I grew up reading books free on wattpad. That website made me fall in love with reading. Ever since then reading became my time travel

The last book I read was "Island in the Snow" by Leilani Jones. It took place in the Sawtooth Valley in Idaho near where I live, so I can relate.

Yes, I absolutely love reading. I just finished reading "Haunted Mesa" by Louis L'Amour. I actually have a collection of over 40 Clive Cussler novels. I also collect the Jason Bourne series.

I'm about 3/4 of the way thru Battlefield: Earth for my 4th reading. Hubbard gets a bad wrap because of the Dianetics and the Scientology connection, but if you ignore all the static It's still one of the best Sci-Fi books I've ever read. Just don't try to evaluate the book with the horrible movie that came out based on it.

I'm also about 1/4 way thru the audiobook version of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. That's what I take out for my exercise walks. Another excellent selection; part SF, part Philosophy with a healthy dose of Politics thrown in for good measure. Definitely should be required reading for all high school students.

I am an author (8 novels) and I'm amazed at how many adults tell me that they haven't read a book since high school.

It's dismaying to see that our culture is getting to the point that so few people read nowadays.
I think our instant communication culture has become lazy and many people can't focus for longer than 5 minutes, thus the expectations that someone read a full-length novel is too daunting for most people.

How about you? Do you read? If so, what genre of books do you read, and why?

Any other authors out there?


I never go anywhere without having book in my bag. Not an author but dream to be one in the future. I like history because it helps me to understand what i currently see and plan my future.

I love reading and I read every night before bedtime, this week Im in the mood to read Agatha Christie books (I've read it several times but I never got bored of it). when I was a kid my parents bought me Enid Blyton books and that's how I enjoy reading as a hobby. I prefer printed books than e-books.

I was having a lot of trouble keeping track of books I've read. In 1992 I started a journal of every book I've read. I have read 397 books since 1992. It should be more.

try www.goodreads.com

you can keep track of everything you have, read or want to read in their database

Finished up Battlefield Earth. It's still a 5-Star read even the third time thru.

Next up:

Mussolini: The Untold Story by Alan Gelb

It was also made into a Mini-Series for NBC starring George C. Scott in the title role.

It’s pitiful that my generation has lost all zeal to read and learn. Can’t imagine my life without books, btw the last book I read was Letters to his Son by Lord Chesterfield. I would recommend everyone check it out, it’s really insightful.
