Are you the person who has never read a book?

[Crimson Dynamo]

It always makes me sad when I hear a celeb say that they never read books. Tim Henman and comedy Dave are 2 that spring to mind.

Please tell me that you read books regularly..

[biglover]

I have never read a book, I want to but I get bored to easily and just put the TV on X

[Dr.Gonzo]

I read all the time. I have to, I'm a writer - keeps your literary muscle strong.

[Chantel]

I've read books in the past but i dont really read them anymore

Actually I'm quite surprised you're aware there's more than the one book you constantly speak of.

<lol>

I don't understand people who say they've never read a book! I've been reading since I was a kid,I'm never not reading a book.

[Dr.Gonzo]

[Crimson Dynamo]

exactly

[Princess]

Sure?

[Dr.Gonzo]

Sure?

Awesome :)

[MrGaryy]

People who say they never read usually don't because they think it will make them seem crazy and more fun. But really most people think they seem dull and uncultured :/

to answer your question, yes I read all the time, I have loads of books to get trhough atm, just bought 2 yesterday :tongue:

[Jessica.]

I read sometimes I wont finish a book if I don't like the first chapter though!

[Shaun]

I find it sad that some people don't read at all.

[Princess]

I read sometimes I wont finish a book if I don't like the first chapter though!

First chapter?? That's a bit harsh :p Some books take longer than others to get good.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I read Macbeth in primiary school

[Harry!]

They say turn to page 66. If you like what is on that page then you will like that book. If you dont then that book is not for you.

.i read newspapers and books

[Firewire]

I don't read as much as I should do.

It took me 12 weeks to read Twilight then New Moon (6 weeks each).

[pinkmichk]

i cant understand people who dont read at all i love nothing more than curling up with a good book if that makes me geeky or whatever for admiting it then fine i can read a good book in a couple of days lucky for me my daughter is also a bit of a book worm i saved all my books from being a kid (3 huge boxes of enid blyton) that i now share with her
sadly i think a lot of it with those who dont read is that they'd rather spend hours on end playing computer games than reading

[Jessica.]

I read the final harry potter book in three days!

[_Seth]

I never read books at my own free will. :)

[Princess]

I read the final harry potter book in three days!

One day :p 6th one as well.

[eye sea]

I had to read books when I did my A levels, ESPECIALLY for A level English Literature. :D

But since I passed my A levels I can seriously say I have never read a FICTION book from front to back since. Just not interested in fiction, although I read non fiction. :)

[Fom]

I have a few books I am halfway through, I just don't have time to sit down with a book. I have a lot of books to do with my course that I read a lot. I am always reading at some point really... most of my job is just reading stuff.

[hennessy]

ooh I'm waiting to read those books shortly after finishing Finnegans Wake, hell freezing over and getting my 1st menstrual cycle.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I love reading.
There nothing better than a hot sunny day & sitting in my garden, get stuck right into a good book, its my favourite way to relax.

[Iceman]

I read loads now, i didn't up until about 2-3 years ago.....favourite author is the guy in DrGonzo's avatar!

[WOMBAI]

Haven't read much in the way of fiction in the last 4 years - due to studying and having to read for research purposes!
But now I am looking forward to having a good read - and actually relaxing and enjoying it!

[Crimson Dynamo]

I wonder if internet use will have a big effect on reading, ie we spend all day looking and reading off the pc that our usage of printed matter declines from sheer fatigue.

I think it has an effect on reading insofar as a lot of people have short attention spans or go refresh crazy. Plenty of times I have planned to read a book at say, 12 at night, and next thing I know I'm still switching tabs at 2 in the morning.

I got as far as "insofar" and then went to engadget

[InOne]

No, I always read.

I guess in this age of information technology it is possible to gain wisdom and knowledge without the need to ever pick up a book, but the biggest loss in never reading is the exercise of your mind, spirit and imagination through the act of reading.

Watching a film adaptation of a book may give you the story, but the reading of it brings another dimension since it is enacted within your mind and somehow has a more profound and lasting impact on the psyche. The way an idea is expressed in literature and poetry can often be a revelation, offering a new way of looking at something.
