Does anyone still read actual books?

Reading actual books is generally too difficult for me. But some books aren't available on audio so I have to read them in paperback. I usually always have one paperback I'm reading, but it will usually take me at least 6 months to finish it. And with audiobooks I read at least one per week. I also read some books that have been scanned in and can be read to me by the computer.

I love to read. There is nothing like curling on the couch in the winter and in the summer laying on a blanket at the beach or at a park. I read evey day. My problem is I keep buying books that I may never get around to reading plus I check out books from the Library. I went back to school now that my kids are in high school so now I'm unable to read two and three books a week. Happy Reading.

Yes...yes..yes..LOL. You are not alone. I'm a reader myself. I must have a book with me all the time. I love to read, and I'm addicted to fiction, currently into PNR books. Although I do read e-books and listen to audiobooks, I still prefer to hold a book in my hand. Libraries and bookstores are my favorite browsing places, and if I have money to spare, it is usually spend on books. So, yes, the art of reading is not abandoned. If you like to hang out with fellow readers, you might like to check out goodreads.com. There you can keep track of books you have read, currently reading and your TBR list.

I read two to three books a week. I thought about getting like a kindle to read books on and i just can't do it. To me it wouldn't be the same. I like holding the book in my hands and being able to turn the pages.

hi rebecca! wow, you havent been on mylot for a while. Glad you're back now :) Yes, i do still like to read 'real' book. I love smelling the paper, especially the old books. Feels like they're trying to say that since they've been around probably even before i existed, they have lots to tell me. Yes, i'm a bookworm to the core i think lol. what i like about the real book is that we can read it whatever pose we're making lol. I mean, there are only certain position you can make when you read e-book. And from facing the computer all day at the work place, a real book's pages is kinda my relief too :) glad to hear from you again, rebecca!

How strange to think youre the only one who reads. Not only do schools (in the US at least ) require it but its a favorite past time for many. Unfortunately i dont have as much time to read anymore as Id like but I always keep a few good books in the bathroom for my "personal time". I still read 2-3 a week that way.

I could never give up reading actual books. I love the feel of a book in my hands, I love turning the pages, and even hearing pages turn. Hardback, paper back, I love books! I'll be a hard one to win over to the ebook bandwagon.

Life without books would be torture! I can't carry the computer with me wherever I go so I can read comfortably in teh doctor's waiting room, or over lunch out on the patio, etc. Books are wondrous things, and they will never become extinct. Maybe the junk will go away.

My fiance and I read books.. Right now we are searching for a certain book in a certain set, and we found one but haven't ordered it yet. The thing is, it doesn't have a picture, but even a picture can be a fool... We tried to get one before, or actually twice before but it wasn't the right book. We ended up going to a different county to get disappointed... In any case, so yes, we do still read books..

Yup RebeccaLynn, I still read actual, physical books. They are so much easier to hold, whether I'm lazing on the sofa or reading in bed; I can't very well go to sleep with an ebook on my laptop.

I remember I used to read a lot more in the past then I do right now. I think a lot of people have stopped reading as much including me because of the Internet and everything you can find on it. But now I will try to read more.

Yes, I would like reading the love book much

I still read actual books. I think the internet has made things a lot easier for people who want to read but there is still that really pronounced sense of accomplishment everytime you finish a book. I even collect books -if my budget allows. lol
