Poll: Do You Read?

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

I like to read.

I think it's silly to pity someone for not enjoying it, there is an ugly pretentiousness about peoples attitudes to reading. It's not necessarily a sign of intelligence, and it's not definitly superior to film, it has some advantages...it also has plenty of disadvantages.

I would pity someone who didn't enjoy any means of storytelling...but films are freakin' awesome, and I can completely understand someone continuously favouring them. 9/10, I'm looking at the DVD rack rather than the bookshelf when I want entertainment.

I end up reading something most nights...PC Zone...New Scientist. I occasionally tackle a full length work of fiction. But it's not a frequent occurence.

Yeah however I can't commit myself to read through a chapter book easily, I do own a collection of random trivia books which are nice because you can just flip to a random page and learn something interesting.

If the internet counts, all the time. I just spent 3 hours reading NASA's Universe 101 pages. I havent read fiction or an entire book in quite a while though.

That's why I treat my internet connection as some form of life-support. I'm constantly reading stuff, and the best place to do so is on the internet because of the massive wealth of knowledge, and the fact that new material is constantly being added. For instance, as you read this post, it is entirely plausible for a news website to poast an article about a newly found tribe of otters who craft elaborate castles underwater for the nearby fish population to live in.

If I have a book, I read for over 3 hours every night in bed. If I'm really bored during the day then I'll read then too.

Other wise I play my DS in that same time frame.

I love to read - I'm usually carrying a book with me everywhere I go. I'm honestly baffled by people that say they hate it, like my dad and my sister -_-

I do like to read, but I haven't read much recently because the library in my town is shit, filled with ridiculously obscure and boring books, whereas the books at the bookstore are nice and ridiculously overpriced.
