Anybody still read?

I found a copy of The Three Musketeers there and I'm thinking of reading it.. Like The Count of Monte Cristo is the best book I've ever read and it's the same author.

Just thinking it could be better for me than sitting on boards, facebook and 4chan at night.. Instead of my mind bein full of the dregs of /b/ and not bein able to sleep, it'll be full of chivalry and swordsmanship.

Hi

oh you

Snowie

I read.............

Biggins

I found myself reading a lot more in the last year as the increase of crap (especially the reality junk) on the TV get larger by the day.

I find I do almost all of my reading on the DART/bus. I don't know what it is about them that compels me to read...

I'll even sometimes get the DART into town just so I can have a good read.

If that was the joke in the Simpsons with the attractive woman on the car where she the question "Do you come with the car" followed by "Oh you (cute chuckle)"

A thanked post is wavering on this ABG

i have no idea what you're talking about but if that's where the line comes from, then yes i guess.

edit: it pretty much definately is.. as i typed it, i said it in sexy voice in my head.

Captain-America

I read a book once, I forget what it's called.

Firetrap

I listen to audiobooks. Does that count?

I do, I love reading. When I'm chilling, I'm torn between my laptop, my book and the telly:o. Just finished the 5th in Stephen King's Dark Tower series. Just great, I'd love if they made a film series out of it..like the Lord of the Rings, may not happen though. It'd take a fair few films to squeeze it all in.

Its called "the book of evidence".
You get it during your trial for too much whoring around.

I worked in a libary. It learnded me to reed poperly.

No, I rarely read books.
I only got half way through the last two books I was reading. One was that Dan Brown book that's soon to be a film. A friend threw it out while he was helping me fill a skip. Would have finished it. The other was Allen Carr's how to quit smoking or something. I gave up on that one half way through because I saw through the bull****. Don't tell the people on the Giving Up Smoking forum that though.

I used to read quite a lot until I was 7. My father would read a book and pass it on to me. Pretty much gave up when I moved away.
Tried picking it back up a few years back, but my heart just wasn't in it.
I did read the Motley Crue autobiography in two sittings though. Fascinating read.
Animal farm wasn't given to us in school, but I read it one day in a friend's house after a party. Great read and made me forget I had a hangover.

Yeah, same with me. I read a lot until I was about 12 and then stopped almost entirely for years. It's only in the last couple of years that I've started reading again.

Quality

I read a book a week when I am not studying.

The literature site is actually very good here.. Some good recommendations.:)

Sharpshooter

I have read practically all of James Patterson's books.
They are a cracking read.

Terry

Just an addendum to my last post;
I tend to read more news articles now than I used to, but they would be internet ones and not print.
I bookmark a bit of stuff under weekend reading because I spend most weekdays reading AH and I tend not to count that as literature.
No offence meant to the posters here, but being honest, we're hardly Joyce, Yeats or Beckett. More Sun columnists than anything.

Tar.Aldarion

Yes I have read books every day for about 17 years.

Used to read 8 books every 2 weeks for years (all I could get from library with 4 library cards ^^) when I was younger but don't have the time any more.

My favourite series are A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin and The Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson.
Both are unfinished, and favourites change with time.

would a 21 yr old lad like them?

I also will add that I would read books for a while, but it could be a few months before I read again.

Tar.Aldarion

Since I read most of them last year at 21, I suppose. :P

It depends what type of books you like, they are fantasy books.

GLaDOS

I read in bed if I'm not too tired/drunk. Currently reading Robin Hobb's "Fool's fate", 'tis brilliant

Starting to read a lot more now. Reading a good book is miles better than reading random repetitive threads!
