how often do you buy books?

I love to read but find I'm on the computer more than I'm reading. I just brought two books that I plan on taking the time to read a little each day. The books I brought are "The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch and The Eleventh Victim by Nancy Grace. Happy reading.

I sell books on line, I sell used books so I have an entire garage full of them. I do enjoy reading, I usually am reading a book, sometimes I only have time to read a couple of pages at a time so sometimes it takes me a couple of months to read a whole book, but I do always have one goin. I also really love audio books so I always have an audio book playing in my car, except when my teenagers are in the car, then they are talking so much I can't hear my book, and they want me to play music, but when I am alone or with my youngest who is quieter than the other two I always have an audio book going.

I also not often to buy books as the books in China are very expensive. if I need to find some books, I usually try to find this books from internet and also to find the books from city library. except that, i will conside to buy them from book store.

I think it always been great that we read books. The computers are also good for many things. The work has been fast on computers and also by internet we can do many things. Th books are always great and they are helpful from our schools. I think we must always say books as great always and we read them always. Thank you.

Dear yolanda19191, Nice to see you after a long time. I am bad reader. I never read books often. But sometimes I too read some spiritual books. Most of the time I spend my time before the computer and if I want to know something I will browse it and take an e-book. Thats it. I really want to have that good habit but most of the time never do it likely. Nice discussion...Keep up the good work... Cheers....

...I don't get the relation between the "smallpoxs" and reading on the computer. Anyhoo, back to the actual topic at hand. I read a lot of books but my mother already has an extensive collection, so I don't find myself buying books all that often. Add to that that they are SO EXPENSIVE! I prefer to go to the library and borrow books to read, and only if they're really really good and I'm likely to read them again, will I head to a bookstore or a second-hand bookstore - more often the latter - and try and find myself a copy. :)

we are same yolanda19191...i spent more time in front of my laptop than reading books..but regarding with reading books, i love to buy books and store to my bookshelf...though i'm not reading them everyday, i try my best to give time to read my books...

Hi yolanda, I love reading, nd do most days. I am reading a very interesting book now about the pearl industry in Brome, Australia. I don't like reading long articles on the Internet.

Have recently bought 4 new books which is unusual for me as I mostly buy second hand. They include the latest Dan Brown and the one about the Queen Mother. However we have a problem we are planning to mmove into a smaller place so we will have to downsize and we have hundreds of books so we ar thinking of having a sort of coffee evening with a book sale in aid of Save the Children which is the charity we support.

I buy books only before the exam so that i can study.I also buy books like automobiles when i am traveling on a long journey.Because the night time in boring i can put the lamp and read the book.I also read notes on the computer as it is easy to get what we want through search engines.I also watch tv or news sometimes when there are interesting stories.

My book buying has slowed down and with good reason. I am too much in debt and we have over 10,700 books at my house. It's hard to find places to store them. I do enjoy reading. My favorite would be fiction, murder mysteries.

When I was in college, I always by a books. But now, I finished my college and it is very often i don't remember when the last time I buy books...I prefer read books than form the Internet. It's so lazy browsing the net, and eyes can be painful if were stay in front of the computer... Glad to meet you again in here, yolanda...have a nice day and take care

I used to be an avid reader but since the computer , dah??? I have started back to reading but only when enroute to somewhere or sitting in a drs. office. Sad ain't it???

i am not often buy books but if i am in the mall just browse books in the books shop and if i like i will the book.

I go to the book everytime I get paid. There have been times when I bought 100 dollars worth of books. Other times I buy one or two. Its like when my stack dwindles I get more.

Hi there Yolanda, I love books since childhood! I was raised with a milk in one hand and a book on the other...so to speak. As time passes by, I learned to love books concerning different issues, e it fiction, non-fiction, et al. I admire authors who can easily weave words and turn it into beautiful stories and catch my interest. And because I love reading so much that I have learned to love writing as well. Computers are here for good - no questions asked. My job compels me to do computer job most of the time - more than 10 hours a day! So though there are ebooks that can be uploaded; I still prefer the old school - hard bound/soft bound books. I am more relaxed embracing my time with my books on my quiet moment as I lay down. With regard to the question as to how often I buy books... hmmm... I sometimes borrow a book written by a paticular author, and if I like the style of that author, then I might consider buying his/her other books and add to my collection. As of this writng, I plan to add LJ Smith's The Vampire Diaries; and Michael Connely's books of Harry Bosch's series. Enjoy reading!

I don't like reading books on the computer, so I read the old fashion way. I enjoy almost any type of genre (except sleaze), but my favorite type is non-fiction, particularly obscure things.

not so often but borrowing them instead. Except for my kids which i have motivated to borrow and buy new books especially those of twilight and harry potters, its okay for me to invest on these hobbies. However,since we have the wonders of internet, too, we can download audio books which are also fun and it help us in our everyday multitasking.

I think that I usually buy books about once or twice a month. My girlfriend and I generally go to a different town and go to used and new book stores. We are getting quite a collection now and it's probably going to take us a while to read all of the books that we actually have.

hi yolanda. nice to meet you.. i have to read lots of book due to my profession. i am a college lecturer so study is the part of my life. i often buy books to upgrade my subject or learnings. on the otherhand, i am a reaserch scholar, so its essential to read more for my ambition. lol..........
