    I read ALL the time! The only time I am not in the middle of the book is when I've just finished one and haven't yet chosen another. I like most genres except for biography, horror and crime stories.

    Heh.

    I'm at the tail end of James Clavel's Asian Saga right now, reading Noble House - it's on the order of 1300 pages.

    My personal library is more than 800 books of over 210 pages, the average length being 324. (yes, I have a database of them.)

    I read lots when i find a good book. I haven't been reading as much as i used to. I guess im just not in the mood. But my favorite genre is fantasy.

    When I got the time to do so, then I read a lot.

    If you're got some time, read Good Omens, written by both Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman (they both rule: read the Discworld series when you got more time). It's a must read for almost anyone who likes a bit of humour getting mixed with the apocalypse.

    I read a lot of Sci-Fi. Mostly hardcover Star Trek novels. I also read a lot of Marvel/DC hardcovers novelizations that catch my eye every now and then.

    Like Eleesleknud, I'm in the middle of James Clavell's Asian Saga . . . right now I'm more than halfway through Gai-jin. After that, I want to read Bradbury's Martian Chronicles.

    I have a small pile of books just waiting to be read:

    Ender's Game
    Alas, Babylon
    The Great Gatsby
    Dante's Inferno
    The Tempest

    And it usually varies how fast I go through them. I've had to read a lot lately for school, since I'm in the AP Literature and Composition class. Favorite novels that we've read this year: The Dispossessed, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Bright Lights, Big City, and The Bell Jar.

    I can't wait for the next Harry Potter book. Sometime maybe near the end of Summer I might want to star the Wheel of Time series, but I'm kind of ambivalent about dedicating so much time to that . . .
