I heard that a lot growing up. And now, even though I'm adult with my own child, I still hear it. Of course, now it's just my mom's voice in my head, reminding me that the dishes aren't going to do themselves and I can read later!I love to read. And I love to read lots of different types of books. Scary mysteries, fluffy romances, the occasional "book club" book, and more.
I'll admit, my reading habit can get a little out of control. Chores fall by the wayside and bedtimes get ignored when I'm in the middle of a good book. I recently caught up on all my magazines - I had about 8 of them stacked up on my desk. I spend at least an hour a day - okay, sometimes more - reading various articles online about advertising and PR trends, the real estate market, and pop culture. And today after work, I stopped by the library and picked up the books I'd reserved...all 20 of them.
So when someone told me today that she loves to read, and she'd just finished reading her first "for-fun" book in 10 years, I didn't really know what to say. I don't doubt that she loves to read. But I just can't imagine not reading for fun for 10 years! (Granted, I'd get caught up on my scrapbooking, have a sparkling clean house, might even exercise, but still!)
My question for you is: Do you love to read? What's your favorite kind of book to read? What's the best book you've ever read?
