I usually get books online now, Waterstones is too expensive.

I usually read two or three books at the same time. Second hand books mostly, unless I get a gift.

I love fantasy novels.

I started reading that earlier. Love the movie, love the book so far.

Yup I love to read. I generally read fiction but there's nothing like a good autobiography, if the person has a good story to tell.

I'm reading Lauren Conrad's novels at the minute, they're quite addictive. Then I have to read The Host by Stephanie Meyer [Twilight Saga author] and I'd like to read The Lovely Bones before I see the film.

I read Of Mice and Men then other day, great read, such complex characters.

I used to read a lot but then I stopped really for a few years but now I'm reading a lot more again. I've got a fair few books to work through, At the moment I'm reading the first True Blood book but I've also got the His Dark Materials Trilogy, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the Bourne books to read.

I've read a ridiculous amount of books, I've got the ability to walk and read and I'm never on London transport without a paperbook.
I've read all of Stephen King, Herbert (both James and Frank), Koontz, Grisham, Dickens, Shakespeare, Dante trilogy, etc...
I raid charity shops mostly...

Yep, have always got a book on the go, or more than one sometimes. Have loved reading since I was a young kid, nothing better than losing yourself in a good book :)

I don't see how people can find reading boring,it's not exactly like there isn't about a gazillion books to choose from!

Most of my books are chick-lits,romances mainly,although some of them are quite dark(read one a few weeks ago called Souvenir by Therese Fowler-soooo good.) Besides chick-lit,I read some autobiographies.

Indeed, I never find it boring, and proper get lost in them sometimes, it's good to let your imagination run wild. I read all the Potters as well, they are all good, and good for visualizing in your mind.

Of Mice and Men is a great book! Did it at GCSE

Any film can be turned into a book but not every book can be turned into a film, ie Naked Lunch, HitchHikers Guide To The Galaxy etc...
I realise those films but they don't catch the true essence

Yeah it annoys me the way films change books sometimes, especially the true crime ones.
