    Of course I've read books in school, but I've only read one book out of school. Social reading doesn't really appeal to me, and the only reason I've read one book is because I went on holiday and I read it whilst sunbathing.

    I actually do read quite a bit. I read a lot into current information, such as the Iraq War, politics and that.

    I find Military\Political History fascinating so that dominates what I read. I guess I don't have enough of a creative imagination for fictional work.

    I used to read a lot when I was younger but I'm too lazy too now and don't have the time. I read a lot of fantasy and war books.

    Reading > pc. 'nuff said, I believe.
    Currently reading a polish book, so its title wouldn't tell you anything. Oh, and I voted 'Yes, I read one book a week, or more'. ^_^

    I can honestly say I never read (other than like recent news on yahoo etc.). I find no joy what so ever. I like hearing about news and current events on the t.v even if they may be bias. Even in school throughout high school I would never read any assigned books, I always just used spark notes for a summary. I just finished my second year of college, and didn't even buy one textbook!

    (Got, one "A" one "B+" and three "B's")

    I read every night before I sleep. I absolutely cannot sleep without reading, my mind just won't settle down. So, I read about 3 books a week.

    i stopped "reading" after i read every stephen king work printed, even the screenplays, and the last 2 harry potters in 1 night, and now for AR (Accelerated Reader) i just go to bookrags.com or recently get on the teachers account and change the points to what is needed to pass her class, and i read every new peice by stephen king that comes out, because its a thing ive always done since the age of 9 and im 15 now, and my grandma lives by herself and i just sit and read with her now because shes lonely and needs someone to talk to

    Maybe if you took it more seriously you would have got 5 A* marks.

    I try to read as much as I can. No matter what any-one says, reading any type of books, be it fiction or non-fiction, you will always learn something from it. It could be vocabulary that you don't understand to historic events.

    I would rather spend my time learning something than reading a book. I guess you can learn from books but I prefer instructional reading, which is more read a page, try it out, read the next. Not reading page by page.

    I don't read any books. If i am interested in something, i read it on the net. Such as libertarianism, etc.

    1.Low attention spam, can't ever concentrate
    2. Don't appeal to me
    3. I don't like much fiction, i like to learn actual history or what is going on in the world.

    I try to read as much as I can, mostly fictional books because it is nice to immerse oneself in another world, detached from your own. Books I find contain much more detail and description than any movie could ever hope to achieve during its course. Also I like to expand my vocabulary :)

    I read about a book and a half a week because I'm usually busy, but I absolutely love to read. Books-a-Million is my favorite place in the world! I'll spend hours drinking coffee and reading a new book; I love it!

    (I mostly read sci-fi, fiction, suspense books)

    I would want to read, but I cannot because 1. I'm too lazy 2. Not a lot of time 3. Not enough motivation. Idk, I read some if I absolutely HAVE to, but else, I just don't have the time and yeah.
