&&. Ect

I also read manga. Though lately i have been pretty short with it..

I've read/still reading:
-Fruits Basket

I also read lame gossip magazines occasionaly. Just for fun. Sometimes just to laugh at celebs or do quiz and read horescopes.


So everyone, what do you read ?
What helps you pick a book to read? The title ? The cover? The Author ?
Are you a fast reader ?
How many books you can read by...day? month? year ?

-I read mostly science fiction/fantasy. With a drizzle of mystery/thriller like Koontz
-Two favorite authors atm it was the cover art that initially caught my eye. Jody Lee & Royo <3<3 aside from that I will usually pick up a book if I know of the author but havent read much of their stuff (Wheel of Time / Ender series come to mind) or if for whatever reason the caption on the back piques my interest.
-I like to think Im a fast reader. To sort of incorporate the next question: how fast I finish a book and how often I get new books is usually restricted by my work schedule and a lack of a car for going places. Gimme a day of nothing to do and a 400+pg book and Im in heaven.

Steven King is pretty much my hero. 'Nuff said.

Me too!

I read the Clique. Not that I'd ever act like that, buying 300 dollar shirts and then deciding you "Look too fat" in them, and throwing them out.
I just love reading them!
The last book comes out in August! I'm sad. D: I wish the author would make more.

I read a variety of books. Lately I've turned to the Vampire/Romance and the "Teen Girls" Type of books like

-New Moon
-Ready or Not
-Princess Diarys


Stuff like that. But I like it anyways. There are also awesome books that I read like:

-Blood and Chocolate
-You Don't Know Me

I like those, but I mainly read the Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark-Hunter series. I'm really girly when it comes to books. Main genre: romance heart

Think of it as escaping reality by entering reality backwards. It confuses way more people and has less social stigma.

anyone read Discworld by Terry Pratchett???? Thos books are perfect! Love them more than any other books. Ever
PostPosted: Fri Jun 15, 2007 6:18 am


I have alot of manga. I'm not even going to list them. gonk My personal favourite is Confidential Confessions, however.

I love reading war stories. Especially World War II. Memoirs are the best. <3

I read such a huge variety. I read Judy Blume sometimes, as well. Since my mom forces her books on me. xd I end up liking them, anyway.

I really want to read Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. But my mom got all pissy about it 'cause it's basically about a ***** definetly reading it when I'm older, though.
