How wonderful it is to read the new and old interesting and yet to romantic books of yesteryears. I just love to read them all. What are those of the most famous or favourite books youve been reading all around, the interesting ones which always carried you in your livid imaginations, fancies and beyond. Are there any on your mind to absovle you completely?

I love reading books. Usually fictional and classic books. Every book I read takes my imagination away and when I finished reading there is this feeling of wanting more or wanting to be in the situation where the actual characters were. I like to dream and I like to imagine things and if given a chance I would want to experience the adventure within those books. I cannot say a particular title because all books that I have read are just to good and they are all my favorites.
I hope the notifications would start working normally again. I found your discussion in Todays Top and I have never been notified that you made this

You choose to read a book which was written way back in 19th century, The name of Rose, you know its written by a very famous and popular author who began to write out of nothingness, the great Umberto Eco, his first novel The name of rose, sold the world over million of copies, however when the first print of the edition was there his publishers had down written him to be underclass and wont sell many, but to his horror and disbelief the book sold millions of copies world wide and you would be surprised to know this very novel is still in great demand globally, however thanks for your comments, I loved to read them!

I enjoy reading fiction, especially crime investigation, murder mysteries and horror. I often go book-shopping, however I prefer to stick to the books by my favorite authors such as Ed McBain, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Ruth Rendell, Agatha Christie, Lawrence Sanders, the Kellermans, Ann Rule ....

I too love books and reading.I read anything and everything that I can lay my hands on. I started with Enid Blyton and Nancy Drew, later it was James Hadley chase,mills & Boon, Harold Robins and Perry Mason.Then there were so many other novels that I began to read -Agatha Christie, Ludlum ,Jeffrey Archer,Leon Uris,Wilbur Smith,Forsythe, Grisham and so on...I find that all the authors have some unique feature or the other...

You are absolutely right in saying this, the books have phenomenal impression on our minds, ever so we may grow, they tend to leave an imprint over our brain which is always hungry to have some nourishment, However I find you a very interesting personlity ever eager to grasp on any thing good which comes your way. I ve seen this profile earlier too, some where on MP5,Am I right, its good you keep writing, reading and blogging on such glorious sites!

I love to read pretty much anything. I read usually 2-3 books a week, mostly newer stuff but The Great Gatsby is my favorite classic.

Reading is not only my hobby, but also was my addiction as i am spending unlimited time now on reading alone.It all started in my college days where i took this interest of reading and then it got increased at a terrific pace where i reached this stage where i cannot be separated from books.I just love reading books and as the saying goes, one who keeps reading will remain young in life

There are a lot of books I have read and all excite my imagination. One I have in mind is called Charmed Spheres. Though it is a short novel, but it gives you ideas of an ideal romance after a bad start. How something imperfect can be perfect in its own way. Since we like the same genre, please recommend me some books to read. ^-^

Reading is the most thing I like. I can read a lot of kind of books. I often read the science fiction story. I like the fascinating scientific phenomena, the mysteries of the world which human desire to conquer...

My favourite books are mostly Science Fiction, although I do read many different genres. My favourite book ever is Ender's Game and I highly suggest it to everyone. Even if you don't usually enjoy sci-fi, this book is still an amazing read. I wasn't a big sci-fi fan at all until I read this.

I'm a huge reader. I never go a day without carrying a book in hand and reading. My favorite genre is high fantasy, a story that takes place completely in its own made-up world. I'll read anything if it peaks my interest, but there are few books outside of fantasy that I really enjoy.
My most famous favorites are probably Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, and The Last Unicorn. Most of my favorite books aren't famous. I like reading and enjoying books that no one's ever heard of.

I like anything with a story, generally I love reading fiction. Right now, I'm loving The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Haven't finished the book yet but it's proving to be a very interesting read. I'm aiming to read a lot of classics this year. Hope I have the time and money to read them all!

Yes reading is really a great way to learn new things and visualize it, I personally read because I want to gain some knowledge of the things that I didn't learn from the school.
