    I use to when I was much younger. Now I buy a book intending to read it and maybe get through the first chapter or two and never pick it up again.

    Yep!

    I'm currently reading Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard by Rick Riordan. I figured reading some fantasy books would help me with writing my own fantasy books, and this one has been pretty good in giving me a few ideas while reassuring me I'm on the right track. I think it was meant for a younger audience, but ah, that's not a biggie.

    Yeah, I'm a big reader! I just finished Little Brother by Cory Doctorow, and I'm currently reading 1984 by George Orwell and Kraken by China Mieville. I've never read a book about surveillance before, and somehow managed two at a time with Little Brother and 1984.

    I'm still a teen, so I like to read young adult books. I'm a little scared of the world of adult books, weirdly enough.

    Lately? Haven't read any books lately. Latest book I read was either....uhh The Iceberg Hermit or Harry Potter Deathly Hallows. It's seriously been that long xD. Been debating on finding something new to read though.

    The time is upon us...

    Nothing wrong with that. Hell I'm almost 30 and still look in the Young Adults section at the book store.

    I love the young adults section, I just try to avoid the dystopian stuff or John Green-sad-esque stuff and look for more unique books.

    If adults weren't allowed to be childish children wouldn't have cartoons.

    I mostly read nonfiction these days (currently a philosophical work on Marriage by Sherif Girgis, Ryan Anderson, and some other author whose name escapes me), although I recently read Shogun (historical fiction) by James Clevall and the first Kingdom Hearts novel. The newest Fire Emblem has me wanting to acquire more pure oriental fantasy.

    Well I'm probably the lowest posting active member. All a part of my brilliant strategy to make the few things i post seem good!

    I read all the time! Currently reading the Disruption series by Jessica Shirvington (she is my favourite author *o*). It's a dystopian, but I'm finding I don't hate it. I love to read young adult books, the adult stuff mostly bores me. xD

    And pretty much anything fantasy I'll read. C:
