i dont like books. i love them!! They are my best buddies. Whenever I read a book, I'm lost in a different world/time/space/adventure. I dont feel like I live where I live. I'm driven to a different world. Of course i love the Harry Potter series, but one of my favorites is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. GREAT book. Another very good book is Feed by M.T. Anderson. And another one by that same author is Thisrty (its about a boy who's turning into a vampire from his perspective.) Another good, classic book is The Secret Garden. Catalyst by Laurie Halse Anderson is very good, also.

As you can see, I'm a book worm! If I'm not reading a book, I feel depressed and lonely, b/c the charachters in the books are like my second friends happy.gif READ! Its fundamental. tongue.gif

^ Yeah, me too.

Reading relaxes me. I like being in another place once in a while.

I love it when it's cold outside and snowing and I'm sitting at the Starbucks in Barnes&Noble just reading and drinking coffee.
think!IMAGINARILY
^ I listen to CDs at Barnes & Noble. mellow.gif

Nyeh. I don't like books that much. Maybe a book on theoretical science by Brian Greene once in a while, but I don't really read books. I find them long and boring.

Do I actually like books? What kind of question is that? Of course I like books. You should get your non-reading arse out of this forum. *Points*

I love reading, I've been reading these books since I started school and I get asked almost every day by someone new asking me how I like to read. I read at lunch instead of eating most of the time too.

I like sci fi, fantasy, teen fiction, adult books, mystery, horror, christian fiction, etc.

^I have to agree with Kathleen, if you didn't like to read you wouldn't be here. This requires reading, although I'm sure most of us pin pointed that he meant books, which makes you a bad person because then you would be failing school more than likely. laugh.gif

Actually, lackadaisical teachers and SparkNotes make not reading and passing class quite simple. laugh.gif
