Re: Do you like Reading books?



I LOVE to read books. They are highly addictive, and nothing is more creative then ones imagination!
The last few that I have read is "The Magician's Wife", "The Reader",and just finished "Angels Fall" which is a book by Nora Roberts, and was made into a movie for television

Re: Do you like Reading books?

I love to pleasure read when I have the time. I'm usually not a science fiction fan but I just read Dune by Frank Herbert and it was one of the most entertaining books I've read in a long time. Also, my favs of all time are Catch-22 by Heller and ****'s Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga by Hunter S. Thompson. Honorable mention goes to Life of Pi by Yann Martel, The Great Gatsby (of course) and The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe . Throw in The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway and that's a good little start to what I consider a good combo between the best and most entertaining novels of all time.

Re: Do you like Reading books?

Actually, I used to read a lot.. huge amounts of scifi books especially.. all of Tolkein's books, even The Silmarillion.. i just don't find time to read books much of late and the reading that I do is mostly online. Even all the manuals for my video production software is in PDF format. wikipedia is there for my encyclopedia and i don't own any fish books, but learn from this site and researching online.

libraries would be better with fish tanks in them i think.

Re: Do you like Reading books?

I try to discourage the fish from turning the pages for me. I avoid putting the pages too close to water when they want to see the pictures. Usually it works out ok. They hated Moby Dick.
