i used to be forced to read a lot when i was younger - then i had difficulties completing a book for a while (i get easily distracted :p:

) but now im back to reading and enjoying a good book, especially now i have more time on my hands
and have worked out what type of book i actually like
so, the last book i read was 'eleven minutes' by paulo cohelo which i finished this morning :biggrin:

I love reading sooo much. At the moment I'm into a guy named "richard feynmann", who won the nobel prize in physics in 1965, and writes very interesting stories about his life. :biggrin:

Is this thread a piss take? I don't understand how people could not read books, no wonder most the people in the country are uncultured oiks. Surely at some point you just have to read a book for some reason or other, otherwise how would you ever know anything?

It's pretty obvious it's not a piss take.
I think the thread title is a little ****ty though, and 'Have you read a book recently' would have been more accurate (going by the 1st thread).

Apart from textbooks when was the last time you read a book ?

Don't be ashamed if it's a loooong time, I'm suspecting people hardly read books these days.

Are you kidding me? I absolutely love reading, I'd probably die without reading LOL ever since my parents locked me in my bedroom when I was about 12 with a copy of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' ive loved reading. But I havent read anything since I started revising like two months ago, last book I think I read was Angels and Demons :smile:

speaking of which can anyone recommend me my next read?

Haha, its been atleast 2 years since I even attempted to read a book and about 3 years since I completed one- even then It was only an autobiography.
Im one of those people who has a genuine dislike for reading, I just cant get into books I feel bored almost instantly. No matter how well its writtern or how interesting it is (in terms of subject matter), I just dont really care what happens next or what might happen and cant be bothered in general.

Whenever I do read, it has to be non- fiction.

Last night for me (Misfortune). Wanted to read for longer, but started to fall asleep (not 'cause the book is boring). :biggrin:

I also very rarely go out without a book on me, my reading levels are going to drop dramatically if I ever learn to drive.

Read none after GCSEs but i really should to improve my vocabulary. I don't read because everytime I try to read books (including textbooks), i fall asleep with 5-10minutes of reading the book.

I go through sporadic bouts of reading, I could read four or five substantial books in a month sometimes and then I might go 3months without reading at all.

I'm currently reading my way through the Harry Potter books in order to prepare myself for the new one coming out, I don't think I'll buy it until I've reread the other 6. I'd like to point out I don't normally read childrens books, Harry Potter happens to be an exception.

reading one on Stalin's hangmen atm, along with 1905 by Trotsky. the last story book was about 2 weeks ago: some short stories by Tolstoy.

the last really good book i read was the devils by Dostoevsky. i get very annoyed because i read quite slowly though :frown:

Tell me you don't just read Russian or Rusian orrientated only literature. :smile:

The Devils was OK but it had to many characters to keep track of, endings good though.

I'm surprised how many people here prefere non- fiction to fiction. I very rarely meet people in rl who read non- fiction in their spare time. I have to admit, most of the non- fiction books i've read are for school, except for the odd biographies. I've read some popular Science, but don't think i finished any of them :redface:

. Personally i find fiction a lot more interesting, especially fantasy.

Have you read a book ?
