I don't read books. I like to read newspapers and magazines, but I've never learnt to enjoy books or novels.
I have kept a reading diary since I was 18. I am jealous of my friend who has kept hers since she was ten.
There are books all around me... I don't read as much as I used to, but I always have a book or two going.
I don't like to read nonfiction. To me, fact is something I can look up.
I always read a lot as a kid and I'd spend long periods of time in my room reading... I wasn't reading anything great until I got older, but I used to read Agatha Christie mysteries and all of Ian Fleming's 'James Bond' novels.
I've always read broadly: literary fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, chick lit, historical, dystopian, nonfiction, memoir. I've even read Westerns. I prefer female protagonists.
I love Chris Crutcher, Sara Zarr, Lois Lowry, Elizabeth Scott, Madeleine L'Engle, Gordon Korman, Michelle Magorian, Heather Bouwman.
I've read a lot of books on the laws of attraction, and in my home, I have a big book on Muhammad Ali, which I've read because he is, like, a hero of mine, but other than that, no, I'm not a big reader.
I think reading is important in any form. I think a person who's trying to learn to like reading should start off reading about a topic they are interested in, or a person they are interested in.
I'm not a great reader of historical fiction; it's not my favourite genre.
I either like reading fun war-based sci-fi, books about the lives of chefs, or dry historical non-fiction.
As a reader, I read quite widely.
My platform has been to reach reluctant readers. And one of the best ways I found to motivate them is to connect them with reading that interests them, to expand the definition of reading to include humor, science fiction/fantasy, nonfiction, graphic novels, wordless books, audio books and comic books.
I read a lot when I'm away. I love courtroom dramas and I'm always looking for new authors.
Do the children who prefer books set in the real, ordinary, workaday world ever read as obsessively as those who would much rather be transported into other worlds entirely?
I don't generally read a lot of fiction.
There are many, many types of books in the world, which makes good sense, because there are many, many types of people, and everybody wants to read something different.
I am a total sucker for an actor's autobiography/biography. I have probably read most of them.
If they won't write the kind of books we like to read we shall have to write them ourselves.
I'm not going to make judgments about what people are reading. I just want them to be reading. And I think reading one book leads to another book.
Lists of books we reread and books we can't finish tell more about us than about the relative worth of the books themselves.
If utopian fiction became the new trend, I wouldn't read it.
I read mostly fiction, a lot of 19th-century novels.
If a child wants to read 'Twilight' over Middlemarch, they should be encouraged - the important thing is to get them reading in the first place.
I read very little contemporary anything.
