I might also note that extended reading is good for your bladder. Helps build stamina.

Where did I go right?
I've always been a keen reader really, ever since I was young at least. I enjoy reading most things but one of my fav all time books has gotta be Angelas Ashes. Absalutley brilliant book.

Angelas Ashes, the first 100+ pages are sad, but if you can make it past that, it is a good well written book however it is a sad book. The Color Purple is another book that if you can make it through about the 1st 150-200 pages is a good book but you really have to get past all of the misspelled words and lack of grammer however that is also what the Author had in mind with the the way the book was written. The writting gets better the further you get in the book the change in slow but it is there.

fuck that duck
I've read every book in the world. So I don't read much anymore.

Strip Tease For Me, Baby / Tie Me To The Bed, Dear
I read too much and too fast. A 900 page book can last me one day, and thats with stops to snack and cook supper, then back to reading... I've read a crap load full of romance books that did nothing but fill my time, but I prefer fantasy now a days. Pratchett, McCaffrey, Lackey, Pierce writers like that... I've got a load of books coming in the mail now actually, by Robin Hobb and a few others.

I sometimes read the Buffy and Angel books but they often tend to get abit boring aswell-generally seems to be the same old stuff

Does reading on the internet constitute 'reading'? We could argue that in this digital medium of ours, we could be reading roughly just as much, only we don't read solely the conventional form.

"It gives you a sense of what we value - in the UK or US if you haven't read a book in the bestseller list, you would be socially dead."

I wish reading was so important here.

The Color Purple is another book that if you can make it through about the 1st 150-200 pages is a good book

I can't stand that book. Particularly Nellies section, which is basically just a lump of pointless plot seemingly shoved in there for no reason.

a swell guy.
I went through all the classics by age twelve -- Robinson Caruso, Swiss Family Robinson, The Mysterious Island (kind of a pattern there, hmm) Kidnapped, On the Back of the North Wind, etc.
your definition of "classics" varies greatly from mine...
so he's posting again.
cough, cough.
