A book addiction.

I generally like to read at night,unless I am bored or get wrapped up in a good book then I will also read during the day.If I start reading a book one night and really like it,sometimes I will stay up all night reading it.If I get too tired then I will go to sleep and grab it and start where I finished will I am doing stuff.I will continue reading while I am brushing my teeth and hair,cooking,eating,riding on the the bus or if I am driving at the stop lights. Do you get addicted to a good story like that too?

I love a good read and when I am into a book I literally can't put it down either! When I read Mark Haddons 'the curious incident of the dog in the night time', I didn't put it down for an entire day! I started it at about 8 in the morning and didn't stop till 1am the next day. I also sneak a quick read when I am cooking, on the bus, in the bath you name it, but I guess thats the beauty of a well written book. :)

Hi wrenfrost, I don't believe that I have read any of Mark Haddons books.I mostly got into the Harry Potter series books,Harlequin romances (usually the western ones).As well as some Stephen King books.Recently I got some free books on my Kindle that were good,"The Other Daughter",by Mira Lee Rerrell.That was a really great story.And,"Married by Mistake" by Abby Gaines is a Harlequin book.

Mark Haddon is a great comic and observational writer, I would recommend his books. I'm currently reading we need to talk about kevin by lionel shriver, which is gripping and extremely well written. I also like stephen king and I have read all of the Harry Potter series. I have yet to purchase her latest title the casual vacancy. I like checking out new authors and I will definately chack out the other daughter, and married by mistake. :)

I have had that experience too. I did it a lot years ago, when my eyes were better. I have burned food, left house unclean, you name it. I have tried to mend my ways along the years but now I don`t read so much but use the computer more.

I suppose that I`d read more, in spite of my eyes, if there weren`t other passtimes. I don`t think I`m able to read very profound bookks anymore and light stories can be seen on movies and TV too.

Reading the useful books on different topics from different writers is giving the informative and innovate information of their needs.Books is the best friend for person.I will read the books as much as possible with respect to time.But one thing important information devices can effect the reading books day by day that why people would lost their interest to reading books because it has demand more time.People will replacing internet to getting useful information..............

I enjoy audio books as well.Therefore if I'm busy then I can listen to a book while I am doing other things.It still takes time to sit down to the computer.I do a few things,I read off and online.

I love to read books also! My husband can't see how I can just sit there and read until I finish reading the book. He will ask me a question or want me to do something for him. Usually I'll answer or do whatever he needs me to do quickly, but when I'm engrossed in a book, forgett it! I'll get it done when I'm done reading. He says I'm a speed reader, I don't think so I just read because I enjoy it and if it's real interesting, I can't put it down! I don't often read in bed, because I find myself falling asleep. For me reading is so relaxing! Happy reading!

I already posted this idea before when one member ask some question if I love to read a book. Well, before I know internet surfing my past time was to read a book until I fall asleep. I was addicted to different books

Hi julyteen,It's easy to get addicted to books.

I wouldn't say that I am addicted to books, but I do like them. I think that more people should be making an effort to read, because there are far too many people who just don't bother to do this. I like to read whenever I get the time, and there is nothing that I love more than getting the news that one of my appointments has been cancelled because this then means that I have an extra hour or so to be able to read my book which I didn't think that I was going to get. My partner doesn't read at all, and I actually feel sorry for him because of this.

I like reading a lot. I always bring a book with me in my bag whenever I go out of the house to ease boredom in traffics, longlines in supermarkets. Always, when I start a book to read, I can't get enough of it and I always want it to finish right away. :)

I can also get lost in a good book. Sometimes I even sleep late at night just to finish the book that I am reading. If it is a series, I might try my best to finish it all as long as my eyes can take it, usually at night so there will be very little or no disturbances. I installed the Kindle app in my iPad and iPod touch so I can catch up on my reading wherever I am and if there is an opportunity to do so.

I started to read when I was in primary school and it continues until now. During those days, I was really addicted to read novel books. In one sitting, I can have 2 to 3 books. Now, the passion changed since there are a lot of things that makes my life busy with. Though I still read a chapter of books before taking a nap, it is better than nothing.

Hi Maria,Yeah it appears that you are not much of a reader.
