i have many books , but i seldom to read them. when i want to read them , i feel a little lazy about my decision. then i evade it to other time.if i read the some books then i will not very relaxed when i read them . i must go to another status ,but it is difficult to me to convert. i always feel now is the best state. do you have a plan to read books ? is it need you spend a lot of time? i will read no more than twenty pages per day when i read a novel books.

I read a lot of books. I just bought some 8 books but my priority is to finish all the books by Danielle Steel, John Grisham, and James Patherson.

i love to read and i hope to finish some classics by the end of the year. i just read a book called the 501 best writers in history. it is a facinating book and it gave me a bunch of ideas on classics that i wanted to read such as slaughterhouse 5 by kurt vonnegauht.

I can't stop reading. If I go without reading for more than one day, I feel deprived. And no non-fiction or news article will do. I need NOVELS. Fast paced action packed and often fantasy fiction! Within the past two days, I've finished two books. Which is great for me, I'm a pretty fast reader but I rarely finish two books before the week is up, but now I've got nothing to read. I hope to read 75 to 100 books this year.

I aim to read at least 2 books a week, but sometimes I can finish a book in a day, if it's just light reading. That said, I think reading is something that you should do when the mood takes you, not because you feel you should. Only a student has to complete a set reading pattern. For the rest of us, I'd say go where and when your imagination takes you, and try to read more than one genre, otherwise you can get jaded and this will put you off reading. I like family sagas, historical fiction, crime thrillers, classics - anything with a good story, in fact. Reading broadens the mind, so go out there and get broader, guys!

I don't always have plans for reading a book.But I can finish a book in a day if I really like it.I regard interest a very important part for reading.And you won't feel tired.So just force yourself to some books, then you'll finf it funny and read it through.

Hi, I don't like to read books and sometimes I hardly read one book in a year. I only read when it is a textbook that is related to studies. I do read some book on investments sometimes. I do most of the readings on website when I am free. However, reading is indeed a good hobby.

I would like to read as many books as I possibly can and then some. Books provide you with a lot of great knowledge and it's one of the best activities there is for passing time. I love to read books and I wish I had more time or dedicated more of time towards reading.

I am a certified bookworm. I am able to finish a 300+-page novel in just one day. Sometimes, I get so engrossed in reading that I don't notice it is already time to eat. When I go to mall, I always go to bookstores. I usually buy at least one book in bookstores, like chick lit or romance novels. Books are my prized collection. In fact, I have hundreds of books at home and I really need to add another bookshelf already. Currently, I have around 30+ novels that I haven't read yet because of work. Even if I have a lot of unread novels at home, I still cannot stop buying novels at bookstores.

I believe that we should read classical books.Because in the classics books pays us great attention to a person's thought and the human's thought.From the classics books,you may have very deep understanding to the author's thougt.And, we can learn from them, who are the outstanding writer.As for me,i like to read some books that i am interested in.For example, the book in healthy.And now, i plan to read 60 books this year.

I'll always buy a lot of books, and I think I will read them, but when the books on my desk, I just read a few pages, then forget them, so all my books look really new, because I seldom read them, if I read a novel book, I will read only a few pages one time, I do a plan to read books, but the plan never get true, I know this is not good.

Reading is one of my favorite things to do. If I got interested with a certain novel, give me one week and I am done with that 500 pages pocket book. However, there are books that I don't like to continue reading because of boredom. Right now, I am obliged to read my law books in preparation with the bar exam. I need to finish 10 more books with almost a thousand pages each before the month of September comes. Please help me in praying I can finish them on time.

Hi fwangaa, I honestly love reading. I personally end up reading several hours a week. By the end of the year I have probably ended up reading a total of about 20 books. I have three authors a I love to read very much one is suspense and thriller, another is a comical drama, sometimes as much as I love reading I don't always get the time that I would like to read but it all works out its very relaxing for me.

I love reading.Sometimes I'm able to read whole book in one day.But it has to be good one. I love John Grisham. He's got this extraordinary passion for writing. My favorite book is "The Testament". When I read it I feel like I'm part of the action. I know a book is good when I'm able to play the roles of main characters. I imagine everything that happens that's why I never read horrors. I'm too scared.

Well.. I've stopped reading books for a while now. I don't think I would read a book again unless I was horribly bored or there was some amazing series that I liked.. the internet for the most part has replaced my reading.
