoyed it so much. Junior year I kind of lost my library card so I stopped reading, plus, it was a hard year, but I got a few novels in. This year though, I'm going back to reading a book a day, except for Harry Potter, those are too long to read in a day. >.> But yeah, I've always enjoyed writing and reading, though I'm too shy to show any of my stories. :) Maybe someday.
