READING!! Part 1

[slick]

There really is no category for what I read which is animal stories such as Watership Down and cat novels.

Other than that the only other books I read are tech manuals only because I have to on the job.

My eyes are really bad, but I've got new glasses coming so hopefully I'll come back in a week and check off some more.

Heinz57_79,

Have you tried the books by Jack Whyte I think his name is. They are suppose to be about King Arthur but they are set in Ancient Rome and are very interesting. A whole new spin to that story.

Holly's Mom,

I just finished Tami Hoag latest paperback Dark Horse. I think that and "A Thin Dark Line" were my two favs of hers.

i love reading and i read alot, though not as much as i would liek to during the school year. i read magazines, newspapers, horror and crime books. i read alot of fiction, but i'm very picky about whichi ones i like to read

[DJFyrewolf36]

I'm a fantasy nut. Right now *for like the 5th time lol* I'm reading "The Free Bards" by Mercades Lackey. She is one of my favorite fantasy authors. I also like Marion Zimer Bradley *New mists of Avalon stuff finaly came out this month, yay!* I also read a lot of sci-fi too, I've read more Star Trek related stuff than I care to remember. I read Starship Troopers, YES it is a book and the book kicks the movies tail but the movie admittely was pretty darn good. Enders Game is one of my faves too *the series went WAY downhill from there IMO* If anyone is a Sci-Fi nut here, you should read the Seafort Saga by David Feintouch *I think thats how its spelled* The first book is Midshipmans Hope. Good good good series with awesome character development.

Gee now that you all know that Im a total nerd...

I read lots of older american literature. F. Scott Fitzgerald is my favorite. I've read most of his books two or more times. Catcher in the Rye is one of my favorites too. My ABSOLUTE favorite book of all time*and one all you PTers should read I think lol* Is Call of the Wild. I have read that book probibly 100 or more times, literally .

I read a lot of magazines, mostly pet related or computer related. I also get a lot of trade catalogs with all sorts of nifty new computer stuff that I'll never be able to aford but I drool anyway. Then again there is the wide array of web sites I read *Thank you QSA for getting me addicted to Ettiqute Hell, I've almost read through the whole site *

I CANT stand the romance stuff. Most likely cause I feel like I can write better lol *I can't post it on here, its too X rated...but if anyone wants to see part of my little romance novel in progress, PM and let me know lol*

Sigh, I AM a book nerd. I've been reading since 3. Hey Richard, you forgot a Poetry checkbox!!!! I read a ton of that too!

Debbie is right, never ask a book person to discribe their reading
habbits...

*NOTE* Don't hate me cause I love sci fi

**Whine whine whine*** Richard!!

I'm with Zippy on this one - fiction and Sci-Fi TOGETHER!!!????

Like her - I hate Sci-Fi!!

I adore reading and have since I was 4 years old. My Mum used to say - I'd read anything - a book - a magazine - a packet of tea!!

I have so many favourite authors - most of them have been named already!! I think Jean Auel has been missed - so add her name to the 'list'! Oh and Dan Brown too!

I get through approx. 2-3 books a week - depending on how thick they are!

Does anyone do my trick when I'm reading a really good book - and try and read slower!!! It's daft I know and I can't do it for more than two pages - then I'm back at the gallop rate!


Great thread Richard

Lynne

PS DJ I can't hate you for liking Sc-Fi - Don adores Sci-Fi too!!

[DJFyrewolf36]

I've tried that Lynne...it doesn't work very well though!!! I try and try to slow down...but it lasts for like a page or two...

Do you find your brain moving way to fast at times lol?

I am a book-a-holic, always have a stack of books on my nightstand and usually read 2-3 books a week. This week I read 2 by James Patterson which were "When the Wind Blows" and "Lake House". I am half way through "Night-time is My Time" by Mary Higgins Clark because it is her latest and I read ALL of her books. I am pretty loyal to assorted authors and read everything they write like Dennis Lehane, Particia Cornwell, Kathleen Reichs, Karin Slaughter, Mary Higgins Clark, Ann Rule and Robin Cook. I also read biographies and certain commentators like Ann Coulter. I read everything by Garrison Keillor, too. Sometimes I go back to classics and re-read old favorites like Scarlet Letter, anything Ernest Hemingway or John Steinbeck. hmmm....On hold at the library I have The DaVinci Code. I will often see a movie based on a book and have to go read it like "Girl With A Pearl Earring" although in that case I had already read the book but went back to read it again. Also the case with YaYa Sisterhood which really followed the book "Little Altars Everywhere". Oh and I read every page of Readers Digest and Money Magazine
You asked!! Never ask a Book-a-holic unless you want a novela.

Sirrahbed, are you a fan of Garrison Keilor too? I enjoy listening to his monologues and I've read all his books! I have a cassette tape of his I'm listening to in the car!

I'm a diagnosed ADHD case...stupid brain running at full throttle when the body can only go at 1/4 speed...

I guess thats why I occupy my time with reading!! Although it gets pretty darn difficult reading two or three books at a time...

Does anyone else do that?

I think he is a HOOT! I became a fan when he had his radio show that went to TV - Prairie Home Companion was it?? Lake Wobegon?? The books read just like listening to him, too. I love the Lutheran jokes especially Oh and do you remember the old couple that stopped at a restaurant and he accidentally left her at the place???? You know the one I mean???? Cracks me up just thinking about it

[DJFyrewolf36]

Yay, at least I'm not alone, David!

I am in a Star Trek reading club. I met my husband AT one of the meetings and every guy I've dated except one was from the same dern club.

Help me I'm a hopeless nerd...

And love every dang minute of it!
