I'm glad to see that we have so many avid readers here at the forums.

No. Reading is just as bad if not worse than television.
I like Kung-Fu.
I read.
I'm studying literature at uni, and they force me to read.
I just finished Jean Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea, the sequel to Jane Eyre, kind of, and it impressed me.
I also enjoy Diana Gabaldon's Jamie and Claire books.

I enjoy reading books that interest me, which are mostly fantasy, science fiction, anything with something abnormal going on. I'll read anything. The longest book i've ever read was over 1000 pages and it was SO interesting. I finished it in about a week

Reading is just about the best thing you can do with your free time. Yes, I read a lot.
I'm one of the few "young peoples" nowadays you read I've read all the Harry Potter books, The Hobbit, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Magician"s Nephew, The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe, Horse & His Boy, and I just finished Prince Caspian, and I'm now reading Merceds Lackey's Joust, also I read the Manga novels like Rave Master, Dragon Knights, Seargent Frog, and Naruto (I read others of course). I also plan on reading Dracula when I'm a little older and I'm going to start the Fellowship. So yes I love to read and oh I plan on reading the Godfather book(s) one day as well. I als olike reading the stuff here on Eoff and in magazines and I read this great book in English class called "Belle Prater's Boy" I really enjoyed the book the ending is sadly a little disappointingbut everything else was great!
I don't read a lot at the moment, cause of work and finals. The last thing I really got into was a book of short stories by Sherman Alexie. Sherman Alexie am win.
Signature by rubah. I think.
No, doing something constructive is the best thing to do with your free time. Reading just takes atleast a tad of insight/imagination and thought, and literacy, unlike television.Originally Posted by Raistlin
Other than that it's about the same. I don't buy that reading is this "great thing" but tv is horrible.
I like Kung-Fu.
I read quite a bit. My faverite kind to read is fantasy books. they are so awesome. but if i don't find a book insteresting i can't read it. it drives me crazy to read a book i don't like.
I read. Books. Programming Perl is a good read. I'm going to start reading Sword of Truth again so I'm ready when the next book comes out early next year.
reading triggers your imagination and stimulates your verbal abilities, whereas tv gives you canned images and does not encourage imagination or verbal ability. Still, exercising is probably better for you than reading. Both together are necessary to be complete.
Right now I'm reading <i>Gravity's Rainbow</i> by Thomas Pynchon, which is really damn good. And long.
And long.
I'm reading <i>Fathers and Sons</i> by Ivan Turgenev.
long is an understatement.
