Do you like to read books for fun or knowledge? Do you even like to read?

I read a lot, horror, fiction, mystery, histroy, romance, crime, etc. but i prefer to read about history, past kings and their kingdoms, their kind of politics, where and what led to previous wars, etc. I read for both knowledge & fun and it has really helped me to know about the world and what happened before now.

My attitude towards books is quite similar to yours. I have a very psychology-tilted, and from almost all the books I read, I tend to pick up human-behaviour related lessons. I typically read for leisure or for learning. When I read for leisure, I like to read murder mysteries or clean romantic books (very rare to find, LOL) Other times, I read psychological books, and alternative therapy healing books.

I mostly read for entertainment. I do enjoy history or science books, but as my reading time has gone down so much, I find I read less in those subjects. I am getting to where I if I don't like a book I'll stop & let it go.

Generally for more knowledge, but only because I find that, um, FUN! hehe. I used to read a LOT, but ever since joining mylot, sigh, I can not seem to find the time. I really need to kick my mylot habit. at least curb it somewhat.

Reading books is time pass for me, mystery and horror i like them. Some time i like fiction books but i never read them and finish at a strech.

Definitely, I love to read almost anything from books to magazines, to newspapers, reference materials, and discussions from mylot. I love the books written by Sheldon, Steele, etc., and I read not only to gain knowledge but more so to enjoy and relax. Reading for me is a form of relaxation, and stimulates the brain, too. So whenever I have the chance to, I grab the latest newspaper or magazine. But for long periods of reading, a good novel will keep me glued to the book for a long time.

Yes I prefer to read books that are knowledgable to learn about things that I do not know about they are really interesting and I find that I have learnt a lot by reading them. I read about how to deal with the law, health books, gardening and house hold books to make it easier to live.

I love reading, and have a large collection of books. These days, however, I prefer to read my fiction books, fantasy and sci-fi. I have often felt that while these books may be fictional, there is always an element within that makes me think that the contents of these books *could* one day become fact

I'm a voracious reader, and I read anything from educational books to novels to journals. As to preference, I enjoy reading mystery/detective, suspense, and horror novels (just like you, my friend)! I can't do away with reading informative and educational books because I'm a teacher and I would always want to know what's new. I'm always hungry for information. Happy reading, and happy myLotting!

Reading has always been a part of my life and I'm an extensive reader for many years. I always hop in to my favorite bookshop to grab two or three books at the same time. If the book interest me so much, I can finish the whole novel in one day. Like you, I like to read mystery, horror, sci-fi as well as medical books. Self-help books like improving your station in life is also a favorite of mine. I don't like the romance type of story though. The thing is, the more you read, the more it will sharpened your mind. You also get to learn new English words and to exercise your imagination well.

I read a lot too. I love to read self help books, inspirational books and magazines. I love reading OG MANDINO's books. They are very helpful.

I'm a big reader. I've been that way since I was little.It could be because I was read to alot when I was young.If its a good story I will read just about anything EXCEPT for westerns.I just can't get into them. The stories hold no appeal to me. Most of my books come recommended from friends and family.They give me the basics of the story and tell me to give it a try and other than going to the library I read alot of books that I borrow from them.Have you heard the saying that ....the book was better than the movie? Well,that's usually true.For example...The Davinci Code, I don't read alot of intrigue murder mystery books, but I couldn't put this one down.With reading you use your own imagination and you visualize what the characters look like in your own mind.Other than books, I read the weekly newspaper, and I will flip through the occasional magazine.To answer your question on how often do I read..well everyday..we all do, but if you are referring to sitting down with a book then I would have to say at least 4 days a week for various amounts of time.

yes i like to read for fun and to learn things.its fun sitting and listening to music while reading

Generally I read books for more knowledge, such as some books to improve my skills or something. Sometimes I feel I need read some books to make myself have a quiet mind, to appeciate the world around me more. Here I'd like to recommend a book to you, A House On Mango Street, which I finished a month ago. It is an excellent book.

I love too read a senseless mystery. I dont read too learn I read to be creaped out. I love a good old scarey creepy demented book. Some think I have issues cause I get a kick out of reading true crime books. But I promise im not a psyco or anything just a little weird I guess.

I love reading books since i was a kid.They never didn't need they *push* me for I read any book.Still now at 37 age of mine I read books but so much as I want,the free time I have is so little. Anyway reading help with many way and the more important *open* the mind of the people and add many information.Now I try learn my son loves books and as I see he start reading and asking for new books.

I like to read books that I find interests like science fictions, historical stories and detectives etc. I also like to read books which will provide information or knowledge of various fields, for example books on gardening, health care, stock market, tourism and so on.

I used to read a whole lot. Especially fiction and inspirational. Now days I don't read as much because of time and comfort. But I do think I read more on average than someone else my age. When I pick up a book it is usually historical, Christian, autobiography, biography, true crime, and all that jazz.

Hello.LordGregoroftheSith,honestly, I do not have much interest in reading,I have never finished a book,I may have flipped it over and chuck it away.lol.But I still can get some knowledge from the books,I will read something I like and skip the part which I have no interest in.

I like to read book for both. Knowledge is needed for me to understand many things, to give your brain a little information. I read book for fun, to give me a little break after exhausted day. After reading, you will felt a little bit more relaxed.
