    What is your reading style??

    I thought this would be a fun thread! First, I started with a poll just to see if anyone accually likes reading, lol.

    So how, where, when do you like reading?

    I like reading in bed, in a car (Some people don't like it, but I think it's comfortable), or out side in the spring or summer. I also HATE it when everything is completely silent, some people say they like it that way but it bothers me. BUT, I hate it when people are talking while I'm reading--I get the words they are saying and the words in the book mixed up. SO, I like reading with music. And I don't really like it quiet either. I love the stereo or headphones BLASTING. It helps me focus, lol.

    So what about you??

    out of shape and a little worn around the edges, but they fit well."

    I love reading. I read voraciously, and am omnivorous about what I read. I can read in silence or with music or noise playing, or people talking. I can read any time, anywhere, yes - even in moving vehicles. Inside, oustide, day, night - it doesn't matter!

    I love to read, I just don't find as much time to as I would like. Like Karen, I don't mind if it is quiet or music or people talking, I get involved in my book and don't even notice what is going on around me.


    Thanks so much kittycats_delight for the beautiful siggy and avatar of my kids!

    Oh yes I love to read - always have. I can't read in a moving vehicle though, that makes me sick. I can usually read when there's noise and silence. I am usually able to tune everything out, although sometimes I have trouble when hubby's watching tv. Not ususlly though.

    I love to read, too. I am making a diligent effort to do it more often this year. Since I got married, 3 years ago, I read less and I have found that I miss it! I have so much catching up to do!

    Right now, I'm deep into the 4th Harry Potter book. It is LONG, but I'm enjoying it!

    My husband and I, we both LOVE reading! We buy lots of books, that is why we have a complete wall of books. We call it our library

    I read in bed, but usually nonfiction books, dog breed standards, and magazenes. IF I find a fiction story I like, I read it several times because it is so rare.

    I used to read a lot, and I love it. I don't know what happened to me lately, but haven't read a book in a while I really need to find a good book and start reading again...

    I voted yes because I do love to read. However my schedule doesn't allow as much reading time as I'd like.

    I LOVE to read! In fact, I'd be ashamed to tell you how many books are sitting on my nightstand right now. I'm not one to read one book, start another....I can read quite a few books at the same time and not get confused.

    Our library had a big book sale the other day and on the last day it was "Bag Sale" meaning you could put as many books as would fit in a paper bag and the whole bag was only $2.00! I got seven bags of books! It was great because I have at least a hundred (probably more) new books (new to me, actually used books) and the library earned a lot of money. It was a win-win situation.

    I love reading! I've loved it ever since I was little.

    Right now I'm reading Inkspell by Cornelia Funke.

  14. I cannot sleep at night unless I read. I read on airplanes, in cars (except when I am driving) on trains, at parties, at the dinner table. I once read while having surgery on my foot.

    It is my traquillizer. If I can read I can tolerate most anything. I do prefer silence when I am reading but can read in crowds such as airports. If there is music I prefer very soft, non-vocal.

    I have the attention span of a house fly; I can't even read a magazine article I'm interested in without getting annoyed!
