Do you have a passion for reading?

i love to read, in fact i love everything about the reading experience. the anticipation of a new book, the settling down into a comfy position to begin reading, sometimes maybe with a coffee close at hand, sometimes with my headphones on. i love physical books, i love the feel and smell of them. all books smell different, the older ones have a great smell, that smell of aged paper. i love to read so much that i can have 3 or 4 books on the go at the same time and just alternate. hey i figure if you can keep the storyline of a drama or soapie on tv then well reading is pretty much the same. i love to read in bed before i go to sleep, sometimes i have been so engrossed that before i know it it is morning. me and my friend nate used to have reading parties, we read a 32 book star wars series story, what i mean is the whole story spanned 32 books, we would read them one after the other, he would usually be ahead then he would pass the book onto me when he was finished and in between we would discuss. ahhhhhhh good times. my most favored genres are science fiction and horror i will delve into a mystery or two but my first love are the 2 afore-mentioned genres. i love going on a mind trip for hours on end, that is how i feel about books, they take your mind on a journey and exercise the imagination and transport you, well only the really good ones have the power to transport you to another universe or another place. sorry i am gushing now....

I have an interest in reading, from physical books to e-books. The books that i love to read most is general information. Visual basic programming includes too, and about science book. Mostly i read every time i feel i want to read. Bedroom is one of the favorite place, because i prefer to read while laying down. Any place too that i can read while laying down is okay.

Definitely. I like to read both Fiction and Non-Fiction, alternately. Lately, I'm being inclined more towards the spiritual arena and have been reading extensively on the matters of within.

i used to have a passion for reading before i had my son but now i do not have time to sit and read so i rarely do. i used to read novels all the time but now i limit my reading to agazines and even then my time is limited. when he is grown and i am all alone i will need my books to keep me company once again but for now having him is so much more fulfilling.

Me too losing the passion for reading. Used I like sidney sheldon, John Grisham and Tom clancy, I can read the conspiracy book, but cannot watch movie about it. But because books are too expensive, I prefer ebook now, as I can get it easily. But currently I prefer to read about personal development, and writing more about my experiences. But when I'm travelling and while waiting I like teh feeling of having book beside me so that I know that I'm not wasting my time by looking around and day dreaming only.

I never had interest or passion to read, when I was kid I do not used to get time to play :(, after I grew up used to chat with friends online and studies. Now office go home, come and do some online earning and sleep. But I have read one story written By Sidney Sheldon "The memories of Midnight" that was a fantastic story which has romance, thriller, drama everything. I love to read Sidney's creative stories but no time. Once I get familiar with these online earnings will try to spend some time on reading his books.

Hi daliaj, I think we have the same hobbies. I enjoyed reading when I was a little kid, I read most of my father's books secretly because he didn't think those books are suitable to me, but actually I could understood them more or less, when I grow older, I could understood what the books told me gradually, and I grow older and older now, because of internet and movies, I lose interests to books, because everything now is rapid, I don't think I have the leisure and time to read, all I think about is relationship and money. But I still read, for work and sometimes for leisure, e-books. On computer or on telephone. I like detective type, the author that you mentioned, Agatha Christy, I like her too. And I also read detective novels of Chinese and Japanese authors. Thanks for your post, it reminded me of my childhood of reading times.

Yes!I used to read a lot of books in the past.Herrold Robbins,Chase,P.G.Wodehouse,Irwing Wallace are my favorite authors apart from so many Tamil authors like Rajendra Kumar,Rajesh Kumar,Sujatha,La.Sa.Ramamirtham,T.Janakiraman.But now I have time to read some weekly magazines alone.Even though I have a collection of all the authors I have mentioned,I seldom read them now.Cheers!

I am not a regular reader of books and novels. But i love to read travelouges and places of historical importance. Apart from that, i never have the habit of reading novels and other stuffs and I used to admire people who have a passion of reading books, novels and other stuffs. However i used to lot of books that are written about the World wars and mainly about Adolf Hitler and the cause of his downfall. Apart from that I dont read books that regularly and infact I have never read even a single page of J.K.Rowling's Harry Potter. That is my position when it comes to reading books and novels.

Well reading has always been my passion. For me romantic, fiction, horror are my top favorites. I do spend much time with pc and internet but still when i get some book to read its only book and me then. I just keep on reading till my head starts aching LOL. Occasionally i do read e-books but it hurts my eyes a lot so i prefer physical books.

I love reading and can read anything from a kid's storybook to a thriller novel. I had the habit of reading before going to sleep. But with televison soaps gaining popularity my good habit of reading has be replaced by watching tv before going to sleep. But i make it a point to read whenever i get time. As said earlier no favorit as such but can keep reading any type of matter available in my leisure. I also love reading blogs and articles available on net too.

YEs i used to read a lot previously. Now i just glance important new items and am not serious of reading. I prefer to read materials that have some general information and not works of fiction.I prefer newpapers and periodicals to novels. I like general knowledge books a lot. These days am trying to improve my english. thx

I love to read too when I was a child. Until now I still have a pssion to read. read make my imagination live and I can travel to many place in my imagination^^,, it's fun and i like it. i like to read children story when I was child,, now I like to read books about money and business^^,, same with you, I have no time to read because too busy with school task or browsing internet. I don't really like watch tv. I prefer physical books! I like to touch it in my hand and I love the smell of the new book. I can save it as my collection and read it again whenever I want without turn on my laptop..

im not much of a reader... like you, i prefer watching tv and browsing the internet. but whenever i decide to read, i get hooked. i dont usually have a specific genre although i like financial planning and business books... eventually, i get bored and jump to fictions. i dont mind if its ebook or physical books. althouhg ebooks has its advantages. i can read in the office pretending reading some reports... haha! :)

I love to read, and will read anything that is recommended to me. Right now I am reading Utterly Monkey for my bookclub. I'm not impressed, but I will finish because I always finish my books! I love James Patterson. I like Chick Lit as well. I will try anything once. I don't read ebooks. I can't cocentrate when I read on the book.

Thank you so much for your valuable response. Good luck an enjoy mylot!

I share a passion for reading too. This passion started at a young age with my mother reading to me everyday as a baby. Im greatful that reading was valued and encouraged in my family. During my primary school days I was quite shy and unsocial and so I spent almost every lunchtime in the library. So quite quickly I became quite a fast and well read reader. Sadly now im college/university I have less time to read although I still enjoy curling up in bed with a good book every now and then. Most of the books I read are textbooks. I don't know why but I spend more time on the internet and watching movies then reading for leisure. In saying that I prefer a good old fashioned physical book over e books. My favourite types of books are those that span a few different genres. E.g one that could be classified as mystery,drama,romance,action. Two of my favourite genres are historical and dectective. I also love books based on true stories, many of which can be quite inspiring.
