Books, Books, and More...Books
How many of you pick up a book from time to time for leisure reading? Right now I've found myself engaged in a book called "Me Times Three". It's a new book. Definately written with a light heart and a good sense of humor. What's got your attention?

I'm big on Fantasy/Sci Fi.
I'm on a series called The WHeel of Time. it's 9 books long so far and it aint finished. also i really like a book called the Reality Dysfunction. Sci fi but a really cool subject dealing with existence. it has two books following it in the series.

I just finished reading the Harry Potter series and they were great! I am currently reading Lord of the Rings as I have never read it before.
 One of my all time favourite books has got to be The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe though.

I am a readeraholic. I read anything and everything I can get my hands on. I haven't build a house yet (just condo ownership), but when I do, the biggest room will probably be the library for all the books I have. There are thousands of books and thousands of magazines. Shoot, I have every issue of Scientific American for the last 23 years and usually have them read within two days of getting them.
Read read read read read - its a wonderful thing. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

Like Yogs I'm an avid reader too. I can't even begin to list all the books I've read.
Right now I'm reading a great book by Neil Stephenson. _Snow_Crash_ I suggest if you like sci-fi to check it out. Also another book of his _Cryponomicon_ is top notch! I'm also big into fantasy. FTO Girl: If you like Harry Potter and would like to read something a little more 'adult' then try the Song of Fire and Ice series (my personal fave) by George R.R. Martin. The first book in that series is _A_Game_of_Thrones_. Also anything by Robert Jordan (Sword of Truth series) and Terry Goodkind (Wheel of Time series). All excellent fantasy writers. I could go on but I'll spare you all! |

A book I just picked up that was recommended, The Stranger by Albert Camus. It’s a short read that deals with existentialism and the death penalty.

Books are not
 I only read when I have or want to learn something, like computer books. I dont think I ever read a complete book back in high school. Do cliffs notes count as books? |
