I read about 4-10 books a week. I learned this speed reading techinque that increases my reading speed to 800 words a minute. I can't get to the next stage though. My dad is way faster than me he reads at like 1500 words a minute. Sometimes I just read slower in bed though. It is much more enjoyable. I would like to subscribe to a fish magazine but I spend all my money on fish.

i just started reading my first Harry Potter book, you guys might think its nerdy, but its actually pretty interesting if you read it yourself. i know they have movies made for the books, but books are better, sometimes the movies leave out stuff from the book, also, the books are more detail on the character's emotions that the movies can't show. one thing i would do is to read the book first then watch the movie.

The only books I really read are fish related books or books we have to read for school.

I can read up to 6 books a week if i have the time.

I voted yes. And that is true for me. However, just because I like it doesn't mean I do it often

Nevertheless, my most enjoyable ones will be those that are very descriptive. I love it when the author describes it so vividly that I can almost feel the whole scenery. And it doesn't all have to be visual. If they are descriptive in any of the senses its great. For example, Paranoia kept me tense, nervous and paranoid all through out lol.

Just finished two books by Rob Thurman.

Urban fantasy.

Nightlife and Moonshine are his two books currently out.

Both books are written first person by a guy who is half demon and on the run from his fathers side of his family.

Not too great a fan of Sci-fi... when unimaginative character A ends up in predictable terrible situation B, I have to put the book down. I used to read some Terry Brooks, though.

I'm really into 19th century Russian lit. at the moment. Read Dead Souls by Gogol and hacking away at the monsters Dostoevsky called 'novels'. The Brothers Karamazov had over 400 words per page, on average, and it was over 750 pages. Good book, though :P
Crime and Punishment was amazing, and Demons was pretty good too. Buying Anna Karenina by Tolstoy and a collection of Gogol's short stories (The Nose was highly recommended..) as well as The Plague by Albert Camus. And maybe a collection of Kafka's short stories. Depends on how much cash I end up having when I get to Borders.

lol.. the fish take all our spare money.

Actually, Stacy reads some books, i haven't read any since '05.

Sabi

But you can get books from the library.

My wife and I both love to read. Sci-Fi, fantasy, horror and Classic Literature are my faves. SWMBO likes medical and law whodunnit's and Jackie Collins books. Never mind the mess, we are in the middle of remodeling the family room, so the overflow of stuff like CD's and boxes of random stuff ended up in the den.

Well, if you consider reading books with such titles as "Spot Goes to School" and Curious George, then... yea, I love to read books... but with a 5 year old and 2 year old twins, there isnt much time for real "adult" books, but I do enjoy magazines...

like Aquarium Fish International!!

COBettaCouple

yea, that's true.

Dino

I doubt the state library system of the state I live in has an extensive a fish library as I do.

COBettaCouple

funny seeing this topic thread pop up again.
Are there any Dean Koontz fans out there? OMMGGGGod... I can read about two of his books a week and am constantly searching for his books in thrift stores, yardsales and used book shops. He has had so many books published I dont know if I will be able to get to them all, but can say the list of his books that I have read is getting longer and longer all the time.
He is one amazing talented author. Anyone read his book, called
"Brother ODD"? wow.. great book and part of a trilogy. Im really lost when I do not have one of his books going all the time. I really love to read..

I have a number of his older books, from the nineties. I think my favorite had to be "Midnight" Or was it "The bad Place"
