subject says it all...

i'm always reading a book. How fast it gets finished depends on how interested i am.

If one really grabs me, i have been known to slaughter a thousand-pager in a week.

I'm usually reading several simultaneously. I'm currently reading 2 physical books (one hardcover for lunch and sit-down times, one paperback for slipping into a pocket and carrying with me), and I usually have an audio book going in the car for my commute.

that is alot. anyone reading all days?

I've got to the state that I see people on the bus who are staring out the window or listening to music, and wonder to myself how boring that would be. Books are so much better than movies, more informative, educational, imaginative and detailed. I have pretty well given up on movies and TV, as I get restless and think I would prefer to be reading.

johnson1010 do you always read a book then we have something in common i do too. how manny have yo read so far?

I am also always reading a book. Sometimes several, but right now I am so charmed with the current one that I will stick to that.

I also love movies and t.v. Movies are not very good anymore but then they were not always so good in the olden days either. I love the escapism of movies. Time was they helped me a great deal.

Robert you are lucky if you can read in a moving vehicle. That nauseates me. Also what you say reminds me of a theme from a very good movie. Both about looking out the window of the bus and movies themselves.

There is a movie called "Smoke" with Harvey Keitel. It takes place in Brooklyn and he owns a smoke shop. Every day at the same time he goes outside and takes a photograph of the front of his shop. This is a very good movie and everyone learns a lot from looking at the photographs.

As often as someone recommends a new one to me.

Not enough. I had a few not so hot books in a row and actually stopped for 2 weeks. Magazines took over and wow, I sure got over that impluse pretty fast. Back to the novel and loving every word!

Whenever I manage! Though once when I was a teenager I read nearly a whole year not any book, because I just had read one which I liked so much that nothing else interested me. Funny thing is: I don't remember the title or author or anything about this special book that made me stop reading.

This "whenever I manage" is very general - and so it is. Sometimes I am one of those guys who stand in a bus with a book in front of their nose. Or I am sitting at home in my rocking chair like an old grandmother with a cup of tea next to me. I once even spent my vacation in the midlands reading, though I even had booked a holiday home at casamundo. Afterwards I wondered why I didn't stay at home reading. Though I don't take enough time to read, my home looks like a mess - everywhere are books. Like at this picture at thomasfortenberry.net. I have to buy more bookshelfs.
