What do books and reading mean to you?

@boobagins Said

Books are extremely stimulating for me.

I find no barriers and anytime i can pick up on something the author is disguising, even in his writing style, it feels like i have found a secret that no one else knows. My imagination truly has no limit with books and i find them extremely satisfying emotionally.

There are certain books where i feel like im intruding in private lives, in others i feel like god looking down, in some i'm a character, in others im just this person that everything just happens around.

I can escape, learn, be, do, everything at the same time. More than anything, i enjoy it and have fun.

I love reading. When I was a kid I would read a book a day. No joke

As I got older and I started working more and more at school I started to read less.

Now I'm college and I'm doing work throughout the day and for a couple of hours a night when I get home, I barely have any time for it anymore

At the moment I'm reading "Down the Highway: The Life of Bob Dylan" by Howard Sounes. It's a very good book. 600 pages though and I'm only 150 in

It's gonna take me ages to get through but it'll be worth it. I love gaining more knowledge about things.

I always read lots in the holidays, I managed to finish three or four books over the summer

Books have never really been my thing. When I read, I read one at a time and usually they are non fiction books. Right now I'm reading 3 books, 2 for school and 1 for myself. The one I am reading on my own is a digital mixing book that discusses various techniques of sound engineering for popular music. The last book I read was the Twighlight series; I wanted to know what all the fuss was about and they turned out to be pretty good.

books are a great way to relax for me. also great for falling asleep. don't mean it in a bad way... but if i have trouble falling asleep. I read a few chapters and much easier to fall asleep.

I am exactly the same. I love to read horror stories...not for the blood and gore, but the way the author builds up to the horror act. I totally respect some of these authors who can use the written word to create a physical atmosphere and stir emotions.
