Default 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..

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

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

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

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.
