Reading

[Sheep]

Are you a reader? Why or why not? How many books do you usually read?

[Winter]

Am I a reader? XDDD Let's see...I had a friend once ask me if I liked books more than I liked people, if that gives you an idea of what you're dealing with with me. I read really quickly (as in I can read The Host within a single day should I devote my attention to it) and I read a lot, though I can't even begin to estimate numbers. XD

Back in grades 11 and 12, oh yeah. My English teacher said it was weird not to see my reading the odd time I didn't have a book in hand. I can't remember how many books I went through at that point, but it was a lot.

When I started university though, got bogged down with French textbooks and research material, that seemed to stunt the bookworm in me. Though, I think I'll get back into it. Work in a library, not like I have a lack of books open to me X33

Unfortunately, I'm not that much of a reader like I used to be.

After Senior year of high school, I just kind of...stopped reading altogether. It's kind of a sad thing; ever since I was a kid, I loved reading books! I would definitely get the ones that had mystery, or perhaps adventure. I believe my interest dropped because I had work as well as school and I never really had the time anymore to just pick up a good novel and read it. u__u

I do plan to pick up reading again, though! I do miss it a lot...I'm not the biggest fan of reading through phone/tablet, either.

Yes, yes I am. I get, er, teased about it, you could say, but it's cool, I love my books. xD I guess my love for reading is probably one of the main reasons why I turned out to be rather fluent in English and a - I'd like to think - decent writer. I kinda have to learn how to discipline myself, though, as I can get so hooked into reading that I pretty much forget to do anything else, let alone listen to what others are trying to tell me.

Why do I love reading? I don't know, really; I grew up learning to appreciate stories (my mom would always read me one before I went to bed), and it kinda just stuck with me ever since. Reading's fun, and takes you to a new world, really; it's truly a portal to someplace else, where anything can happen. It's where I let my mind, my imagination, run free (so much that I end up hating casting choices just because I didn't picture a certain character in that manner).

I've always loved reading. I usually head to the library once a week to get a new supply of books. I'm a pretty fast reader, so if it's a good book I can get through it pretty quickly. I find reading is a good way to relax before going to sleep, and also a good distraction while on the train to work every day. I'm nt sure why I like it so much, I guess it's just fun to escape to other worlds.

I don't read too often, but I to enjoy reading a good book as long as it's able to paint a picture in my mind.

[Neo Emolga]

I mostly read graphic novels. I'm not really into superhero comic books, though, I mostly like stuff such as DMZ, Channel Zero, and the Criminal series. To me, those are more realistic and I like their gritty, mature themes as well.

[Corey]

I don't remember the last time I picked up a book other than a schooling book. xD

I hate reading for some reason. Every time I try to start, I either get a headache, get bored, or get antsy. If I read, I would read only non fiction, in topics I was interested in. o:

[EmeraldSky]

I'm a sucker for a good fantasy novel, and bonus points if an epic quest or minstrels are involved.

I also have a fine collection of folktale books and books of play scripts for inspiration

I used to read often. Back when I was 10, I did the MS Readathon. Raised $300 and read 48 books in the time frame. I read like crazy until I was about 15. I would still read the odd novel of my own accord, especially if it is a long awaited sequel (Inheritence came out when I was 16. Read it in 5 hours) or if it is a series I have gotten into massively (Lorien Legacies. Read I am number four one night, and the power of six and the rise of nine the next). One book I have read recently is Hideaway by Dean Koontz. Love that book. Pretty messed up, but keeps me interested all the time. Want to read more of his stuff. I would also highly recommend tomorrow when the war began and the sequels. Especially the third book in that series.

I've been reading for years. Depending on the book, I can get through it in a matter of hours or it could take me months. It also depends on how much time I have and how interested in the book I am. I usually do finish everything I read though, even if it takes me months to do it.
