Do you actually like reading books?

Yes, I'm an obsessive bibliophile.

And...sorry to sound so old and boring, but it's depressing to see people not reading books. Too many kids get most of their knowledge of current affairs and their understanding of politics/ethics from Facebook posts or Twitter.

Nothing wrong with using modern technology to improve knowledge of anything, there is masses of information I know that I've seen on twitter or facebook or just online in general, stuff that unless I bought three, at least, newpapers a day, some from abroad let alone in the UK, or bought hundreds more £10-£20 books I wouldn't know.

As it is I love reading, I'm currently going through Tony Benn's diaries, and I have a few other books ready to read once I finish the diaries. I'm learning so much from the books as well, stuff I wouldn't learn online, but there is also a lot I won't read in these books that I could learn online about politics, ethics and current affairs.

Alistair Campbell's diaries I recommend too. Still want to read Benn's one but alas, uni reading is always in the way.

I plan to read, diaries wise at least, Chris Mullin's diaries next, Alistair Campbell's diaries is on my radar however as one I need to read. I also really want to read a tory's diaries, just to get another view on parliament and such
