I read like an addict...mostly Scifi and Fantasy. I loved Piers Anthony's Xanth books, and I've read every Alien, Predator, or AVP book out there (unless there's a new one WHERE?). My ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME IS 1984 BY GEORGE ORWELL! My God, that book is perfection!

When I was young, I would do nothing but read. My mom cleaned my room out of all toys because I wouldn't clean it, leaving me literally nothing but clothes and books. I'd read a couple novels a day (Goosebumps, Boxcar Children, Michael Crichton's books, a couple of Steven King's). And then, when I turned ten, we got a computer.

I haven't really read a whole lot since. However, I like to read articles from National Geographic and Popular Science magazines. Every once in a while I'll read a bit of Rainbow Six 3 or Lord of the Rings (I finished the first couple books and stopped reading), but other than that I don't read much. The only book I really want to read now is Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton--I started it a long time ago (around the time when we got the computer--I read a lot of sophisticated material for a young kid) and never finished it.

Faaaantassyyyyy <3

So far my favourite books are the His Dark Materials Trilogy by Phillip Pullman. I've never cried that much by reading a book. If these would get made into movies they'd blow Harry Potter out of the water.

I dunno, but I prefer to read books by many young/unknown authors. There's so many good books out there that don't get the recognition they deserve.

So, you like portuguese material? With that name, he has portuguese blood

And, yes, I never stop reading. Either it is a book, a magazine or even the advertising placards all over town, I keep reading. I just can't stop

I don't read too often anymore.. I went on a reading spree for a few years where I was reading like a book every day or two. Except for like really, really thick ones. They take a little longer I don't really read too much anymore, mainly because I've been too busy.. but I could probably start again. I was mainly into sci-fi, horror, and fantasy.

Fine, I'll admit it I read sometimes...

Stephen King's Dark Tower series is my favorite series of books though.
