recently i don't read any books, except some Korean-learning textbooks. i wonder what you read for. it is for the intreseting things you can get from the book or for the sake of the new knowledge? or something else.
these days i found myself like history very much. i plan to get some books on it. or just some autobiography of some celebrity.
what books are you reading these days? if you are not reading, what books are you going to read?

I have just started reading again after a very long time, years and years it seems. I am more into novels. Right now, I like reading the works of Paulo Coelho. I bought three books of his writing. This author has the tendency to inspire many of his readers, including me.

Generally I read classical books and I don't read simple books because I love to read something that I can remember for my studies at the university. I love to read novels and poems.

I have loved reading since I was a small child. I like the way books transport me into another world. Reading relaxes me, and stimulates my mind. I am also a writer, so reading shows me the way other writers use writing techniques successfully. Right now I am reading the Harry Potter series. My favorite books are historical fiction novels mostly with a bit of horror/suspense thrown in occasionally.

I mainly read for relaxation and pleasure. I am currently reading Cradle and All by James Patterson. I also read the newspaper and magazines. I prefer fiction books.

I read to take a break from all the visual interpretations of everything. Reading allows me to set the scene, and everythign else going on, which i find quite relaxing. I have recently started reading some of the matthew reily books, which i would highly reccomend for anyone who really loves to set the image in their mind.

Oh you are learning Korean? My friend is learning that as well. I understand how it's like to learn a new language, you have to really put a lot of time and effort into it. Currently, I am not reading any books, except some beauty magazines. But I have to go to the library next week to borrow some books related to Hong Kong history. I am starting a whole blog about travel and I would start with Hong Kong first, therefore, I have to be really prepared for it. *smiles* Good luck with your learning Korean.

I read for pleasure, it takes me away from the situations of the day and relax me.
