I love reading. Or rather, I love stories but reading is just another way to get to them. I read slow though.
Poll: Books. Who else reads them?

Yes I do, quite a lot actually.
Currently reading Dune, and it's already my favourite book ever.

I've only 4 on the go at the minute, I use my iPhone as its handy for carrying a large amount of literature without all the bulk, I've 24' of shelving dedicated to books and i keep a stash in the bathroom for when its convenient.
I read game instruction and also subtitles on TV.
Books are the nothing but a desperate toilet paper substitute.

Well, I'm a literature student, so reading is basically like digestion for me. Kinda necessary. Lately, I've got way too many books to read on my queue, namely All Sherlock Holmes, Empire of the Sun, On the road to Kandahar, re-reading The lord of the Rings, and that's just off the top of my head, and the books I'm reading in English alone.
So yeah, too much reading is bad for you kids

Currently reading The Vision (By choice I might add) as well as "Writing Novels and Getting Published For Dummies".
I read a lot but I also read slowly. Typically I have 3 books going at a time, right now it's Spook Country by William Gibson which I'm listening to on Audiobook, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies which my fiancee and I are reading to each other and Steampunk which is an anthology of short stories.
I've taking to reading some of Ton Clancy's stuff (bloody hell it's long!) and some of Matthew Reilly's books, and almost the entire Horrible Histories set.
And contrary to what some might think (not on this forum, I hope), reading will not die, it just won't be on paper.

Sure, I read a lot of books. In my free time I usually read sci-fi novels (mostly from the W40k-verse), and it goes without saying that being a university student requires a lot of scientific reading as well.
My favorite authors are Dan Abnett, Graham McNeill and Alduous Huxley (gotta love Brave New World). At the moment, though, I'm reading Dark Apostle by Anthony Reynolds.

I read a fair bit. Last night I read "Requiem for a dream" (I really like that book), I also read quite a lot of Robert E Howard (a lot of my friends find that strange because i'm a woman and I like Conan. Oh well). I also have to read a lot of Chemistry and Biochemistry research papers for my degree.
When I was a child I read all the time. My parents would have to come in and tell me to switch the lights off and go to sleep now every night. When I heard them coming upstairs I'd pretend to be asleep until I thought they'd gone to bed, then the lights would be back on and I'd be reading again. This lasted until I discovered Internet. Now my attention span is that of a five year old and I can never seem to get into books anymore.
My Xbox is in the process of slowly dying at the moment, so I'm taking this opportunity to get back into reading, because books are awesome and I regret those wasted nights on wikipedia. I never really learnt anything from them anyway.
