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?

 

We have a few book worms and a wide variety of tastes also Check this out.

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!

 

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 ;D My fave genres include children's literature and fantasy. I am especially fond of Star Wars and the Forgotten Realms.

 

yer I still read books but not voulentry ;D Callum!

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

 

Try these - all are excellent -

The Amber Room - based on WWII **** 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.....

Me too, I'm always looking for more books to read

 

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...

 

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.

 

I'm mostly into Sci-fI Books. Right now, I'm into the Star Wars series!!

 

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.

that's why vampire bettas are worth the money! and I slept a whole 4 hours last night - so there.

 

I luuuurve reading.

 

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

 

I've heard of nora roberts and read one or two of her books I think.
Just finished a book by louise l'amour.

 

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.

 

Goody! so reading is not yet forgotten by the world!
I hope to go to the library tommoro!

 

library.. what is this word meaning? :;a

 

You're kidding? I loooooooove libraries. Sometimes I go to new and exciting cities and spend my days in a library. Doh!

 

Well I hardly think I'll get the chance to go to other city libraries so I make myself content by going to second hand bookshops! That's absolutely WONDERFUL!
Really FLBCouple, maybe you should start yourself reading by getting encyclopedeias or fish info on fish! Or even fish si-fic! Theres NotHinG like reading!!

 

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.

 

Libraries would be better with fish tanks in them. By my fish tanks is where I do a lot of my reading!

Don't the books get wet?!

 

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.

LOL.. yea, I guess they'd prefer a book of Finding Nemo.

 

I'm reading a book called The Fog by James Harvert, its really interesting I got really into it.

 

So has no one heard about 'Captain James Bigglesworth'?? (Biggles) ;D ???

check him out here...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biggles

 

very cool - stuff from that era is great.

 

I don't have the time to read a book, per say... but I do read magazines... my fav right now is Aquarium Fish International...

 

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. ;D

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.

 

I love to read....SciFi/Fantasy is my main thing

 

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