i read when i get the time. have been demolishin books at a rate of a novel every 2-3 days durin this break b4 uni. last yr was hard, spent most of the yr tryin 2 get through LOTR. as good as the movies, due to the differences it is unfair to judge otherwise.

a technicality would put the books in front due to the greater detail n depth.

me too...it might have something to do with the fact that we already read enough at uni and want to spend our spare time doing something else.

I've never been a big reader. Even when we had texts for school I would avoid it until the last minute.

The only things I read are the papers everyday, magazines and occasionally biographies and autobiographies....

Oh. And I adore reading Nigella Lawson's cookbooks. Best.Food Writer. Ever.

I never ever read books and never really have. I've only ever read a few books out of free will when I was younger. I haven't read a book not for school for at least 4 years now. It's just so slow and boring.

Reading is pleasure

See, i see it this way, it depends on what you are reading. The books the schools recommend us to read are full of crap. When i was in year 7 and 8, i hated reading. until harry potter came along. but then i moved on to more interesting stuff. i even started up a little group within my school. the books i read usually end up with the rest of my year groups aswell as younger audiences. A EXTREMELY GOOD READ if you are into romantic comedies is "Can you keep a secret?" by Sophie Kinsella.

reading is pure indulgent fun. im never without a book somewhere in my possession :p and even though some ppl hate school books i think they're cool because you get to read stuff you wouldnt normally out of your own choice. if u dont read then grab a book n get started *cracks whip*

me too :D I've been an avid reader since i was a kid anyway. I dont really agree with the view that all the stuff they make us read in school is a load of boring shti or whatever. I find myself often liking about 80% of the texts we have to study.

Loved reading ever since i was a kid. I think that the texts studied at school might not always be enjoyable at first but when you begin to go deeper into them - cant help but appreciate them for the cleverness (most of them anyway).
