well...what do you think? (-sigh- here comes the 'no's)

Definitely!

I constantly read books. I often find myself lost in the world of literature, sometimes just to escape from the real one.

Pft...of course they're a form of entertainment! Realize that this was entertainment back in the day...I mean, they had nothing to do but read. It was great because everyone read...told stories...et cetera. It makes me sad when I hear people say they hate to read. sad.gif

Agreed.

I'm a self-proclaimed bookworm. I read the labels on the back of shampoo bottles when I'm in the shower too. biggrin.gif

haha, I was going to say that. I know 20+ people around my area who hate to read. I think I'm like the only one who likes to read.

Anyway, I think books are a form of entertainment. I mean, come on! They are like TV except much more better. Also, some TV shows and movies are based on books. Also, I think fantasy is FAR more interesting than reality in my life.

I don't read books all that often anymore because of school getting in the way, but when I have some free time on weekends and over the summer I tend to read a pretty good amount of books.
annchovie
why wouldnt it? unless its forced on you..like a book that you dont want to read, for say, english class...
kraziegrl
it depends what the book is.. if its dull then pshh i wont pay attention _smile.gif but usally for me, as i read mroe and more the book gets intersting.. [unless the author sucks]

I used to read like a book everyday in middle school but since high school, I don't have time anymore. Now it takes like two whole months to finish a book...
starling
i'm such a book addict. i read whatever i can get my hands on.

and i'll definitely go back and read the book if i see a movie based on that book, because the book is usually a million times better than the movie. usually.
LatinaLady

OMG. im gonna stand up for the 'no' people. NO! Books are a burden. I hate reading to the fullest. My mouth hurts after I read. My mind is like.. ooooww. And even if I read, my class couldnt keep up with me. I read faster than the speed of light. tv and movies are the new books. they say words. my eyes dont like to go right and left every half second. pinch.gif

I'm glad I'm not the only one =) I like reading. When I was in third grade, I got in trouble a lot for reading when I wasn't supposed to. Reading is fun, especially when it's full of suspense and stuff. The only book that made me mad was the 5th Harry Potter book. Not because of the content though. It was too heavy, and I couldn't put it down...
*Nina*Renee*
ya sometimes, when its a real good book (but i barely read EVER)
chikken_curry
i love to read...i just read this book called 'speak' and that was awesomeee..the catcher in the rye is probably one of my favorites.
mznina
when i think of readin a book it sounds like dred..but once im into it..i never want to put the book down.
kirbymuixo
books are really fun to read! instead of watching a movie on a tv screen...im watching a movie of the book in my head...and the best thing is, i get to create it myself! happy.gif
sweetlyz
sometimes .. i agree with mznina .. when i think about reading a bOok i feel bored already. but once i get into it i get really interested and i won`t stop so i end up finishing it within a day or two. hehe
pink_luva
haha yea books are entertaining. well good books anyway
LaZazn
I don't like books. When people say 'book', I think of text books. And when I think of text books, I think of homeworks. When I think of homeworks, I go crazy.

That's why I don't like books. And mangas arent book, they're manga...
Note
well...some losser think there not and i f-ing diss them. so all you p.p.l start reading! -dang- got a book report to do!
triipinfserious

NostalgicRockChick
I really do enjoy reading and I used to read tons. Now with tons of school projects and stuff, I haven't quite had the time. Oh well... The last books i read i got two months ago. Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident, and the Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (yay Sherlock Holmes.. lol)

moved to interests -> books forum
insanityislaughing
Books are the greatest form of entertainment. They just give you this great tingly sensation when you finish them, nothing like the sensation you get when you finish watching a TV show. Baha. I love reading.
ranniel
sometimes, they can get boring. I feel like falling asleep when I dislike a book, yet somehow I am forced to read it. yawn.gif
Crich323
When I have enough time.
I've currently been reading books like crazy, but I do have my months when I go without reading one book. Busy busy busy.
scenekidsgo__rawr

I'm a total nerd.
Tribal J_Rome
Most definitely, reading books is like watching a movie in my head.
maryissa
Sometimes it can entertain me. Its only entertaining if i like what im reading. But if i dont get it or its boring its not that entertain.

tokyo-rose
Yes, definitely. I read very often; it's been one of my favorite things to do ever since I was a kid.

Yes, especially books by Janet Evanovich (sp?)
KissMe2408
I love reading books, def found them as a source of entertainment.
At times I prefer them over movies. . .
something really awesome about sitting down with a book
that you just can't stop reading.
