I was just curious, mainly because I don't thin that nearly as many people do anymore. What with TV, movies, and the internet, there's always an alternatives to good old printed paper.


I'd like your insight, sirs and madams.

In update, what kinds of books do you read?

At the moment, I'm enjoying some warm coffee and a Coleridge

Yes but not often enough, I just have the time.

I'm reading Rights of Man by Thomas Paine right now.

Absolutely. I used to read several books a month, but I've had much less time lately. I generally read non-fiction science books, and I honestly can't remember the last fiction book I've read. My last few books:

- Zero: The biography of a dangerous number
- Euclid's Window
- Guns, Germs, and Steel
- Rocks and Ages by Gould

Nothing better than expanding your understanding.

Yeah I do. Reading The Da Vinci Code at the moment.

Previous books I've read in the past month are:

State of Fear (Awesome+++)
Splinter Cell (Ok story, poorly written)
Prey (Awesome)
Adromeda Strain (Pretty good)

yup. I even read reposts ;) jk

I'm always reading at least one book... I can't fall asleep without reading for 10-15 minutes beforehand. I guess my parents got me into the habit. they read to me and my sister almost every night from birth until we could read for ourselves. my dad would read to us from the newspaper, and my mom read us Stephen King books :p I was deathly afraid to walk over sewer grates until I was in my teens :Q
