i like all those teen-romance novels! some are so sweet, while others are way too sappy. i dunno i find them pretty cool at how much they can really be like the highschool dating and friends scene.

i read just about anything i can get my hands on, really. right now i'm reading the 'wheel of time' books, but then i'm gonna re-read Emma. it kinda depends on what kind of mood i'm in. i'm dangerous when i go to the bookstore--i might never leave.

i actually wore out a library card once. i had it so long and use it so much that it just kinda died on me. well, that was before we used plastic bar-code type cards (waaay back in the day) -- but the bar code on my new card is starting to go too.

have you head about bookcrossing.com ? you read a book, then leave it somewhere for someone else to read. but you 'tag' the book, and when someone finds it, they go the the website and punch the ID number in, and you can find out where your book came from--kinda like 'where's george' for books! then they can leave the book somewhere else, and someone picks it up, etc., etc.
yeah, so that was kinda random.

I LOVE russian literature. But I read pretty much anything and everything. Except for the books assigned by my english teachers, I often find those very dull and hard to finish.

I think the favorite book type is Religious and biography ...
Because religion is the most important thing in our life, and biography to learn people better. |

I like realistic fiction, fantasy and historical fiction the most.
Dan Brown writes good thrillers/mysteries though. Some of my favorite books have been: The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow - Orson Scott Card Speak - Laurie Halse Anderson Under the Tuscan Sun - ??? Yup, I like to read. |

I'll read almost anything as long as it's entertaining. I usually read fiction, because it's so easy to get lost it.
 But I've read some really good nonfiction too. I've had a problem with finishing books though. The past frew I've read I just haven't finished. So I put them in my closet and I'm going to restart them in about a year or so.

I've been interested in a lot of futuristic, Big Brother, controlling government type things lately (there's got to be a better way to describe that, but oh well). However, I'll read most things. I've read a great deal of historical fiction, which was nice, since it got me through history without barely opening a textbook for years. Sci-fi / fantasy's nice so long as it's not particularly lame, but I can only handle mysteries in particularly small quanitities.

I read pretty much anything, as long as it's enthralling. Neil Gaiman's sci-fi/fantasy stuff gets me, as does David Sedaris's and Augusten Burroughs's memoirs and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.'s satire. Great literature comes in all forms.
