    Tell me to read a book, and I'll politely deny it. But, the fascinating thing about me is, when I start reading the first two pages, I get bored.

    After that, I could read for literally hours without stopping.

    Yes, I read something like a book a week over the summer. During school I find myself reading less for leisure and more for my grades though. I try to read one from the top 100 list every now and again. "The Idiot" by Dostoevsky is my current book.

    I don't read in my free time unless it's really got my attention.

    90% (moreorless) of the books I read are historical fiction, particularly around the vietnam war era, the holocaust era, and a lot of fiction from the early-mid 1800s area.

    I haven't read a book this whole summer, though. I tend to read atleast one or two books each month during school...while I'm at school.

    I love to read but it's hard for me to find books that I like. When I find a great historical novel on a person who I admire I usually read it quickly.

    I'll read a book every 2 months. Depends though because sometimes I'll finish a book in a week if I really get into it.

    I read about 1 book a month or two, usually 1 every 6 weeks. I strongly recommend "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" if you'd like to start reading :)

    I recognize reading as being good for brain stimulation but I do not have the patience unless it is a really really good book to sit down and read for a extended amount of time

    I read a lot. As in, 1+ books a day. Nowadays I honestly have nothing better to do except maybe browse around Sythe, however if I'm not in the mood, I'll just read in general...

    I haven't read a book in like 6 months.

    But I read newspaper articles almost daily.

    More interesting, and keeps you updated on what's going on.
