Are there any Die Hard Readers on Mylot ?

I'm a die hard reader in that I start a new book as soon as I finish one. But I don't read very fast though. I'd love to discuss books with you. Don't know if what I read is what you're into or not. I read history and pretty much anything else that is educational. I also read an occasional novel.

yeah!!! meeeeeeee! I would love to talk to u abt them too :D :DD happy lotting and have a nice day

I love to read. In fact, I read all the time. My current addiction is Paranormal Romance or PNR novels. However, I have long abandoned mylot as the place to discuss books. Maybe because not that many either shares my love of reading or interests in the same books that I like. To get my share of book discussions, I hangout at goodreads.com, where I find fellow readers who share the same passion as I do. I'm virtually addicted to that site, because if I'm not reading, I'm usually on there, just talking about books.

Who has time to read? I read the closed caption on my tv, does that count? So, what good literati have you read, magazines stories about a pregnant (wo)man do not count.

I'm a die hard reader but I've noticed the same thing as well. I suppose that it might be because reading interests are so diverse. I love to read mystery novels but got hooked on the books of Luanne Rice a few years ago. She writes relationship novels. My appreciation of her work taught me that sometimes it's good to branch out. You never know when you'll find a new genre or a new author to appreciate. The only successful book club that I've seen on line is on Eons.

I've noticed that as well. I've answered a few on Pride & Prejudice but it ended after that. There seems to be no real in-depth discussions that you might find in a book club that met in person. I've tried to do group reads online but I've never had much luck with them. Someone always ends up complaining about how they have no time. What have you read recently? I just mentioned the current books I'm reading The Calling, Dematerializing, and Tainted Truth. However, I've read a lot lol.

I read constantly, from a wide range of subjects. I haven't tried to start any discussions about books, so I can't confirm your observations.

I have noticed the same thing, as well, which I find a bit of a shame, because I love discussing books with people. My fiance and I are taking a Jane Austen course, and we were having this debate on characters in the book, I believe. I would certainly enjoy having more discussions about novels and such, here on mylot.

True.Though there are posts asking for book recommendations, I don't see much of them (books) being discussed here. One DC Merkle here on myLot had shown interest and wanted to make a book discussion group and it turned out that we were the only two of us.DCM had suggested Reading and discussing [B]The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama[/B]. Then since there was no "crowd"[three is crowd!!]- even after making a beginning through Email exchanges, I must say it didn't pick up much. Well, as for my current reading, I am reading [B] Blink by Malcolm Gladwell [/B]- the non-fiction book is interesting in that it deals with a scientific study of the snap judgments/decisions we make, how this will make or mar the results. I picked this book up in a composite offer[there are three other books] from a book-selling website in India in a promotional offer. I had previously read a book on Intuition. I like this subject of intuition, so this book goes well with my personal convictions. The other two books I recently completed reading were [B] Gandhi & Churchill by Arthur Herman [/B]: My love of History. [B]Mystery of Karma by V.K.Saraf [/B]: I like this unifying concept of Karma, that underlies Hindu (also Buddhist/Jain and Sikh Philosophy) I do not read much Fiction unless it is strongly recommended by someone. On the fiction side I have read Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code(eBook) and Angels and Demons.(Paperback)

I think it truly depends on the people that read...I have started a few discussions regarding reading and they didnt go very far either, since the ones that responded didnt read the books I read...LOL I havent had the time to read as much, but as I get settled in more with my online sites, summer is coming, I have a yard sale I am getting ready for and a son in school (his schedule has thrown me off a bit..LOL) I am hoping to get back to reading more in the summer time. I read paranormal romance, and historical romance, and some contemporary... what do you read?

I bet most readers are not online but reading their books. But to entertain your thoughts, I have read a book called Saint by Tedd Dekker. Its one out of a series of books with Sinner, Choas and the circle trilogy. Its a christian based fiction but I can hardly tell. The story telling is amazing and its a really suspenseful book.
