no, i don't read a lot of books nowadays. what i love to do is to read and write on myLot. i work in a legal office and if it needs me to research something, i just to the internet and search. though there are lots of law books in the office, searching the internet makes my work faster.

I do read a lot. Almost every day. Most of the time the books are non-fiction books, biographies, and the like, although I also love books from the Beats, and science fiction and fantasy novels. I love books!

I do read alot, but only newspapers or magazines.. lol =D I have never ever loved reading books.. I think it's gotta be one of my phobias when i'm a kid..
My mom often encourages me to read alot, and there was once, she brought me this books, 'Little women'.. lol =D I was only 10 years old then, and how am i gonna understand the whole story which is so complicated right?? lol =D
As such, i just rush thru it, and since then, i really hated reading.. haha =D

hi carrine!
i am not a book lover and book reader as well but there times that when i see books in a bookstore that catches my attention, i intend to read the back of the said book and when i find it interesting i buy and read it. how i wish i am a book lover so that my vocabulary will widen more as it may help me with my writing skills because it is one frustration of mine.
fave books?
i loved reading confessions of a shopaholic and the lost symbol by dan brown.
happy mylotting!

as a lawyer, of course, books that I love to read are books related to the law. For things that are light and information, I prefer to read from the internet

I used to read a lot when I was in a college. but I don't anymore. . whereas I really enjoy reading all kinds of material. I like reading novel (I think John Grisham is the best writer), magazines, newspapers or even comics. LOL. why I seldom read today cos I have got married today. so I have limited time to read due to my busy activities in taking care of my husband and daughter. I want to start reading again someday. I hope.

I'm in college and do a lot of reading for my major, so I don't often feel like reading for fun. I make time for recreational reading while I'm at the gym. I'll just use and stationary bike and read a few chapters. I tend to like reading either fiction or about politics or history.
When I was a kid a read all the time. I would read at lunch, at recess, after I finished class work, on the bus, whenever. In middle school I waws a library aide and able to check out books all the time. I had a large stack next to my bed and I'd read for an hour or two before falling asleep.

I used to love reading. And I liked reading suspense thrillers. But, recently, I find that I have no time to just read. The only times I get to read are on plane rides. But since the carrier I frequent have movies available, I resort to watching instead.
But, I do love it. If I find time.

As far as I am concerned, I think I usually read a lot in my daily life.For me, I love reading so much,which gives me a lot of fun in my daily life. If the day I have not read yet, I thnk the day is so boring. I will be sad to see this happen.For me the favorite book is the book called chicken soup for the soul,which is really a nice book.

Yes, I read pretty much every single day. Oh boy do I ever read. In fact, I think I have pretty much read something every single day since the moment I have learned to read. It is a passion of mine to have a book in my hand at least once throughout the day. It might only be the hour before I go to bed at night, but it is something and it allows me peace of mind.
Boy, I could really make a list of things I enjoy reading. Just some of my favorites are historical, both fiction and non fiction. I also enjoy reading comic books as well. Science fiction and mysteries are fun to read as well. Fantasy is something that I dabble in. However, most of all, if the book is good, then I will be inclined to read it.

I love to read, but like you my moods change,there are times when I can't put a book down and then i'll go weeks without picking one up..I love to read various books, I homeschool so I read alot on that, I also love to sew and bake so cookbooks are on the top, I have a very large selection of them also...I started reading to my girls when they all were young and they have continued to love reading, my youngest one has quiet the library all on her own, well over 300 books. I love to read karen kingsbury, v.c. andrews, sandra brown,then my daughter got me into the twilight series, and the vampire diaries,So my reading varies alot but I do love it...you are never to old to learn , and you never know what'll you will learn until you open the cover..

as both manager and engineer in my profession, it's a must for us to read a lot. especially those engineering manuals and drawings. setting aside work related readings, i often enjoy reading stuff (not necessarily books, maybe articles and the likes) that could help me live better. i'm also a fun loving person, so aside from those that make my life easier, i also read stuff that would make me happy (so as to remove stress).

I used to read a lot, and I liked to read all kinds of different books. These days, I do more reading of young children's books and reading discussions and responses on here than anything else. I do miss the days of picking up a good book and being able to finish it in a day or two, but I will regain those days eventually when my little one gets a bit older. For now, I am enjoying the time I am spending reading the young children's books, because those days go by all too quickly.
