What do you people like to read? (Ya do read don't you?)

[sweetiris]

Like the subject says what do you people read? What type of books? What are your favorite authors? Do any of you still read anything besides the computer screen?

Actually I don't read as much as before I "discovered" the internet. That happen to anyone else?

[verwon]

Well being as I read over 600 words a minute, the Internet doesn't affect my reading time very much.

My personal favorites are Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Robin Cook and Lilian Jackson Braun. For the touch of humor I have every book by Erma Bombeck.

We like to learn so we also have a lot of text books and current events magazines in the house.

I like to read all types of books!! I read Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Mary Higgins Clark, history novels (books on Gettysburg,etc), biographies, and whatever interests me at that moment. I also read a variety of current magazines.

Well I read a lot and usually I can manage to be on the internet and read at the same time, all I do is keep my book handy so I can read while pages are loading etc.. I generally read historical fiction leaning mainly towards romance but I skip the high sex books because I don't read sex scenes anyway. My favorite authors are Nora Roberts and Anne Rivers Siddons but I will read just about anything if it stands still long enough. I even read the shampoo bottles while I am in the shower just to have something to read! Oh, I also like to write but mostly poetry and I've even been published.

My norm is to read mysteries/legal/detective books (Dennis LeHane, Lawrence Block, Sue Grafton)... but I occasionally read others. Right now I am reading a lot of Anne Tyler (Accidental Tourist, etc.) I don't read as much as I used to, either. I tend to go in spurts.

[bradedit]

I read ALOT. I read tons of fiction(romance, mysteries, etc) but I have this thing for true crime stories(I know, gory and gross). My family says that I devour books, which 2 of my 3 kids are definitely following in my shoes. The only terrible thing is, I read so many, that I never remember the titles when I go to buy another and sometimes end up with the same book I purchased a week or so ago.

My kids do have trouble because they are advanced readers(6th grader reading at high school levels and 4 year old at 2nd grade level)is finding appropriate books that are not too mature for them. (My 6th grader just finished Othello, and while her teacher approved, it was a little disturbing for her)

I enjoy non-fiction--computer software and hardware, finance, biographies, self-help, health, how-to, and sports. Exciting stuff, huh? However, I will say that my family and I loved the Harry Potter books. J.K. Rowling has that wicked, dry sense of humor.
