    How much reading time?

    I lose all track of time when reading and I don't have much of a sense of time to begin with. I have no kids and am not likely to have any anytime soon. I watch little TV. So my free time is mostly reading, and being online (more reading really) and sleeping (I love to sleep and my dreams help...

    Ever broken up with someone over books?

    I would've lost interest. I have no clue if the first guy I dated read but he just was....too far below me in knowledge and not willing (or maybe able) to catch up...and I got bored. Fast. I'm a woman by the way and I care a lot about intellect. Intellect and kindness are the first two...

    do you keep track of the books you read?

    I have in the past but eh...I just read so much and keeping track is not in my nature. I can look at a book and know if I've read it anyway. That's the only reason I'd keep a list I think, if I forgot what I had read before.

    Poll: How old is the average reader on this Forum?

    I find it's interesting to reread childhood/adolescence favorites now. I agree about perceptions changing. You get more life experience, understand new things, and so coming back is so different. I'm going to try to read some books I HATED having to read for school and see what happens now...

    Poll: How old is the average reader on this Forum?

    It was like that where I grew up but where I live now most everybody reads. I see people passing the time on the bus that way all the time. I LOVED Matilda. Still do. I've reread it in the past year. :D

    Your reading routine

    All I need is reading material and earplugs and I can read anywhere, sitting, standing, lying down....ok walking is dangerous.

    Do you read in the toilet, and what reading material usually goes in there?

    I used to take books in there. Now I'm never in there long enough so I read the shampoo and the deoderant etc.

    You know you're addicted to reading when...

    I do. I can hear though, if it's yelling. Often I'm brought back from book world by things like 'Lady, this is the bus station, you have to get off here.'

    Confessions of a Print Addict

    Hi I am alliterati and I am also a printaholic. My addiction started before I knew how to read and got 'worse' when I learned. I go the library whenever I get the chance. I have more books than shelving. I've eschewed other things to read. I do it everywhere..in the bath, on the bus...I don't...

    1 in 4 Americans don't read-CNN article

    While it doesn't shock me, it does flabbergast me. My initial reaction was four books in a YEAR? I read four books in a MONTH. Easily. I can understand actually not having time but honestly most people do. They just devote it to other things. Thankfully I live in a very reader heavy area but I...

    Who Are The Writers?

    I've written hosts of poems and short stories and have a few novel starts hanging around on my hard drive. I'm also currently writing my autobiography. I've only been published once and that was a poem in a HS magazine but mostly it's because I haven't put myself out there. I think I'm a...

    How Long Between Books?

    I find if something is taking a while for me to read for whatever reason I feel the need to jump into something else. Also I like to read fiction and non-fiction at the same time for different flavors.

    How Long Between Books?

    I always have a book (or more) going. I tend to read two or more concurrently so there's not a real stopping point anywhere.

    How And Where Do You Read?

    In bed definitely. I'm usually on the bed if I'm reading in fact....Also on the bus. There are some perks to not driving.

    Wonderful, wonderful books

    I do that too. I don't drive so I either walk or take the city buses most of the time. Walking and reading is dangerous (especially when you're as uncoordinated as I am) but reading on the bus is great. I've been known to get through halves of books in my commute when I'm taking classes (45-50...

    Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle

    :) I think I'd handle kindergarten better now at 24 than I did at 5. I finally have the fine motor skills I needed.

    Your age

    I was 17 or 18 when I read the first one and am 24 now and have just finished six.

    Wonderful, wonderful books

    It happens. I've gotten something like that.:p Annoyingly easy going and annoyingly positive. Along the lines of 'why aren't you getting upset!'. Well because there's no purpose to it. I'm right along with the poster except I don't usually get upset over missing a bus. Then again I usually have...
