I do! But, am not currently reading any book. Am reading a lotta excerpts from different books of all genres listed on http://www.goodreads.com/. ^_^ Cool, right? I don't get to start and finish the most popular books available, but I get to read the best lines of each one. It's become a habit. Like I take great amount of time scanning each page. Many are posting Arabic, though. And, most of the time, consecutively so, there are times I only read a few lines as Arabic, Chinese or other characters fill most of the page. Still, it's worth browsing down for the next valuable insights.
For the book lovers, you can also post your favorite lines. Register and share your best picks while reading others' fave plagiarism. :)

My usual response would be, to say that I love reading is still an understatement. I do not just love it anymore. It has already become a part of my daily routine, of my whole life. I couldn't imagine how my life could still go on without even having books by my side. I used to be picky with the books that I read; I don't even get along with the romance genre before. But now I realize I really don't have a particular preference of genres. Whatever interests me will do. As long as the story keeps my attention, I'll read it.
There is also this social networking site for book lovers, just like Goodreads. It's www.shelfari.com You may try to check it out once. :)

Oh, so books are like your twins. It's become part of your system. You've already built a relationship with it...that if you fail to do it in a day, it's like you violated your own self. hihi
I am not into Romance, actually. Not into novels unless it's mystery.
Thanks for sharing about Shelfari.

Wow, made me interested. I'll try to find that book in the nearest local bookstores.
Am into inspirational and self-help books lately. Only because I am doing some counseling.

I read almost everything that I can get my hands on. When I was a teenager I mostly read romance novels. But recently I read supernatural (vampires, weranimals, fairies), mystery, medical thrillers, crime novels, adventures, drama. A few months ago I found a book that made me cry like a baby. It's beautiful and terrifying. I've read it twice and recommend it to everyone. The book is Chevy Stevens: Still Missing.

I love reading and I read a lot.But I mainly read the books in my mother tongue,Hindi.And I read traditional,printed books.In fact,power cut has become a norm in our area.I have a good home library of my own and it consists of hundreds of books.Reading online books causes problem in my eyes.They start aching.

I know. Reading online hurts the eye even if you've only started reading a few minutes ago.
You mentioned that your mother tongue is Hindi. Are there popular books by English and American authors translated in Hindi?

because i am very interested in history, i pretty much only read history books so i use my local library for books that i want to read. because i live in a large city, we have many branches of the library so i can order books online and they will be sent to my local branch. its very easy and free!

That's nice. Many prefer to just go online, use their gadgets to read. But, you... you are still supporting local libraries. Kudos!

I love reading! I've been a book enthusiast since I was about five or six (possibly before, if you ask my mother). Books are a WONDERFUL thing.
Some of my favorite genres would have to be fantasy, sci-fi, and historical fiction. I enjoy reading biographies and all, but I really like the "what if THIS happened" type thing they tend to do in historical fiction.

You must be a well-informed person. A walking encyclopedia could be! Started reading and an enthusiast at an early age, huh! Cool!

Medical thrillers are interesting but not something I would really read. Geesh!
