Does anyone read books anymore?

[A.I.]

I'm just wondering in this digital age does anybody here, apart from Harry Potter fanatics and cardigan wearing bookworms, bother to read actual books anymore?

 

[mudlord]

Yes. I know I still do.

 

[Toasty]

I used to read books quite a bit, but now most of my reading is done online. At least I can still read.

 

[A.I.]

I confess, I just read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows only so I know what happens in the final film before someone ruins it by revealing Lord Voldemort farts and kills everyone...kidding.

 

[Doomulation]

Sure! Great to have with you when you're not at the computer!

 

[JKKDARK]

No, I use Internet now

 

[2fast4u]

uh...i spend most of my free time reading. probably the reason why my interest in computer games has decreased to zero by now. currently nietzsche's zarathustra and camus' l'home révolté

That´s a very good question...I have to admit that i don´t read so much books anymore, it is just Donald books for me...That....kinda counts...But some time back i read A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, fantastic book, i read it almost two times...But that was a e-book....Seems i´m stuck at the beginning then...

I am reading a book that some Hare Krishna dude sold to me on the street.

I certainly still read books. In fact, I don't remember a time when I _wasn't_ in the middle of reading some book in the last 10 years or so.

 

[A.I.]

I write more than I read, whether I'm posting on some obscure porn site or here. Actually, I'm in a middle of writing a book, called Hairy Twatter and the Chamber of Pussy. I figured if J.K Rowling can do it so can I!

Books are not for me..

I never enjoyed reading novels or plays in School, so I don't now. I do read e-journals, non-fiction eBooks, online debates etc. though. Haven't read an actual printed book in years (besides stuff I have produced myself).

I usually just read whatever I have to read. There have been some decent books I have read for school. I do however take this class at the end of the year, and I get to read whatever I want.

The two books I have actually liked were A Brief History in Time by Stephen Hawking, and Digital Fortress by Dan Brown.

I'm a slow reader when it comes to books, but when I read Digital Fortress, I have to say, it was the fastest I have ever read 350 pages. Its good if you like Action/hacker/mystery/conspiracy/love stories. It's a little dumbed down for those less computer literate, but its really good none the less.

Books, books... are they edible?

 

[Doomulation]

Well, yes and no, I suppose! You can eat them, if you like eating paper. Though I doubt they were made for that purpose... were they?

 

[FlotsamX]

Ummm... to be quite honest, I'm not really "compatible" with most books. If anything, I like science fiction the most, I suppose.

 

[t0rek]

I always read for Uni, lot of psychoanalysis stuff...

 

[A.I.]

Call me weird but I sometimes print out stuff here that I may need for future reference, like Glide/Rice settings, etc. It makes it easier and more accesible reading it on paper. Afterwards I flush...

I've never been a book person, I have a very limited attention span when it comes to books. Probably cause I never really looked for a decent book. I'm a tv person and prefer to watch something rather than read about it, unless it's manga which I find as interesting as tv.
