Hey Eoff, do you read?!?

[Nice]

I know a lot of people that read and then, I also know a lot who don't and never will. Once when I was walking in a bookstore with a friend, we parted ways and he said, "There isn't anything in there for me." and left. >.>

Anyway, do you read books (reading for school assignments doesn't count). If so, what do you read?

I'll start.

I usually read, well anything, Shakespeare, Hunter S. Thompson, Bram Stoker and The Harry Potter thingys just to name a few.

[Jessweeee♪]

I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them Sam I Am.

Considering the English degree takes a lot of time, its hard to read books off assignment (Books read for that include Woolf's "To The Lighthouse", Fritzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" and Lawrence's "Women in Love"). I usually read for leisure in the summer, but I'm currently reading Douglas Coupland's "Girlfriend in a Coma".

I usually spend more time reading Poetry, most recently Kei Miller's "There is an Anger that moves", and at the moment Sophie Hannah's "Hotels like Houses"

Reading is one of my favorite things to do. Part of the reason why I'm becoming an English teacher.

I read a lot of different things. Lately, it's been British Lit, for my British Lit class. But since that doesn't count, I'll list some of my favorite books.

Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov
Norwegian Wood - Haruki Murakami
The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand
The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini
Running With Scissors - Augusten Burroughs
World War Z - Max Brooks
Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden
Battle Royale - Koushun Takami
To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - Betty Smith
Joy Luck Club - Amy Tan
Harry Potter Series - JK Rowling
Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkein

Right now, I'm in the process of reading

Arcadia - Tom Stoppard
Pnin - Vladimir Nabokov
Hurry Down Sunshine - Michael Greenberg
Les Miserable - Victor Hugo

I started reading in self-defense when I stopped taking english classes

I've got a few books started right now; Hyperion Cantos (soooooooooo good), Twilight(lol?), and some Andre Norton books.

As for books I like, I've started compiling a list on my site: Snowy-day: Joie de Vivre

It's funny you should say that, because I too am studying to become an English Teacher. =/ My main thing is writing though and I hope to combine teaching and writing to make a career out of them both.

[Psychotic]

I like to read James Bond books.

[Momiji]

I don't read enough, but I like to. It's just hard to set aside the time to do so.

However, my current favorite book is 1984. I have a list of books to read from people who suggest them to me, so this is subject to change when I finally get around to reading them.

[BardTard]

I don't have the attention span to read. Reading also makes me sleepy.

And that is why I almost failed high school.

[Boney King]

I am reading Melville's Moby-Dick right now.

My favourite books include The Aeneid, Requiem for a Dream, Trainspotting, Haunted, and Maus.

I've only recently taken a real interest in reading, so I can't say I have any favourite authors. But I like Hubert Selby, Jr.'s style.

[Rantz]

I usually read a lot, but lately I've been out of it. It saddens me.

[scrumpleberry]

I adore reading, but it seems to have gotten shuffled out of my life somehow. I only read about once a week now. Disgraceful.

[Ryth]

Reading is fun stuff, but I rarely have time for it ever due to school. Luckily, I'm being assigned books I actually want to read... so it isn't too awful. Like, my last English project involved me reading Catch-22 (which is now one of my favorite books). My top three favorite books would be Orwell's 1984, Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, and Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra (which I'm reading right now).

My other favorites would be things like Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque. I also really liked Animal Farm, The Metamorphosis, Les Misérables, and The Hobbit.

[escobert]

I used to read a lot at work but don't really find the time at home. I'm slowly reading the Hobbit atm. I mainly read Fantasy books but not always.
