RE: Do you read books ?
Everyone should love reading. It's an essential part of human culture. Sure, you read lots whilst at the computer screen, but is it as insightful as Dostoyevsky or Tolstoy? I'm not sure what I'm currently reading... The Bourne Supremacy for sure, but also lots of other things. Spycatcher by Peter Wright, I'm sort of three quarters through The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoyevsky for about the tenth read and there's a book beside my bed called Galactic Structure, so I must be reading that too.

RE: Do you read books ?
Hmmmm I used to read quite a bit but I havnt read a book for ages (too busy with school etc.) I have read The Da Vinci code and the other two Dan Brown books traxor mentioned and I like his writing style... I guess I dont read books at all anymore unless I have to for school

RE: Do you read books ?
only at school when i have to.
I read magazines and stuff on the net, but no books.
I've read a couple interesting books but not on my own time.

I'm reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown now; after I've finished that I'll probably start reading The Da Vinci Code

You'll probably still be months ahead of me, the Dutch translation will most likely not be available at the same time (and of course I could read it in English but I read the other 5 parts in Dutch so for consistency - the names alone are already different in both languages - I might as well wait for the Dutch version).

Got every single one of Terry Pratchett's discworld novels and quite a few of his other ones
Don't think I'll bother getting Harry Potter straight away like I did last time

RE: Do you read books ?
i just love reading, i spend hours and hours reading
i liked Da Vinci code, i was reallu interested on wat he said, i have Digital Fortress by the same man, tho this books plot is weaker
i also love reading those classic stuff, like Dr. jekyll and Mr. Hyde, twenty thousand leages under teh sea, Hunchback of notre dame,
i ordered a copy of harry potters latest yesterday
My favorite is SHERLOCK HOLMES by Sir Arthur Canon Doyle, i have read all 56 short stories and 4 novels of his!

Have you read The Science of the Discworld series? They are full of fact, fiction & Pratchett's irrepressable humour.
