It's about 15 years since I read a book. 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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.
