Do you read? If so, are you the only one you know who does?

I wonder sometimes if people who say they don't like reading fiction think so because they are just reading badly written books.

I read voraciously. Typically I have five books on the go at any given time, and I cannot go to sleep without some time with a book.

Among my circle there is another voracious reader, and a couple of hobby readers.

I am also in a book club at work, that broadens my literary horizons.

Yes, I can read. Everyone in my family can also read. I read a lot more than anyone in my family, however. My Amazon Kindle is responsible for that. It helps me read more comfortably than anything else (especially because I have Asperger's syndrome. My Kindle practically "disappears" in my hands, so I don't get distracted by anything else).

I love to read...nobody in my house does...except my father (I am married, live out of the country, never really see him much)...and we think very differently, so there's no discussing anything with him...he is extremely conservative and judgemental and I am the total opposite...hmmm...

I read and so do all my family menbers.

My mum and my sisters read whatever I bought recently and they enjoy most of the books.

My father usuakky reads big books that can last for months which are the kind of books I don´t like because when I finish a book I want to be able to remenber what happened at the start without having to read the book for a second time.


We don´t discuss the books we read most of the time, from time to time a family member asks me what should he-she read next during lunch and we start talking about books.

read a book n***a

But srsly. Yes I read a noticeable amount but it varies off month/stage of life the extent or genre. I.e. I did most of legacy of the force novels [8 books] in less than a month [well within this summer]and did some of them in less than 24 hrs [well one of them actually]. Btw legacy of the force is part of the huge star wars verse...and reading them shows that. But I might/do alternate to other science fiction' historical stuff' political related s**t etc etc etc.......

Also stuff off the net which I count. Papers articles research etc

No I am not the only person. My mother reads uh 'romance' novels [zane and stuff]. And some thriller/drama stuff. Her boyfriend reads some more political stuff not a lot but I don't ask him a lot re that due to issues...oh and of course people I know off the net like cpj1227/dartg-synge [he is my n***a]. And ya'll here on wrongplanet + other people on other forums.

Weee posting this on a cellular device ican tell the difference.

I'm reading right now.

I usually read in spurts, few books in a row and then I don't read anything for a couple months.

My mom reads like 10+ books a month it seems, don't know where she gets the time. My friend reads a lot more than me too but he doesn't have internet so I can't blame him. Other than that tho, not too many big readers.
