Do you like to read?

Well, this is the place to talk about it. Tell us about your fav writer or what kind of books do you like to read .

Yes yes yes..I loooove to read when I find the time to. I read true crime bios/novels. Mostly on serial killers...I'm warped and twisted ..but I admit it. lol. I've read up on the Night Stalker, Gacey, Dahmer and a lot of the less infamous as well.

Also..probably goes without saying...I read magna a lot too...Naruto of course, some Death Note and Junjou Romantica .

..and what about you? what do you like to read Gamakichi?

Well, I read several styles whenever I get time. I like Anne Rice novels. Stephen King .. Well these are the horror/fantastic kind. I also like Historical romance. I don't know if you call it like that. It's when you have historic facts with some made up characters and stuff.. Some poetry from William Blatty and Yeats.

Some psichology books but not much. I also find fascinating the mind of a serial killer. It's quite elaborate.

[yes I like King novels too Gamakichi. Forgot to mention that. I do go outside of my non~fiction world sometimes...Haven't read Rice though. Probably should.

And I love reading about serial killers. I'm no psychiatrist by any means..but the majority of them I've read all have the same pattern. They aren't born that way, but rather made that way from childhood. It does fascinate me to read up on why they do what they do.

[quote=Gamakichi].. Some poetry from William Blatty and Yeats.[/quote]

I meant Lord Byron and not Blatty.... Blatty wrote Legion (among others) and it's not poetry...

Oh Lord Byron is wonderful..I hadn't read him in a while. Never been big on poetry, but if it captures my interests..I enjoy it. Thanks for reminding me to venture out of my world here once in a while!

I really like to read! I used to read a lot but now I guess I don't have enough time or just most of the time I find smth else to do instead. I don't really have a fav book or author..... em... and I'm not really sure what style or literature gender I prefer..... lol .... I just like a good book! XD I will read anything that has a good plot and story line, smth that's exiting, clever written and has a diversity of characters and emotions in it. And I always like stuff that makes you think about stuff. lol I know it sound retarded but yeah! XD

(lol just wanted to use this emoticon)

I don't think it's retarded. You seek knowledge and useful info. So IMO, that's pretty mature. (just wanted to use these xD)

Yes but I haven't read in awhile. Between work, family, etc. it's hard to settle in with a good book. I've read most of Stephen King's books--my fave was the Dark Tower series, also Dean Koontz, Anne Rice loved her Lestat series. I've also read some James Patterson. Last set of books I've read were Maximum Ride ones by Patterson. They're junior adult but nearly everyone in my family (ages 10-84) have read the six books out so far & all have loved them. I also like sci-fi and medieval fantasy. Also read Ken Follett and Mary Stewart's Merlin books (The Crystal Cave, The Hollow Hills) to name a few. Also being a Christian I do read the Bible and have read some fiction Christian books too. I'd love to read more just wish I had more time.

I was told by several of my friends that Maximum Ride Series are really good. I'm hoping to read them in the near future as well XD

If you like quick reads you won't be disappointed in the Max Ride series. Someone once told me possibly anime? But don't quote me on the anime...I did however see a manga copy of the first book (The Angel Experiment) at Borders. So I sat with a cup of tea & skimmed through it. That was pretty interesting. Nice to see the pics but I recommend the books because if you like to read it's so much nicer to imagine the characters and scenery as you think they should appear. The pics weren't bad at all though.

Alright, I'll check it out! XD

I'm primarily a Sci-fi, Fantasy, Gothic and Urban horror/thriller reader. And, of coarse, I'm not above reading a good graphic novel as well.

I absolutely love to read!!! I have tons of books. xD
I mainly read fiction. Books about vampires (and yes, I have read the Twilight books... i love them. ) and magic/witchcraft books.
I also love reading biology textbooks. I find it all very interesting. Some of my classmates find it boring... I don't think I would trust
them with my life if they became physicians or nurses.
And of course i read manga. I usually read whatever my sister recommends. She's the one that got me hooked on Naruto. xD
So if any of you have any recommendations. I'd love to hear them. I usually read a lot of different manga series at the same time
because I hate having to wait for new chapters with the ongoing manga series i read. i guess i'm too impatient! :DD

Thanks for the recommendation. ^_^
I will look them up next time i go to the bookstore.

Thx for the suggestions !! I'll look them up
