Well it's much easier to concentrate on or remember things you enjoy.

Stacey. 23-03-2010 06:31 AM

nopee, Ive read quite a few full books. and lots of magazines. :)

It's about 15 years since I read a book. :D That was a time when I was doing my A levels. I had to read books. But I didn't read them all.

I just got the synopsis and studied that. :D

Books are boring. Unless they're non fiction, in which case biographies can be interesting. ;)

You had me worried there! :hugesmile:

No. I've read autobiographys, wrestling autobiographys mainly. reading kurt angles book at the moment.

Jayson 23-03-2010 07:44 AM

I read quite often, although I usually choose the less serious/intellectual books, opting for books like Maddox's Alphabet of Manliness :p

I used to LOVE reading as a child, at one point I wanted to be a writer. I always enjoyed English though and would've taken it for A Level if I hadn't done Performing Arts.

The only books I've read in the past few years though, would be autobiographies, & performance related/analysis ones.

Tom 23-03-2010 08:03 AM

God even I've read books. Don't anymore though, bores me.

Crimson Dynamo 23-03-2010 08:50 AM

There is no question that reading books enriches the mind and intellect. It makes you a more interesting person, more employable, more attractive and so forth.

Its not so much the physical aspect of reading or the book but a willingness to continually learn, to learn, to experience and to progress as a human.

if you dont, you should.

I don't read much at all. Well, at least not plain text books. I read graphic novels a lot. I think I said somewhere else that I'm a very visual person. That doesn't mean I lack an imagination. I admire the art, and if you've ever read a graphic novel, I think you'd agree that some of it is just down right mind-blowing.

Twilight 23-03-2010 09:50 AM

I don't read much, but when i read anything its mostly Manga.light novels,etc

Niamh. 23-03-2010 09:52 AM

I used to read so much when I was younger, then stopped for a long time after I had kids but I've recently rediscovered my love of books again

Crimson Dynamo 23-03-2010 09:57 AM

I often wonder what non book readers do at bedtime. Do they just crawl into bed and put off the light. That seems so alien to me (unless I am pissed) personally but I guess that is what they do?

Usually a film before bed.

Stu 23-03-2010 10:08 AM

A nice pull on the johnson for me.

Tom4784 23-03-2010 10:22 AM

I can't stand biographies at all, I much prefer fiction really.

pinkmichk 23-03-2010 10:38 AM

i've always been a bit of a bookworm from as long as i can remember i always have a book on the go (sometimes have a couple at same time so flit between) i love reading and make full use of my library card plus i do like charity shops for books (there is something about second hand books i love, maybe its the fact they been loved already)
my daughter is also a book lover which makes me happy that she can appricate a good book

30stone 23-03-2010 10:45 AM

tv and laptops for bed are bad for sleep

having sex is excellent as it releases the sleep drug

alcohol and drugs also bad for sleep.

Nope, you have to read set texts in English and libary books when you were in primary school. Other than that Ive read the first 4 Harry Potters, some Goosebump books when younger and the odd couple of others by my choice.

I find reading boring, only read Newspapers and Mags now.

You should really read the last 3 HP books :P You're missing out :hugesmile:
