Do you like Reading books?

Are any of you guys book worms?
Lately reading seems to have gone out of fashion, but there still are some that love reading. :
And i'm one of 'em! I enjoy a good spy story, war, aviation, detective,animal. But my FaV is the "Biggles" series. Oh and biggles is also my fav fictional character. Anyone here heard of it?

Re: Do you like Reading books?

I do, but I tend to mostly read magazines, especially music ones. I buy around 20 music mags regularly. If I read books, they usually involve music. I recently finished reading Love Is A Mix Tape by Rob Sheffield and am now working on Chuck Klosterman's Killing Yourself To Live.

They need to make all the books into movies. I used to read a lot, but don't seem to get to it anymore.

I read anything from newspapers to magazines to novels to biographies...I've really been into Steven Berry lately......Excellent fiction based on actual historic events.

My Mother and sisters and I actually have a book club. We all love to read so the club is really just an excuse to eat, drink wine, and talk!

Re: Do you like Reading books?

Serious book worm here!! I love to read, but my reading time has become limited by suddenly starting to work full time (both a good and a bad thing) I am a teacher and I work at a private school that operates in the summer too (Sylvan Learning Center) But I read on the city bus on my way to work and at night just before going to bed. I also read to my dear husband when we have time, he likes listening to me read and it is good practice for me My fave genres include children's literature and fantasy. I am especially fond of Star Wars and the Forgotten Realms.

Based on actual history? I definitely must look into him!! Biggles is also based on history(war). Does he write in series(Steven Berry)?

Re: Do you like Reading books?

Try these - all are excellent -

The Amber Room - based on WWII Nazi art theft.
The Romanov Prophecy - Based on the disappearance of Russia's Royal Romanov family
The Templar Legacy - Based on The Knights Templar - Protectors of the Holy Grail (First book of a new recurring character)


The latest is "The Alexandria Link" - Second time this character from Templar returns - haven't gotten it yet...Waiting for paperback.....

Re: Do you like Reading books?

I usualy don't read in my spare time at home, but when I'm in school, I read during spare time. It's boring, but better than sitter there for another 30mins of a 75min block period doing nothing...

Re: Do you like Reading books?

Back when I was in school, I was frequently working on 3 books at a time. I still read a lot, but pretty only 1 book at a time these days.

i can relate to that. i love to read and love to learn. i read magazines occasionally, biographies and autobiographies and at the moment am into the alexander mccall series (no 1 ladies detective agency). i'll read most things. nothing scary or slushy though. the more factual the better.

Re: Do you like Reading books?

i used to read the scifi books.. had boxes full of them, it seems like i never get time to read now and i wish i could just get the books on mp3, unabridged for the cost of a book, not a shelf of books.
