Are you the person who has never read a book?
 
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 07-02-2010 03:49 PM

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

Dr.Gonzo 07-02-2010 03:49 PM

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

Chantel 07-02-2010 03:51 PM

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>

there are many translations, commentaries and study Bibles. It really is 66 books in one so you get value as well as guidance.

Cool. Value fiction is always well worth a look.

Lol, I am now assured that all the names I've ever called you are actually true.

MrGaryy 07-02-2010 04:11 PM

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. 07-02-2010 04:23 PM

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

Shaun 07-02-2010 04:36 PM

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

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

MeMyselfAndI 07-02-2010 04:37 PM

I read Macbeth in primiary school

Harry! 07-02-2010 04:43 PM

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 07-02-2010 05:08 PM

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 07-02-2010 05:09 PM

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. 07-02-2010 05:44 PM

I read the final harry potter book in three days!

_Seth 08-02-2010 01:54 AM

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

One day :p 6th one as well.

eye sea 08-02-2010 08:15 AM

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 08-02-2010 08:33 AM

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.

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

BigBrotherfan4ever 26-04-2010 12:38 PM

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 26-04-2010 12:44 PM

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

WOMBAI 26-04-2010 01:11 PM

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!
