I used to read a lot, but a few years ago books became kind of expensive due to the devaluation of our money.

I read online now, but I sure miss the feeling of the paper in my hands, turning the pages and reading on my bed.

Edit: oh, yeah! Saralk, I do that too. I remember reading "The Fun House" at school and not hearing the teacher calling my name (I read in class). I could picture every single detail in my mind (kind of disgusting if I was eating at the same time ).

Im trying to read the Hitch Hikers guide trillogy in five parts but its quite a big book and i dont have much time atm for it.
Ive read a couple of the dan brown books and i have a few other that i need to read. I think i made it about halfway through the Da Vinci code and i got loads of school work and stopped reading it. I've read Digital Fortress and Angels and Demons, both are brillant books.
Ive also read almost all of the alex rider series (antony horowitz) and they are good books aswell imo.
Finally, if your into computers and stuff i recomend reading the cuckoo's egg by Cliff Stoll.

I love reading, im a great escapist, sometimes when im eating, or just in my room chilling people can be calling my name for ages, and i wont hear because in my mind I have created a world and i am just living in that world. So when I read, I like creating the world within my mind, and seeing how it all happens, so to me, reading is better then watching films or TV because your imagination is free to run wild and you are able to interpret the words in whatever way you feel.

Yeah, thats what it's like for me. I've been known to lie on my bed all day long some days, just reading, I enjoy it so much.

I agree again. A lot of films based on books I have read tend to annoy me, because they shatter the way I imagined everything in the book.

I'm not a big fan of reading, but i'm reading 2001: A space Oddysey right now, and after that I will read the sequels, 2010 and 3001.

I used to read books quite often, but I stopped about a year ago. I also have read The Da Vinci Code, and I admit, it was much better than I thought it would be - I was up till 4:00 in the morning reading it before I realised the time

Definitely worth a look though..

I've read every single book hes written, they all are really good . I'm looking forward to the next Harry Potter , buying it when i'm overseas in NZ

i once got in trouble at school for reading to many sport biographys and not enough real books i lost marks because of it

I don't really read many books... , prefer watching film versions of books, I think there's gonna be a film version of the Da Vinci Code, so I might go see that...

and they are filming some of it at the Lincoln Cathedral in Lincoln in Lincolnshire, no that far away from me as I live in Lincolnshire , it says (tbc) though...
