Books? Eh, not much. I'm particularly picky about storyline and writing style of books I read. If I find a book that has a storyline that I like, I usually finish it that same day :-\

My mom says I read TOO fast. So basicly if I dont take my time with a book I will have to wait awhile before my mom buys me the next one. No I dont like the library I dont like the feeling of being timed to read something. It turns me off :|

Yeah, usually around three books a week. The lastest book I read was Harold Bloom's How To Read And Why. A bit of a coincidence. :P

hmm...well...read "The Areas of My Expertise" anyway.  It's freaking awesome.  It's not really much of a novel, per se, as much as it is a collection of random articles and charts of fake trivia.  Especially notable are his history of hoboes, his tale of the true lobster, and his section about the 51 states.

I read books when I find something I like or someone suggests I read something.  My friend gave me the book Dream Boy to start reading today.  It's short but she says it's great.

Also a fan of the Twilight series.

That and the ending of it's all so horribly cliche, it looks even worse and hilarious with the special affects of the time.
