Do you still read BOOKS ? - GoFuckYourself.com - Adult Webmaster Forum
When I was younger, I used to read... ok, maybe not a lot, but still not a small number of books...
Now I realized, that with being online so much I can't just find motivation or interest to read anything (despite having time for it).
I guess it's because I can READ lots of interesting stuff online but perhaps it has to do with laziness/shorter attention span as well.
I am reading one now by Carl Hiaassen called SKINNY DIP
Synopsis
What a howler. Reminiscent of Mickey Spillane, Carl Hiassen's Skinny Dip starts with crooked sleeze-ball Charles Perrone throwing his wife off a cruise ship miles away from the coast of Florida. Unbeknownst to Chaz, his wife Joey, was a champion swimmer and athlete in college, and turning her fall into a dive, survives the fall, swims to near exhaustion, eventually latches on to a floating bale of marijuana, and is picked up out of the ocean by a retired cop Mick Stranahan. Joey doesn't understand why Chaz tried to kill her and spends the bulk of this hilarious story with Stranahan figuring out why and taking revenge by driving her husband crazy. The book is filled with great character sketches - Tool, a pain-killer addicted hired thug who gets reformed by the terminally ill old lady whose meds he tried to steal, Red Hammernut, the agribusiness tycoon who is paying off Chaz to falsify water quality records so he can keep his polluting enterprise up and running, and Karl Rolvaag, the homicide detective who keeps two albino pythons and when they escape is disturbed when the yappy dogs of neighbors go missing.
Joey is a force to be reckoned with, and gives new meaning to the saying, "don't get mad, get even." Boy does she and how.
I have a small book shelf next to my bed and have countless supply of books in the queue to be read... to answer question, yes. I do read books. I usually read more than one at a time though and just pick em up as i feel interested...
Its really good to relax away from the net with a book. do it more often and your eyes and mental health will thank you.

I read that a couple of years ago - fast enjoyable read
I still read books. I have one for outside, one for each car and the Kindle for everywhere else. Unless I find a book I can't put down I usually keep about 6-8 of them going at once that I'm reading. And magazines. And cereal boxes if there's nothing else to read.
I used to read all the time.. tons of books and most of the time would read 4 to 5 new books a week.. then I got married, had kids, become a webmaster, etc and it all ended... actually, it ended the minute my wife was living with me, lol
Now the only books I read are non fiction, reference, etc... But not cover to cover.. just sections with the info I need at whatever particular moment
