Reading books is important. How often do you read books?

I agree that reading is a must for everyone. But I am having trouble finding an author I can get into.

I think the 15-20 option is about where I land. I used to read more before my daughter was born. Whenever she sees me with a book she takes it to mean I have some idle time that would be better spent playing with her.

I saw a study the other day where only 51% of college aged people reported having read a book solely for pleasure in the past year. That number was down from 59% 10 years ago....at least I think those were the numbers. Anyway, it surprised me because those years were when I read the most, I was seldom without a book. Guess there are just more entertainment options these days.

It's the new thing from Amazon.com. It's the competitor to Sony Reader. It's like hand-held e-books. You can download books onto your little device, which is about the size of a book. They cost $400 and $10 a book.

Some people are hoping they make more people read, because of the technology angle.

I've been reading too darn much. Actually, the problem is that I'm reading too many books at once and can't keep them straight. I mean, Abe Lincoln didn't really investigate the murder of an antiques dealer, open a software business, and then have an affair with Queen Victoria, did he?

No, I am not an owner of that device. I don't think I'd enjoy reading an e-book.

I've been having the same problem, except it was: Harry Truman is part of the Jesus blood line and he is trying to kill god while having an affair with a 12 year old.
