How many veracious readers are here? How often do you read a book? Specially in this era of internet do you read books as before? I try to manage reading at least 2 boos in a month.. in my school /college days it was at least 4...

@Yadah04 I tend to get very involved in a book then forget to do anything else.

I don't read as many books as I'd like to but I'm trying to spend less time online and more reading books... without much success so far. So far this year I've read "Year of Yes" by Shonda Rhimes as well as a short book of poems by a distant relation. I gave up on another book half way through because I wasn't enjoying it, and I'm enjoying the one I started reading after that a whole lot better.

@ichchhe_mrityu I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm not good at meeting targets. When my library books are due I often take the same ones out again.

@Marty1 great to see you guys got something common.. For me, I mainly read Bengali books so cannot get anything common with you.. The last English book I read is "Surely You are Joking Mr Feynman"... I like to read Dan Brown books as well ..

@Marty1 It's the physicist's auto-biography.. You can get more to know in this wiki link.. He is really a curious character.. you may enjoy it.. I think if you start a Dan Brown book will not be able to leave it without finishing.. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surely_You%27re_Joking,_Mr._Feynman! "

@Bodyandbrain I read few translations of Prem Chandra.. Do Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay the bengali writer? It seems he is quite famous outside Bengal

I'm an avid reader. I like to read multiple books at once. I'd say in a month I can manage to read 3 or 4 books.

@Marty1 are you reading them in parallel? I do this thing sometimes.. like reading a hard copy book in home and ebook while travelling... But my general preference is to finish one book at a time then start the next one..
• Bangalore, India
20 Feb 17
@Marty1 actually I meant reading 2 books at a time.. As I mentioned, when I am going to ofc or something I used to read some eBook and returning back to home I read hard copy book which is different one... So you have a book club.. Do you meet every Saturday and discuss on your readings?
