***pls do not move this thread into into the 'other' entertainment forum, i do not tend to look there***

do u read a lot? what do u read?

doing eng lit at a level and the woman scared me @ interview by saying you need to read a lot and she doesnt read in class so itll be independent reading a lot. by the sounds of it everyone that will sign up for her class will be really big readers and im scared im gna fall behind instantly lol.

so for the next 11 days i am going to have my own reading fest and try and get through all of the books i always buy from waterstones purely to display on the bookshelf lol... i have a habit of book shopping i really like it and would prefer it over clothes shopping lol

i also realllllllly wanna get

I don't read a lot but I do like to read books. I'm into murder mysteries mainly.

Yes. I read Frankenstein this year and absolutely loved it so I've started battling through Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, etc. Really enjoying them! Plus I've just started the first Game of Thrones so I'll have to wade through those as well

In general, I'll read anything really. I can't stand Young Adult fiction anymore though. I used to be the first in there when the next Hunger Games was coming out or whatever, but now the characters' attitudes just make me so bored because they're all just copies of each other. Authors either go down the hopeless, useless Bella Swan route or down the strong, independent Katniss Everdeen route. Haven't seen anything original from YA in so long now

I like going to the bookshop and just browsing anywhere; I'll quite happily spend an afternoon down there. I've found the best way to find a new book is to pick up something I'd never normally think of and give the blurb a go anyway. That's how I discovered my favourite book (When God Was a Rabbit, if you're interested).

well yeah if you're doing english literature you're gonna have to read sharon!
i don't read a lot. i mostly read articles and forums. i'll only really read if it's something that is completely to my tastes, so that book i would definitely read. can't get into fiction books other than manga aha, manga just speaks to me.

I read all the time yeah books are fantastic, the teacher's prob lying if she says there won't be in-class reading though because quite frankly A level Eng lit isn't deep enough for there to be enough work to do in class without wasting a bit of time with group reading

[lawrawrrr]

Not recently. I do love doing it but barely ever have time ;'(

I used to read a lot, not so much more nowadays.

Then again, that was books. I read articles/online everyday.

[Jurv]

nope not vey much but i'm slowly getting into it a lot more

[Bloop]

i love reading but hvnt read for a while now

still go crazy and even skip meals just to read a book tho

I read every single day, but if we're talking strictly about books, then mainly just every now and then when a book I'm interested in is released. Although I'm about to start on my massive reading list for Uni next year, which is strange, because I've never had a reading list before, so not entirely sure how that's going to go.
