BV · 12-27-2005, 01:42 PM

i have not read a real book since college over 20 years ago.

but i do watch a lot of educational programming as well as read a lot of trade magazines and periodicals, and of course the interweb

**gornyhuy** · 12-27-2005, 01:45 PM

I read fiction all the time, almost every night before bed... and I read marketing/computer/engineering/programming books occasionally, more as a reference, I also read various martial arts/excercize/philosophy books occasionally.

been sacrificing sleep for reading since I was a kid.

**INever** · 12-27-2005, 02:04 PM

I read sometimes. I'm reading

The Search by John Battelle.

About search and Google.

**Violetta** · 12-27-2005, 02:33 PM

It's been a while since I've read a good old book! That's a shame...

Always buisy!

**Bluewire Ross** · 12-27-2005, 02:39 PM

newspapers and fiction books...

**Brandon99** · 12-27-2005, 02:49 PM

Last book I finished was Angels and Demons. I'm about to start on The DaVinci Code. I would like to finish it before the movie comes out.

**Libertine** · 12-27-2005, 02:51 PM

Books are teh suck.

**LittleMack** · 12-27-2005, 02:52 PM

I read alot of Dean Koontz and other horror writers.

**slapass** · 12-27-2005, 02:59 PM

I read Freakonomics last night. Great book.

**tristan_D** · 12-27-2005, 03:18 PM

I always read the morning papers and I try to check out the book store every month for some new novels.

**2HousePlague** · 12-27-2005, 03:21 PM

I write more than I read. I read mostly when I shit, which is when you might say I "consume" all my literature -- and then it's usually Academic, Theoretical or trans-genre stuff like Castaneda.

reading magazines on the shitter rocks!

**BigCashCrew** · 12-27-2005, 03:25 PM

I try to read history an hour a day. If it's not history, it is something that will teach me something new and interesting.

**Fizzgig** · 12-27-2005, 03:27 PM

I stopped reading recreationally 2 kids ago. I plan to start up again when the first ones move out.

**cool1** · 12-27-2005, 04:00 PM

I read all the time I am not online or sleeping.
right now I am reading 2 older SFI books "The Race For God - Brian Herbert" and "Rizza And Tregare 3 part saga - part 2".

**uno** · 12-27-2005, 04:06 PM

I think the last recreational book I read was Contortionist's Handbook

The author of Fight Club has a quote on the jacket saying it was his favorite book in 5 to 10 years. Really great and twisted.

**reynold** · 12-27-2005, 04:16 PM

The last time I remembered reading a book was when my cousin brought home an Ayn Rand book and forgot it upon leaving..

good read! I'm done with Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons.

**pornguy** · 12-27-2005, 04:22 PM

I read all the time. I read multiple books at the same time. I have reading: Iceburg by Clive Cussler. Also: The rise and Fall of Adolph Hitler. Also: The Cival war books. 3 of them on book 1 right now. Also: Op's Center

Once I get the rest of the Harry Potter books, I will read them as well.

**shermo** · 12-27-2005, 04:23 PM

Aside from magazines... Never.

**seeric** · 12-27-2005, 04:24 PM

i need to get angels and demons.

theres also a book that i want to get the disspells heaven and hell. explains all the "why they don't exist" things.

that'd be a good read.

**Vitasoy** · 12-27-2005, 05:10 PM

I read up on a lot of news, but I haven't hit the books.

**american pervert** · 12-27-2005, 05:17 PM

I get 1 weekly mag in the mail, national review, and I read about 2-3 books a month, more depending on how much I travel. if I"m flying around I can easily read half a book per flight if not an entire book depending on where I am going.

**american pervert** · 12-27-2005, 05:18 PM

oh, and I stick to reading non fiction. once in a while I will read a fiction book but not that often.

**aimeesweet** · 12-27-2005, 05:30 PM

I love to read, it's actually one of my favorite things to do.

**blazi** · 12-27-2005, 05:30 PM

I read a lot of articles, mostly tech news and stuff

**sexgayfree** · 12-27-2005, 05:35 PM

Me too. I read all kind of book can I find, from philosophy to sf and cyberpunk (I love it), from old greek and latin litterature to "blockbuster" books.

Reading reading reading always reading

**LittleSassy** · 12-27-2005, 07:00 PM

yep same here. i love to read classical novels, some documentaries, sci fi etc....

**MattO** · 12-27-2005, 07:02 PM

I read constantly, and now that I have an e-book reader on my PSP, I don't use "real" books any more. It's nice to have a crapload of books in your pocket.

**seeric** · 12-27-2005, 07:06 PM

thats true matt.

i need to get that. newsgroups are full of em

**WonderWoman** · 12-27-2005, 07:08 PM

I have become so bad on the reading in the last 5-6 years. I have turned to audio books as a second best solution but I am so embarrassed to say that I don't read.

I do a lot of my reading and educational stuff online and on tv. Internet has saved many trees perhaps.

**viki** · 12-27-2005, 07:11 PM

I go through reading spurts where I'll read every night for a month or so, then I drop the habit for about three months.

**Wiggles** · 12-27-2005, 07:20 PM

i read daily, just started 'freakenomics', i used to read a shitload more but online work has curbed alot of that.

**Spunky** · 12-27-2005, 07:24 PM

Newspapers and the occasional book

**Doctor Dre** · 12-27-2005, 07:26 PM

I read at least a book a month nowdays... at least ;)

**sfera** · 12-27-2005, 08:04 PM

what i read is mostly online now

**PixeLs** · 12-28-2005, 12:11 AM

Daily newspaper and entertainment magazines once or twice a week.

**reed_4** · 12-28-2005, 12:59 AM

Everymorning I always read my favorite books. I see to it that I read atleast an hour before going to work.

**phogirl69** · 12-28-2005, 01:01 AM

i only read magazines and tabloids...

Linked - The New Science Of Networks

**G-Rotica** · 12-28-2005, 11:53 AM

**bjjb** · 12-28-2005, 11:58 AM

I used to read ALL the time. But the older I get I might pick up a book that looks interesting maybe every 6 months

**Rui** · 12-28-2005, 12:06 PM

I really want and need to read alot more, and its not like I lack reading matterial, already got a pile of books to check :/

Its one of my resolutions for 2006

**axelcat** · 12-28-2005, 12:07 PM

I am exhausted after reading a full day of the internet

**Quotealex** · 12-28-2005, 12:36 PM

I read two newspapers per day, one fiction book a week and a few non-fiction books per month. I hate reading anything over 1,000 words online, I guess I'm still old school.

That can be fixed, i did it in the past and will do now again..

Start filtering those sites that while entertaining are nothing but procastinating-heavens (risk GFY of that list if you use it for business in any way or shape

)

**seeric** · 12-30-2005, 08:50 AM

true on all points. i will put down the internet for at least 2 hours a day and grab a hard copy book and sit quietly.

great for the brain.
