![]() When I was younger, I used to read... ok, maybe not a lot, but still not a small number of books...
Now I realized, that with being online so much I can't just find motivation or interest to read anything (despite having time for it). I guess it's because I can READ lots of interesting stuff online but perhaps it has to do with laziness/shorter attention span as well. How about you?

I am reading one now by Carl Hiaassen called SKINNY DIP
![]() Synopsis What a howler. Reminiscent of Mickey Spillane, Carl Hiassen's Skinny Dip starts with crooked sleeze-ball Charles Perrone throwing his wife off a cruise ship miles away from the coast of Florida. Unbeknownst to Chaz, his wife Joey, was a champion swimmer and athlete in college, and turning her fall into a dive, survives the fall, swims to near exhaustion, eventually latches on to a floating bale of marijuana, and is picked up out of the ocean by a retired cop Mick Stranahan. Joey doesn't understand why Chaz tried to kill her and spends the bulk of this hilarious story with Stranahan figuring out why and taking revenge by driving her husband crazy. The book is filled with great character sketches - Tool, a pain-killer addicted hired thug who gets reformed by the terminally ill old lady whose meds he tried to steal, Red Hammernut, the agribusiness tycoon who is paying off Chaz to falsify water quality records so he can keep his polluting enterprise up and running, and Karl Rolvaag, the homicide detective who keeps two albino pythons and when they escape is disturbed when the yappy dogs of neighbors go missing. Joey is a force to be reckoned with, and gives new meaning to the saying, "don't get mad, get even." Boy does she and how. |

I have a small book shelf next to my bed and have countless supply of books in the queue to be read... to answer question, yes. I do read books. I usually read more than one at a time though and just pick em up as i feel interested...
Its really good to relax away from the net with a book. do it more often and your eyes and mental health will thank you.

![]() I still read books. I have one for outside, one for each car and the Kindle for everywhere else. Unless I find a book I can't put down I usually keep about 6-8 of them going at once that I'm reading. And magazines. And cereal boxes if there's nothing else to read. ![]() |

I used to read all the time.. tons of books and most of the time would read 4 to 5 new books a week.. then I got married, had kids, become a webmaster, etc and it all ended... actually, it ended the minute my wife was living with me, lol
Now the only books I read are non fiction, reference, etc... But not cover to cover.. just sections with the info I need at whatever particular moment |

I've read a ton of books over the years. Maybe two or three tons.
Currently I'm re-reading a book I read many years ago called "Clan of the Cave Bear" by Jean M Auel. It's fantastic, very well-written.

Yes, I actually didn't read much until a couple of years ago when I realized that it's good to read and I need to do it more.
I usually have one business and one personal book I read at a time.

I read constantly - Mostly about WWII and military stuff. Right now I'm reading a book called "Body of Secrets" about the NSA. You would be stunned at what lengths our government goes through to listen on other countrie's communications. The part I just read was about the Artic Circle; We had bases on ice flows.
The book I read before that was "Hard Marine" about a gangster teen going into the Marines, shipping off to Iraq, and becoming a war hero.

Yeah I read every day and night. Not anything particularly amazing or interesting. But I like to read sci-fi/fantasy. Sometimes money related things, or big-wig success stories (if auto biographical or at least approved biographical).

i read a new book every week, sometimes two. it's been that way my entire life since i was able to read. the only exception would be during my university years, constantly reading all of the technical genetics/physics/chem/micro/math/logic/stats books kind of beat me into reading submission for a couple of years.
i'm currently reading, "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn". |

I read 2-3 books a month. Spent the summer reading Stieg Larrson's trilogy - the "Men who hate women" trilogy. One word to describe those books: Superb. It's been quite a while since I've started a book and read half of it in a single day. These aren't small-ass paperbacks either.
Currently reading David Baldacci's newest. Can't remember the name of it but wtf. Good read LOL

I read everyday and usually down a book in about a 1 to 2 weeks. I just finished reading the Lucifer Principle, which was pretty good.
I read alot of non-fiction and science/physics books but enjoy good fiction every now and then. Currently reading World War Z.

I used to read a book every other day, and the Economist cover-to-cover every week. These day, I just have no time. It is a shame, as reading the right books makes the brain so much sharper.

I just got through with "Marketing to the Affluent" by Dan Kennedy, because I got tired of marketing to the broke-asses.
There is a lot of crap out there, but if you sort through it all, there is tremendous wisdom, sometimes an 80 year old man took 80 year4s to learn powerful life lessons, and its exciting that you can read a book in 10 hours, and save 80 years of heartache. I love reading the wisdom of others! Joe
