Reading is one of my favorite hobbies, but as others have alluded to, when there's a Fun Trivia badge in the offing, reading gets put off. Reply #61. Feb 12 11, 10:27 AM |

Danielle Steel is one of my favorite authors. However. there are many to choose from. Funtrivia--sometimes takes the place of TV and reading. Reply #63. Aug 24 11, 7:18 PM |

Reading is not a hobby of mine, the only book I read on a regular basis is the Bible. Occasionally I will read a non-fiction book of interest or something I want to learn about. Don't see the point in reading fiction, I like facts! Reply #67. Jan 08 12, 6:17 PM |

I love to read. I don't get to read as much as I would like. Stephen King, Dean Koontz, David Baldacci, John Steinbeck, Dan Brown, and John Grisham just to name a few of my favorites. Reply #68. Mar 09 12, 1:58 PM |

Reading used to be a favorite but the computer and Fun Trivia have taken over. Still read a lot. Like Jeffrey Deaver very much. Reply #69. May 10 12, 8:22 PM |

Amongst other things, I love to read before I go to sleep. Reply #70. Aug 26 12, 11:56 AM |

Jeffrey Deaver, Baldacci, Patricia Cornwell, Martin Cruz Smith, Preston & Child, getting into basic physics, chemistry and other subjects we were not offered in school. Any well written mystery will keep me turning pages. Tried again to read Ulysses {Joyce, not Homer} and gave up. Reply #71. Aug 26 12, 6:57 PM |

I love to read. Even if you don't gain a lot of factual knowledge you can usually learn to see things from a different perspective or pick up new, clever writing techniques. Reply #72. Aug 26 12, 8:21 PM |

If I had to choose between reading and FT... sorry, but bye bye FT ! Prefer Australian writers, followed by Irish or English. Reply #73. Aug 26 12, 9:20 PM |

Enjoy reading, find it relaxing. Would recommend Irish author James McGahern if you enjoy Irish literature, maybe you've already read some of his works. If you might recommend a couple Australian authors works I'd appreciate that. Reply #74. Aug 26 12, 9:38 PM |

Aedan, one of my favourite West Australian writers is Tim Winton. Patrick White, Thomas Keneally and Robert Drewe are three Australians worth having a look at. Women writers, Liz Byrski would top my list, closely followed by Monica Macinerney. Reply #75. Aug 26 12, 11:08 PM |

I like to read before going to sleep because I'll often dream about what I was reading. Just a few days ago I fell asleep reading a book about youngsters fighting in the American Civil War and then dreamt that I was a kid with a rifle walking around, hoping not to get killed. Hmmm...where can I find a book about becoming king of the world? Reply #76. Aug 27 12, 6:43 AM |

Reading is more than a hobby to me; it's a necessary part of my life. I take a book with me everywhere, and as I watch little TV, I have even more time to read. I read mostly fiction, primarily mysteries, thrillers, and fantasy. A lot of series fiction and YA novels in recent years. Reply #77. Aug 27 12, 8:23 AM |

I really enjoy reading, although I'm very busy a lot of the time. And whatever free time I have is mostly spent on this computer. I manage to sneak in several minutes before I go to sleep, though. Reply #78. Sep 18 12, 6:24 PM |

Absolutely! I have a wall full of books and my daughter gave me a Kindle Fire for Mothers Day this year, so have been loading that with e-books, as well. Reply #79. Oct 18 12, 5:18 PM |

I go through streaks of reading a lot, then not much at all. I borrowed a Kindle from my mother (she got the Fire) and I've been reading more. Tend to like non-fiction most; biographies/memoirs and war history. I do read some fiction as well though, but mostly old "classics" once in a while. Reply #80. Oct 19 12, 2:38 AM |
