Anyone else a huge bookworm like me? I absolutely love to read and I am definitely a bibliophile. I have been my entire life. What do you enjoy reading?

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.

I am a huge bookworm....but no interest in the Bible....read it front to back about 20 yrs ago and that was when I knew for sure I was an agnostic/athiest. I enjoy reading mostly fiction.....I like debut novels as these authors have not yet settled into a groove where so many of their book are alike. Mysteries are my favorite but will read history...no romance, please.....been there...done that! ha I am 78 yrs old an enjoying the freedome read as much, or as little, as I want. Would love to hear from other bookworms.

I I come from a family of "readers", and have loved reading from a young age. I read every night, and my genres change depending on my mood. I just finished "Educated", a memoir I heard about on NPR. Great read that made me want to crawl out of my skin at times. Next in line? "Grunt" by Mary Roach, the same woman who wrote "Stiff", "Bonk", and others.

I like reading the Classics, especially Romantic Drama, Also Scientific and Historical books. Just finished reading 'Sapiens' (2015) by Yuval Noah Harari which I think everyone should read. Also half way through 'Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded' (1740) by Samuel Richardson which is said to be the first Novel by some scolars (depending on how you define a Novel)

I'm trying to stay away from page turners like Michael Connely, Jeffry Deaver, of Clive Cussler. I have a lot of trouble sleeping and usually read myself to sleep, but it can keep me up until one or two am. So I'm cutting back and re-reading some of my own stories I wrote years back. But sometimes I think reading real paper books is becoming a lost art.

You really opened up a can of worms with this post. Prepare to be flooded by lists of books, series, and periodicals. This site has more readers than I would have believed possible. I think most of us have troubles getting to sleep without something with words in a row on it.

Just finished Origin by Dan Brown thriller, can't turn pages fast enough I like the English novels: Eliz. George and novels in the early English era. (Sansung?) Reading "K is for Killer" by Sue grafton. Her novels just fun to read. Like Rollins novels for the info,
I also read NF if interested in topic. There was a good book about the gal codebreakers in WWII

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.

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.

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

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

Have a library room in my basement.

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 ?

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.

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.

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.
