cisono Posted 21 August 2006 Posted 21 August 2006 On the topic of reading, I was just wondering how many of us read books? I buy tons but then never seem to have the time to sit down to enjoy reading them. Anyone else in the same boat?

I buy tons but then never seem to have the time to sit down to enjoy reading them. Anyone else in the same boat? I keep telling myself that I'd love to read more but then I don't do anything about it. Sadly it seems reading is almost a thing of the past for my generation

I buy tons but then never seem to have the time to sit down to enjoy reading them. Anyone else in the same boat? No. I don't usually buy books, so I don't read them. I buy a book once in a while if I know I want to read it, and then I do read it. I used to take books out of the library every 2 or 3 weeks, but stopped because I couldn't be bothered to keep searching for new books to read every 2 or 3 weeks...

cisono Posted 21 August 2006 Author Posted 21 August 2006 i wouldn't get in a boat with tons of books, it might sink, and produce third stage of life a bit too early

I buy tons but then never seem to have the time to sit down to enjoy reading them. Anyone else in the same boat? I've always got 3 or 4 books on the go at a time, I start one see another I like and start that and so on. I always manage to finish them but on occasions they get the better of me I've been reading this book for about 2 years now and am still only halfway through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rule_of_Four_%28book%29
Alexikokopops Posted 21 August 2006 Posted 21 August 2006 I read lots, love it. Next book on the agenda is a Confederacy Of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole

I've read it and also know one of the author's(Dave Jones) A film based on the book is currently in pre-production for release next year. It's a decent book even though much of it is a work of fiction!
cisono Posted 21 August 2006 Author Posted 21 August 2006 I know someone who readslots of books, but they are just comics. Do they count?
lookwhaticando Posted 21 August 2006 Posted 21 August 2006 I know someone who readslots of books, but they are just comics. Do they count? Is that your 14' tall boyfriend? And no, it doesn't count.
Matt Posted 21 August 2006 Posted 21 August 2006 Can't really say i've ever read a book, only if I was forced at school, but on my own doubt i've ever read one.
cisono Posted 21 August 2006 Author Posted 21 August 2006 Is that your 14' tall boyfriend? And no, it doesn't count. yes why?
lookwhaticando Posted 21 August 2006 Posted 21 August 2006 yes why? That wasn't the answer I was expecting. I've been caught short by that. You're boyfriend is tall and doesn't read. Comics don't count. THAT's my point.
cisono Posted 21 August 2006 Author Posted 21 August 2006 That wasn't the answer I was expecting. I've been caught short by that. You're boyfriend is tall and doesn't read. Comics don't count. THAT's my point. Just joking. He does read. You don't get a degree in astrophysics otherwise (I am assured).
Jay Posted 22 August 2006 Posted 22 August 2006 I do read but it usually takes me ages to read a book. currently reading.... As Used on the Famous Nelson Mandela Underground Adventures in the Arms and Torture Trade - Mark Thomas
Fez of Mahrez Posted 22 August 2006 Posted 22 August 2006 ' date='Aug 21 2006, 06:53 PM' post='378906']I read lots, love it. Next book on the agenda is a Confederacy Of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole I read that last year, it's fantastic. I wish I could read more but after 8 hours in front of a computer screen my eyes hurt too much to consider reading. Currently working ever so slowly through The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami.
Dr The Singh Posted 22 August 2006 Posted 22 August 2006 With all the libraries closing down, and he invention called the internet it's not surprising people are reading less.

Guest Posted 22 August 2006 Posted 22 August 2006 I'm reading 'Land Law' and 'Constitutional and Administrative Law'. I'm keen.
golden gordon Posted 22 August 2006 Posted 22 August 2006 I'm reading 'Land Law' and 'Constitutional and Administrative Law'. I'm keen. i think i saw them at the cinema so didn't bother reading them; demi moore starred in both of them as a maverick DA fighting corruption in the legal system
