I wish I read books more but yes I do read quite often, I prefer to read fantasy novels for casual reading, and then informative books such as physics manuals and the like sort for cramming my brain with knowledge.

I love books, as well as my mum. We love to go down to the library. We're total bookworms! =) But school kind of ruins the fun in reading, with all the shakespear and making us read the most boring books ever known to mankind. But then again, occasionally they give us a reasonably good book to read.. I also like manga. Naruto is my favourite manga series.

Well...no, not really. It's sad, but I don't. And reading things on the internet wouldn't work either, would it?

I read a lot. My teacher calls me the gobbler girl because I read and finish books left and right. I actually made a sport of reading, if I could finish it faster than someone else. My record for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is two days.I read YA novels, comics, manga, magazines, and the morning newspaper.

I used to read weekly, but I haven't been able to read much lately because I've been working. It's rather disappointing because there's loads of books I do want to read. It would be so much better if the Kindle were released over here.

Yep, I read books all the time, even in class [only when I'm too bored to do whatever they're telling us to do].And I also forgot to return the book I borrowed from the library, but of course I'll return it or else I won't be able to graduate.

I used to read all the time when I was younger. My favorites were the fantasy (not too cheesy) and science fiction genres. Orson Scott Card put out some great books centering around Ender and to this day, Speaker for the Dead is the best book I've ever read. But as I got older, I found I had less and less time for reading what with all the work I had going on. Maybe this semester I'll get some more reading in.EDIT: I actually attribute some of my intellect/vocabulary/and success in school to reading as a kid. Reading does wonders for the brain and I can definitely see myself as having an advantage over "deprived" kids in school and on tests like the SAT.

I used to read all the time, very fond memories. Over the past few years I've had less spare time, and that spare time has usually be filled up by activities other than reading.Not to mean I don't enjoy or like reading, just that other things have happened that have given me less opportunities to read.

I have a small library of about 200 books or so. Though 30 are mangas. The long lengthly books are the best ones IMO. Could stop reading it, and pick it up again a few months later, and never worry too much about finishing it. Fantasy is my favorite genre. The worlds depicted in them are absolutely stunning!

Wow, you must live in a very poor town! But anyway I used to have a library in Arizona of 3 stories, and a whole floor is like college calculus, politics, and English, one floor for Junior High and high school and one floor of childrens books.Well, I do love reading though because I like to watch movies in my mind when I visualize what I am reading. I just seem to visualize everything I am reading (except math)

I love reading! My favorite kinds of books are manga though. I haven't been able to find any other good books lately. Except for Magic or Madness, my favorite book of all time! I would recomend it to anyone!

Well, it basically depends on if I've gotten my hands on a good book lately :) I don't usually read much, but when I do find a good book, I plow through it at top speed. When I get a really good novel, I just can't put it down. Most 500-700 page books take me about a week, on a normal schedule.

yeah, I read quite a bit. manga, comics, novels, short stories. It has to be a good story though, or I just won't read it. If it isn't holding my attention, then there's no point.
