Topic: Does anyone Read Books? | |
---|---|
Just curious. Who is reading what?
What kind of reading do you prefer? What are you reading now? I always have a book going. Leave it on my nite table. I try to read myself to sleep everynite. When done im gone in 30 secs. No problem. Currently reading "Sandstorm" by James Rollins. Read a few of his others as well. I almost always lean towards Action/adventure/mystery novels. |

Yes David,
I read everynight before I go to bed. Right now I am reading "Emma's Secret" by Barbara Taylor Bradford. I usually go to Goodwill and get a bunch of books and load my bookcase so I can pick up a book when I want to read. When I finish with these books I take them to the local nursing home in Chesterfield. I enjoy reading, it is a passion. Right now my bookcase is running low, time to make another stop at Goodwill. |

Read myself to sleep many times. Have to have a book with me for reading/waiting for anything, but especially the bus. Reading a novel called The Liar's Diary.... Author a 3 time Pushcart nominee (hats and horns) a psycholocical mystery..dark truths et al. Got it at such a deal Border's buy 1 paperback at $3.99, 2nd one free.
Love legal thrillers, mysteries the most...Mostly, for me, its got to ring true, a story that seems like it could have happened |

Well I was going to post that I donate my books to Goodwill.
Just mental notes (ouch) hehe. Yes Poly I sometimes carry a book with me when I know I will be waiting for the long one somewhere. What is a "Pushcart" Nominee? |

Well...the award sounded funny to me, it seems like she has written short stories, poetry, blogs and this is her first novel...
I usually buy 99 Centers at Goodwill. I recycle my paperbacks at the public library, or when I'm feeling lazy put them in a bag a leave them out where people can see them when they dump there things at the trash/re-cycle room Splurges are best sellers at Costco...$4.99 insteady of 7.99 and up |

I read all the time. Right now I'm working at finishing a book called Hope by Mary Ryan and right after that I will be reading A death in White bear Lake with plans to read White Oleander and in between several books of poetry I picked up while in Seattle.
I sure hope passes to the mountain lakes hurry and open up so I can head up to my favorite spot to sit and read. Anyone wanna join me? |

I love to read. But I can't do it at night, cause it doesn't help me sleep. In fact, it keeps me awake.
The only problem I have though is I can have a book done in 1-2 days, so the excitement doesn't last long. And I'll read just about any book as long as it's not one of those cheesy romance novels. |

I do read a lot, and my interests are varied.
From classics like Jane Austen and and Charlotte Bronté, over crime (Patterson, Kellerman, Connelly, and others) to the Irish Authors that I have lately discovered. I have over 500 books and I'm building a data base on my PC. I gave about 100 away to Oxfam, books I didn't like and wouldn't read again. |

I also am an avid reader, and had accumulated over three thousand books. Mostly sci fi, and adventure. I donated most of them this fall to the local library, and goodwill. I kept my favorites, and the classics for myself. I have started reading books from a 200 yr. old family farm recently sold. The writers from the early, and late 1800's have quite a different style. Many have lithograph prints covered with tissue paper. Handwritten signatures in many, peciled prices for hardcover books 5-15 cents!

almost missed this post.
I have always been a heavy reader. Action, self improvement, medical, history, religion, humour, you name it I might read it. Should we start our own book club here in the threads? People just list books they have read, enjoyed & why? Amazon.co is a good place to get books cheap. We could even mail books to eachother. THOUGHTS???????? |

I have a habit of picking up a book, then getting interested in the subject and getting as many books as I can about that subject until I get bored with it. Right now I'm on my 3rd book about Bob Dylan. Before that I read 5 straight about the Civil War.
I love Robert Heinlein. I have all of his books and have reread them all many times. |

THOUGHTS???????? I think it's an awesome idea! But I've seen people try to get a thread like that started and it didn't get really far. So how do you start a thread like that, and keep people's interest? |
