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.

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

I actually love to read, depending how busy I am I can read up to 3/4 a month.
Currently re-reading Lauren Conrad's 'LA Candy' for the third time <3
