Yesterday from a thread about human vices :D It appears to me that we are a bunch of chain smoking, wine drlnking choc/cheeseoholics! :D :D

Apart from our obvious love of horses it made me wonder how else we are similar :D

So what kind of books do you read (if you ever have the time :D )? Are you an adventure buff? Romance? thriller? Is there a book you can read over and over again?

Music?

I love so many different kinds of books. Love the Twilight saga :D Barbara Erskine, Nora Roberts and loads more.

Music - I currently have Jack Johnson in my car CD player :)
 
I read anything! I am currently reading a book on Budddhsim, before that I had read 'A spot of bother' by Mark Haddon, I read all the twilight saga too :) I also like funny books really but I also like books that get me thinking and that teach me new things.

Music is my passion! i love it, used to have my own decks! I love old skool, indie, rock, pop, sixties, Motown, eighties. You name it I love it. My fave band Is Kings of leon, I also love, muse, snow patrol, Bloc party, Placebo, radiohead, MGMT, The big pink, The kinks, Bob dylan, The four tops :D I am also loving the Bike song at the mo by Mark ronson and some other dude, it's a really happy song.:)
 
I read too much, fully admit to being a bookworm !

Have read all the Twilight Saga books, including the online portion and the Short life of Bree Tanner, all Ann McCaffrey, James Herbert, Steven King, Terry Pratchett, Tony Parsons, Phillippa Gregory (The Wideacre Trilogy is still one of the best things to read imo), James Patterson etc etc. TBH, I read so many different genres it's hard to give a "type" as long as its well written I'll enjoy it and if I start a book I have to finish it... I probably read a book per week,more in the winter! The only book I ever gave up on (and still determined that 1 day I will finish) is The Silmarillion !

But reading I think is not a vice, but a good thing :D
 
I read alot, mostly thrillers... But I have read a few horsey books (the horse dancer, horse whisperer, Chosen by a horse, jilly cooper's lot etc) Obviously read Twilight, but I get really bored in books if it's not a thriller, such as I have read the lovely bones (boring) time travellers wife (boring) so I stick to what I like...

I'll read anything although I prefer the classics or books set in the past. I read to escape to a different world, I don't want to read about something that could be happening now.

I love The Great Gatsby, Wuthering Heights etc and also things like the Siege of Krishnapur. I also like books set abroad, in India etc as it reminds of my childhood, like The God of Small things, love that book!

I could read Atonement over and over again, but I am also prone to the odd trashy Jilly Cooper and recently read the Love Hunt :o which was pretty much the same and brilliant! :D
 
I'm afraid I'm no book worm, never have and never will be, I can honestly say I've never read a full book from start to finish...apart from at school when we had to in English lessons.

Just can't get into them, I don't actually have time to sit and read, perhaps I would if I had time and a nice quiet place to do so, but unless I'm reading something factual and learning something like a horse book for example then I just can't get into them, I personally can't get into made up stories ...things that are not real life.

I wish I could though and certainly don't knock others for enjoying a good book. :)
 
James Herbert, John Saul, Richard Laymon, love horror books! Though i have to admit to having read all the Harry Potter books, far better than the films. Also read all the Eragon books, Brisinger & Eldest. Loved the Twilight books...again far better than the films, but reading Twilight got me started on reading that type of book, love the House of Night series, Lords of the Underworld series (a bit cheesy lol) The Immortals is also another good series.
I really dont like books that waffle to much, i cant stand Stephen King, he spends far to much time blabbering on about random stuff that has no relevance to anything.
