    How much reading time?

    Depending on the book, I can probably do about an hour. Sometimes I have done a few more hours more, but that's usually because I have to read it for a class or a book club.

    First book

    Ramona and the Pest, at least that is the first one that I can recall reading. I had read quite a bit by the time that I had purchased the book when I was in grade two.

    Books for Christmas?

    By the numbers: from 00 to 99. Its a book about the players who have worn the numbers from 00 to 99, at least the well known ones. It combines two of my favourite things: hockey and history and its a book to boot. Lots of photos and quite a bit of writing as well :)

    Do you buy, borrow or take out from the library?

    Even though I checked buy, I tend to do both. Sometimes I find that libraries have books that you want to read, especially in regards to books that have gone out of print or stock.

    what entices you to purchase?

    It depends on the book; most times I don't buy a book unless I have heard about it and it piques my interest. Sometimes I buy a book on impusle, but that is rare.

    Do you read much non-fiction?

    For me it depends on if the topic interests me. It also helps if the topic is a fairly current event.

    I can do both, but I prefer to have music in my ears when I read.

    1 in 4 Americans don't read-CNN article

    My mom who loves books doesn't read as much as she used to; its a combination of the fact that a lot of people still commute in their cars and that their jobs take so much out of them that they don't read as much. Even though I was taking public transit to and from work, the only time that I...
