I read books, fiction and nonfiction

hi gj!
love to read - there's a discount store behind my place where i can buy books for only a couple bucks - how good is that? i've got a stack of about 10 books beside my cumfy couch waiting to be dealt with.
i read historical fiction and historical chronicles mostly - going back in time is fun....
good question...
cheers!

I have probably read several thousand books but sadly my eyes don't allow much reading of books anymore. I have read both fiction and non fiction. I always thought the knowledge of the world was in books. I am so thankful for the internet because with my computer setup for large fonts I can still read some things. I still enjoy reading other peoples ideas although few believe as I do anymore. For those that have good eyes I encourage them to read everything they can get their hands on that interest them. The more you read the greater your depth of knowledge and thought.

I read both when time allows - You can not beat a book and, fiction, non fiction etc - anything really so long as it grabs my attention

I cant get to sleep without reading, even if its just a paragraph!

Have to admit that the information age and the internet has dipped into my reading time. But I still go to college, applied Linguistics, so reading and language is tops on the list.

Thanks for the reply. Like you, I enjoy reading both fiction and nonfiction, but I write only fiction because I'm too lazy to do much research.

You're lucky to get your books so inexpensively. By the way, you chose a way cool blog name.

I can identify with you because I'm having some vision problems right now too, though I hope they're temporary.

Reading a variety of things, as you do, is usually the sign of a bright and open mind.

Sometimes, there can be much knowledge and wisdom in just a paragraph.

Linguistics must be a fascinating field. That's also Naom Chomsky's specialty, so you're in good company.

Thanks to all of you for your interesting replies.

I know it's kind of late, but I do read, as much as I can with kids! I read new books, classics, fiction, non-fiction, you name it! I am currently reading Memoirs of a Geisha, and have just finished To Kill A Mockingbird, I have a shelf full of books to read, I read to my kids every night! My dad read to me when I was little, he would read the newspaper outloud if he had nothing else!
