Re: Why read books over watching t.v. or movies?!?!??!?!

I read while watching TV. :o Sometimes it's just for background noise.


In general though, I prefer reading a book over watching TV. But there's times where I just want to relax & watch a show rather than read.

Re: 1001 books?

What is the 1001 books challenge?

I don't do it, but I am doing the New Books Challenge again this year. Last year I got to 100, so I'm going for 150 this year. :)

Re: Poll for March/April fiction discussion now open

I voted for "A Visit from the Goon Squad" because I'm going to have to read it for one of my classes anyway, so this might help. :lol:

I've already read "Who Fears Death," and I enjoyed it, so if that wins, hopefully I'll have time to reread it. 8)

Re: 11/22/63 by king

I enjoyed it. I was expecting more of a "What if JFK had lived?" sort of scenario but found it to be more like a "How would time travel work?" sort of book. So the ending wasn't as good as I thought it would be, but overall I liked it.

Re: Question for everyone

Depends on the book really.. The length, how fast paced it is, how much I'm into it. If it's a book I really want to "savor," it'll take me longer.

It also depends on what time of the year it is. Like right now, since college just started... I haven't had any time to read for pleasure. :(

Re: Fiction Book Poll

First votes! Buahahaha! (I actually just happened to log in 5 minutes after this was posted. Spooky.)

I was indecisive to I picked 7. There are some that I'd like to read more than others, but I selected the ones that I've either read & liked, or that would be interesting.
