I love reading books, it's like a movie theatre in my head and I can picture everything just how I want to. Most people say reading is boring or something like that, but i'd like to know the general opinion on what people on armor games think about reading, if they like it, what type, (Fiction/non-fiction) and what the book is about. Good book suggestions are also welcome, so if you know a good series that would be nice. (I can't find any more good books)

I love reading fiction, and some non-fiction personally.
And if you want some book suggestions, why don't you name some of the books you like first?

Well, fiction books are mostly what I read, although depending on the subject I like non-fiction too. My favorite series is called The sword of truth by Terry Goodkind, then the next is the Ender's game series by orson scott card. The artemis fowl books are ok, I read those when I was younger but they were still fine, Michael crichton books are good as well. Pretty much my interests are everything not about this time period. In perspective, this time period is boring. Advanced, sure, good medicine, sure, cars and planes and spaceships, sure, but it's all common now and not too interesting. Fiction books about either the past or future are what im interested in because I can experience many of the present timed novels and/or already have, but I can't ever experience the past or future.

Books? Read? Me? No. Reading an entire book proves nothing, and it gives me a headache.

I do, when I'm at home and not using the computer, I read.
I'm captivated by words.

Aside from Harry Potter, I really did not read much until two years ago. Some of the books I recent read were the Twilight series, the Vampire Academy series, the Mortal Instruments Series, Mike Lowell & David Ortiz's books, and currently I am reading the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series (which if you enjoy English/Monty Python humor---I highly recommend it thus far)!!

I love reading. I mainly read fiction, although if mythology counts as nonfiction, I guess I read some of that too. I love reading. And I think part of my appreciation for stories is how I write them as well. Very good books.

Some of the books I recent read were the Twilight series

Read them. Can't really say I enjoyed them, but they're not that awful. Just totally overrated. Same for the Harry Potter series.

I like Greek mythology(a lot of fun!), the Bartimaeus Trilogy(Jonathan Stroud(hey he's got my same first name) is a genius), the Percy Jackson And The Olympians series(hey we went back to Greek mythology again), the Dragonlance series(frickin amazing), and my favorite book so far is Enchantress From The Stars(an amazing work, and really as much a medieval adventure and drama as it is a science fiction.)
Needless to say, I read too many books. >.<. However, I love baseball and basketball, so it evens out a little bit. But how you get those stupid dark circles out from around your eyes, I will never know.
