Reading Books, Why do you enjoy Reading them
Hello,
In today's world reading has seem to be a lost art, very few people actually pick up a book from the library or spend any money at many wonderful book stores that are out there. We have all gone high tech downloading e-books, buying MP3 books that you just insert and listen to them as you drive or relax at home.
I came from a reading family l always recall my mom or dad reading some sort of book and we as kids picked up that habit and l am so glad l did. Just the other night l was so happy to see my kids as they lay in bed with a book in there hands reading. This made me so proud, to actually see a real book with a real cover on it and them reading. My son has started to really enjoy reading the Stephen King collection, he has knocked 4 of them so far, so l asked him why he decide to read his books, he looked at me and said for the same reasons you also had...............l looked at him and said, OK explain to me..........looked at me again and said hard to put the book away even when l am so tired.......how true is that statement.......
-When was the last time you actually went to the library?
-When was the last time you physically went to a book store and bought a book?
-What was the last book you actually bought?What is your favorite book store and why do you like it?
-What was the last book you actually read and why did you decide to read this book?
-What types of books do you enjoying reading the most or do you just enjoy reading any type of book you can get your hands on?
-As a child growing up, what book made the greatest impact on your life and why did it have the effect it had for you?
-As an adult what types of books do you enjoy reading and which book has provided the most positive outlook in life for you?
I look forward to all of your answers and l will certainly reply to each and everyone of them. I hope you get many great books during these holidays never forget this one statement "READERS ARE LEADERS"..................Merry Christmas and very Happy New Year........
Regards,
Joseph F.

 Online Marketing Specialist/ConsultantJFB, If it wasn't for books in my Life, I would be hard pressed to ever write a single word. The mind and the brain and the body become One, as books create firtile places for the Imagination to take them... I started reading at three years old-- I haven't stopped yet, even when there is more modern stuff like MP3's and stuff... These are good, but I believe in books for the simple fact is that a book can teach a Human how to create Worlds. Dec 24th 2007 14:31 |

 RetiredI love reading, and would be lost without my books. They are so much more satisfying than reading something on the monitor. What I read depends very much on the mood I'm in, but I enjoy Tom Clancy. Currently I'm rereading some of my Anne McCaffrey books. I like some science fiction and fantasy, as well as some none fiction. Dec 24th 2007 16:13 |

Investing One Gram at a TimeJeff, you are so right when you ssay without books you would never be able write a single word............Reading is such an important part of everyday life, it helps past the time it provides you with the ability to create and see what your reading and it's just a great way to spend an evening by the fire place...............

 Health CoachWhen I started the third grade I still didn’t know how to read. My mom gave up trying to help me. Over the summer after the third grade I taught myself how to read on comic books. If it hadn’t been for the comic books, I might not have ever learned to read. By the time I started the seventh grade I was reading at senior college level. I read ever thing. We got a set of World Book Encyclopedia in the sixth or seventh grade and I read the whole thing. I didn’t think it was strange, because my Dad did too. I use to love to read anything Si-Fi. Now I read nutritional and self-improvement books. I like to listen to tapes /cds because that allows me to do other things at the same time. Dec 24th 2007 17:37 |

Investing One Gram at a TimeThat is incredible you taught yourself to read, l really don't care what you read and you know comic books is a great start for beginners to start reading as long as you read you will always have a competitive edge so many people in this world lack that ability to read and is really a shame...... I think l am one of the few people l know who still has a library card and yes l do go to the library why...........l just like it, it's like the interent l have all the information at my finger tips only difference l have to walk to found it the old way..............makes it all more fun and reminds us of where and what we have today..................when you look at a library it really is like a world wide web................only so much different.................the real thing....

Health CoachI live in a town of about 600 people. There is a Bookmobile that comes on Thursdays, but they don’t have much of what I want to read. The best books I have found have been at garage sales, and thrift stores. I bought a set of Tony Robins Cds at a garage sale for $5. Only one package of 12 was opened. I tried to get the girl that was selling it to try again to listen to the whole thing, but she didn’t want to. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I have bought Steven Covey, Robert Kiyosaki, Dennis Waitley, Brian Tracy, Earl Nightingale, Dale Carnegie, Norman Vincent Peale and so many more at garage sales. Dec 24th 2007 18:55 |

Investing One Gram at a TimeHi Lee, yes how true is that so sad for that girl, why she never open up the other 12 cassetts is a wonder........but some people never understand what they had until it's gone perhaps one day she will understand what she sold you............you do have a wondeful library of positive and self improvement material...........l also have but l also have another problem most vehicles l drive have no tape deck............and my library unfortunaetely is all in cassetts............. As for you Jean you need to found the time you once had to get back to some solid reading.............we all make time.............sometimes the best reading is in, well not getting to much detail is a room we all have in our homes..........yes you know what l mean........sorry...............:) Dec 24th 2007 20:16 |

Health CoachI have an inverter that changes 12 volts to 110 (plugs into the cigarette lighter). You can buy them at Wal-Mart or Radio Shack. They cost about $14 it think. I have several small tape players that I can use in the car that way. If you don’t have a cd or tape player but have fm radio, you can get a fm modulator (plugs into the headphone slot of tape player or cd player) that sends a signal to an unused frequency on your fm radio. I rarely listen to music anymore. I listen to the news once in a while, but it doesn’t change much. Dec 24th 2007 21:10 |

 I've always loved reading books, especially romance novels. They're engaging and hard to put down. They keep my feet on the ground. Fairy tales never happen. And if it's too good to be true, it is probably not true. Dec 26th 2007 02:39 |

Joseph Botelho
Investing One Gram at a TimeHello Jeszica, Yes in can certainly get lost in a romance novel, yes true most books once you get into them are pretty hard to put down they take over your imagination and your own private way of seening how that author wrote them words. Why reading is so much different we tend to see a different story from one another..............Rather interesting when you think about it......thank you for sharing your love for books with us all....

I always loved reading as a child, but haven't read many novels in the last several years. I get engrossed in a story and not much else gets done! The story takes me away from daily life, I guess, to places and times I will never get to visit otherwise. I started reading novels again recently when I came across two boxes of paperbacks in a storage unit. Romance novels are OK, I like the saga-type stories. Right now I am reading "Napa," about the beginning of the domestic wine industry in California. I also read "People of the Mesa," a story about ice-age tribes. I like western novels, too. When I was little, my favorite book was "Alice In Wonderland." I like fairy tales when I was younger, too. Dec 26th 2007 13:03 |

Investing One Gram at a TimeSo has anyone read any good books they would like to share all of us. Why do you enjoy reading books, what makes a good book a good read. When was the last time you sat back with your favorite cocktail and got lost in a novel...Reading allows your mind to be as creative as it can be. Your mind needs this stimulation for it to function at it's full capabilities. We wall work out an enjoy it now lets give our minds a work out... GO CANADA GO.....GOLD MEDAL GAME TODAY....

BOOOOKS! They are seriously wonderful things. If the computer was a book, I would stay on it all day and all night!. As it is it has to be switched off to give me time to read at night
So few people seem to read these days and, having been a bookworm all my life - I don't understand why people hate to read so much.
Having always read a lot, when pregnant with my first child, I was sentenced to bed rest for months. i read anything I could get my hands on - and it opened me up to all sorts of authors I would normally have rejected. More fool me - some were excellent.
It is a very important part of a child's development. Both my kids read a lot when small and did very well at school and had enquiring minds. The eldest one has sadly rejected the written word - with a corresponding decline in his studies and maturity. The youngest has kept up his reading and is doing fine.
I wish ebooks were on paper, then I would read more or them - I find the screen a difficult way of reading. Really important things get printed out and read in an armchair. LOL
