I believe many of us have a habit of reading books. They can be fiction and non-fiction. How was the year 2015 for all of you in terms of reading. I had a good year as I finished reading 27 books. New year has started and today is the 10th day but yet to start reading for 2016. Want to achieve more than I did in 2015. Also are any of you waiting desperately for any new book by your favourite author or any sequel. I am waiting for the last part of a trilogy by an Indian author and another one is "Cometh the Hour" in Clifton chronicles by Jeffrey Archer.

I love magazines, sometimes it's almost as good as buying a book. VANITY FAIR is my favorite.

a book worm is a lover of words. books make people more articulate. you have an amazing number of books you have read the past year. simultaneous readers read a lot of books at the same time so they finish a lot.

I envy people who can read more than one book at a time.

Jeffery Archer is heavily criticised here for his political and financial wrong-doings and regarded as a poor author too - I read a few of his books which I disliked - hope you enjoy his work though

Yes, I have read about him in Wiki. But I liked his works. To be frank I have read only the Clifton chronicles which is a series of seven books. Out of which five I have finished and the sixth is due this Feb. Apart from that I have read one collection of short stories. So, I have not read much of his works but whichever I have read, I have thoroughly enjoyed.

@WriterMukund I had read novels and stories by Premchand long ago.Thereafter I began reading works by other writers like Mohan Rakesh,Jaishankar Prasad,Chatursen Shastri,Mridula Garg and many others.I am also trying to have Hindi translation of the literature of other Indian languages.

Great that you read Hindi novels. I guess you have read the works of Premchand. I have heard about his works but never read.

I have been out of touch with the books for several months now, I'm just finishing up Tim Cope's travelogues and Khaled Hosseini novels. I have to search more regarding what books are going to be released this year. I am an avid bookworm, but time hasn't been on my side lately. Hopefully after the exam ends next week, I'll start reading books and finishing them full-fledged.

Academics are more important. Once your exams are over you can start from where you had left.

I love reading books. I'm a member of the local library. Currently I'm reading Sepulchre by Kate Mosse. It is a wonderful book. Which Indian author book are you waiting for?

That is great to hear that you are associated to a library. I am waiting for the next book by Novoneel Chakraborty.

I've always enjoyed reading books. Ever since I was a kid. I didn't get the chance to read as many books as I may have liked last year, but I did get the chance to read a few books. My life is just so busy. So long as I get the chance to read a little every day, I'm happy.

I am notorious for starting multiple books but do not finish them at my set goal of finishing them. And what's worse is I already have new books to read and I have not even finished the first batch!
But that is going to change now. I have finished 2 short fictional romance books from new authors, and now I am going to read another fictional historical one from another new author. My goal now is to read and give new authors who self-published their works on kindle a chance because some of them are really good. I even first read Veronica Roth's Divergent series for free through kindle's selection of free ebooks for new authors.

2015 was a good year of reading for me. I discovered Dennis Lehane's books, Lee Childs published another Jack Reacher and Stephen King delivered as always. John Sanford has a new Virgil Flowers out, but instead of a new Prey story he wrote some science fiction tale - ughh, I hate science fiction.
