Not school-related.. Attack on Titan and One Punch Man.

I read for pleasure a little bit every night before going to sleep. The last couple of years I've been preoccupied with atheist books and science books. I'm a recent deconvert, so I feel like I have a lot of catching up to do, as far as understanding reality goes.

I ironically enjoy reading books about the occult lol. I also love anything about true crime and serial killers. I also have books on the supernatural and enjoy a good graphic novel every now and then.

If we are talking about fiction, I like horror and historical fiction if it's not strictly romance. My choices for nonfiction are science and history.

Love books, started that affair back when I was a toddler. By 3 I could "read" you my favorite book, "Hide and Seek Duck". Actually, I just had it memorized, but when I really learned to read, WOW! Then, when I heard about LIBRARIES, unbelievable. A place full of books and you could take them home and read them.

Decades later, I finally have my own library. It went through several transitions before becoming the library but a few years ago I decided the room was not committed to anything special and I deserved my library. There are still books in some other rooms and frankly, they won't all fit in my library. Even after trying to shave down the collection, I have somewhere over 1100 books in the house. My son is going to..... Well, I'm not sure what he is going to do when I go other than he might keep my Stephen King collection. King is my favorite author, thrillers, horror, suspense and mysteries are the genre I read most often. This is one view of the room.

History, self-help, and science fiction. Good to know I'm not the only bookworm around, especially in the day and age of e-books.

I do a serious book and a fun book. Right now I’m reading God delusion, but I just finished a “Recluse novel” (fantasy)

yes me too I learned to read at a really young age and it was in my house very safe to have your nose in a book.(Very war damaged parents) I think it might have damaged my capacity to fit in with other children but I am never without a book to dive into - People usually leave you alone if you are reading.

Yes.

Allow me to introduce you to the 3 ft high pile of books I'm currently reading ?

Oh yeah, my most valuable possession is not the books itself but the stuff written down on when I read them. I can browse one I read many years ago and those comments "tell"me how much I have changed over the pass of time. Also, now a days I enjoy reading by enhancing the experience by using Google images to see actual references described in the book, or Google maps to put things in the right place, or Wikipedia, YouTube, etc. The pleasure of reading gets magnified times whatever your patience may be to take those on line detours.

Me!

I need to keep a balance between reading and writing. I find one feeds the other.

I love the Philip Pullman trilogy, His Dark Materials.

Also anything by Don DeLillo - especially Underworld.

Do I read ? It's like asking "do you breathe ?" . It is a necessity of life. Generally have at least three on the go, a serious one, a light one for my break at work that I can skim while listening to colleagues, and the curl up in bed for three hours one. Actually have a Book Nook in the salon which myself and literary daughter made......Cosy chairs, throws, pillows, low table for drinks and food and spotlighting but not too harsh.
Love when people ask " How can you read three books at the same time" as I reply, do you watch the same TV programme all evening ?

Also, had to laugh when a couple of months ago one of thoseHow Clean Is Your House programmed was on and the presenter went "Just look at this !" And showed overflowing bookshelves, stacked high and perilously......and I just mused " What is the problem, looks totally normal to me !"

As long as it's fiction I read it! Always have.

Have a library room in my basement.

The list of things I like to read would stretch quite a distance my friend.

Irving Stone, "Lust for Life" about Van Gogh was the biggy, but he has a pretty good one on Darwin too. But "Lust for Life" also teaches you a bit about many other Impressiponists.

Anyone else love the smell of books ? Especially the second hand ones......or am I the only discreet book sniffer on site ??

I like this site and keep a record of what I've read there. Most of them I get from the library. [goodreads.com]

My wife had me go with her to a , "marriage counselor" because of my reading all the time. Oh and she is now my ex-wife.

I"m reading the biography of Bob Hope. He was a cheap bastard in real. life. A great book to read is THE DEVILS MUSIC, it's the story of how the blues came to America. And another great book is the autobiography of Miles Davis. It's just like talking to him. After I get dowe with this one, I'm gonna read Drew Barrymore's autobiography.

I remember precisely when I became a lover of books. I was probably 8 or 9 years old. My Mama bought me Swiss Family Robinson. I came out of my room maybe an hour later and pronounced that I had finished reading the book. Which, of course, was a lie. My Mama started asking me questions about the book and since I didn't read the book, I couldn't answer the questions. So off to the bedroom again. It took me a few days to finish it, but by that time I fell in love with reading. I will read pretty much anything, with the exception of westerns, but tend to prefer fiction. Even though I have a Kindle Fire, I STILL can't pass up actual, physical books. There is something about the smell of a new book.

I like books on really bad people like Jeffrey Dahmer etc. my fave is a book by Henry lesser about a man called Carl Panzram a journal of murder. when I read it I found myself quite admiring carl considering how he was treated.

History, science, science fiction,
