Even though technology is becoming increasingly more prominent in society, it's still nice to pick up an actual book and be able to physically turn the pages and smell the paper. I will admit that I tend to get distracted when reading books since I don't isolate myself when reading.

yea

I could read 4 books in a week when I was like 8.

Now I just read the books the school gives for basic literature.

I go in to second hand book stores just to smell the scent of slowly rotting paper.
So, no, I don't read books.

If I'm sleepless, then yea, I grab something and start to read. After about 10 minutes noone can awake me for next 8 hours.
So no, because books are as boring as hell, sometimes even more (especially polish positivism literature) than techno.

Shouldn't this be moved to General Discussion?

I read them, but recently I've been spending too much time on the PC to catch up.

Moving to GD after this post.

I do, in fact, read books (Going for an English literature minor, actually). Quite often, at that. Lately, though, I've been sticking my usual authors when reading for the hell of it (Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Carl Hiaasen, and H.P. Lovecraft) because it's been far too long since I've read any of their stuff. :?

I read magazines when memtest86+ is running (and for whatever reason I'm not sleeping) and I don't have much to do on my laptop.

But who is You???

I'm actually illiterate, and therefore cannot read books.

I love reading books! It's a really nice and easy way to get into some good stories. Can be expensive sometimes, though. Damn publishers and their exploiting of us.

Books are great~
I love them~
Now reading How many flowers falling in dreams by Echo
Sallad4ever
Yup books are great
My primary reason is the same as Adarin and beside my eyes can't last long in front of monitor
I mostly read Adventure or Fantasy novel but lately I want to read Horror/Mystery genre

Any good recommendation (classic is fine) ?

Books are generally even more boring than movies. If I can't interact with it (via intended means), it sucks.

You're doing it wrong.

I used to read books from time to time. I haven't read one in a couple years, although I have been listing to audiobooks occasionally.

also I like carving books up to put ipods in them

Hey, nice posts so far. Btw for now on, blogs and facebook don't count.

I got my Scott Pilgrim books today. After that, once I'm back in the reading spirit, it'll probably be Silence of the Lambs for me.

I was going to read "Cryptonomicon" by Neal Stephenson (as his other books I've read are awesome) but I ended up getting distracted near the start and never finished it.
I am also currently using his other book "Anathem" in conjunction with X-Files box sets as a makeshift table.

I think the last book I actually finished was Matthew Reilly's latest book.

I enjoyed the His Dark Materials Trilogy, and uhh....... some series by Traci Harding involving time travel.


I need to read more. Oh well.

I'm going to share with all of you a piece of information, should the world ever have the misfortune of you procreating: reading to your baby within days of it's birth will make them smarter.

That's what they say, along with Mozart's music.

Clearly your parents anti-read to you.

The Hunger Games was a poorly written book. The only decent part was when the main character was actually in the arena. The beginning and the ending are both horrid and I never read the other books in the series.

I'm currently reading the Dexter series. I've read Darkly Dreaming Dexter and Dearly Devoted Dexter and I love them. They aren't the best books I've read, but they certainly grab my attention and do a great job of keeping me interested.

My favorite author is John Wyndham.



tl;dr: books are awesome unless they suck
Adarin
Just finished Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder - it's a pretty good read if you're willing to trudge through all the philosophical history that comes with it.

...WHAT THE F*CK IS A BOOK?

Or at least that's what the idiots who type idle letters in and call them words would say. A Series of Unfortunate Events and 39 Clues or bust.
Rantai
For some reason I'm really attached to the Redwall series.

Otherwise I do love my books that involve Roman legions.
ZonChau
Now adays I usually read nonfiction books to learn about cool stuff. Recently read a book about a guy that tried to understand why things break.

That explains it.

Series of Unfortunate Events was good from what I can remember though.

Lenin's Embalmers is fairly interesting if you skip over the parts where Zbarsky talks about his family and other boring crap unrelated to CHEMICALS ALL OVER LENIN MMMMMM
