Ahhhh... audiobooks, if only you were all voiced by Morgan Freeman, his manly voice carrying me through my life...mandaforever said:

Sorry i was trailing off there.
Anyway, i've always had a mixed relationship with audiobooks.
(i'm sure i did something there, but i'm not sure what...)
I try and read at least every other day. I'm a total book fanatic and I'm currently reading the second book in the Kingkiller Chronicles: The Wise Man's Fear. I love Kvothe.
I get through 2, maybe 3, books a week, with a variety of genres and topics. Though I'm not prepared to continue reading books I've lost interest in (when I could be reading something that is interesting) so I chop and change till I find titles that suit me; there's no point in making such a leisure activity painful or wearying.
I should point out that I don't buy many of these books but rather I use local libraries an awful lot. Library provision in the big cities of the UK is generally ok but I'd like to know what others' experiences with their local libraries are.

ya, if only Morgan Freeman could narrate every audiobook...I'm sure a lot more people would buy them XDSizzle Montyjing said:
Last year I read about 100 books (not including manga - I was hooked on Air Gear and Elemental Gelade and Suikoden III), so I guess that puts me at two a week.
If there's a book I'm raeding? Every day. Siriously, if I have a moments time in which I'm waiting for something to load and sutch I will read.
Now, I try to allways have a book to read, but at the moment have nothing interesting. While I love to read I'm rather picky. Ah well, at least I love it

I read constantly, unless you go by OP ruling... in which case never. I haven't read a book since the last time I was forced to in high school (which was about 5 years ago). I read things on the internet, in magazines, ect. all the time though, which keeps my reading skill up. Books are too long and I fall asleep after reading about 20 pages of any book, EVEN if I actually enjoy it. I can't read books and not feel tired, yet I can read things on the internet for hours at a time.
I'm sure if I were in the right mood, I'd appreciate it, but I'm put off by the fact that nothing happens. Social commentary works better if delivered subtly, with a story wrapped around it. There's no story here, just a guy who gets bored and wanders around for a bit.StBishop said:
Anyway, I read a lot. I love my kindle. It's delightfully space-saving. Currently catching up on 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. Given how little happened in part 4, I was somewhat hesitant to start part 5. Then Tyrion, Daenerys, and Davos popped up. All is good
Everyday if I have a good book to read. Usually when I?m on break or before I go to bed. I can't find many good books tho and they are expensive. I might have to get myself and E-reader at some point since books are much cheaper on them.
Once a day. I can read a whole book in one day. Although the LOTR Original Print Book took tree days. But that was three books in one.
