How can I get into reading books more? I am really big into video games. Don't get me wrong, I am not a computer or gaming "geek" by any terms, but it is just what I like to do. I like reading about them, buying them, and spending most of my time playing them. I have always "liked" reading, but lately I don't spend much time actually doing it. I got "Cell" by Stephen King as a gift for Christmas, and I love reading it. I actually enjoy taking the time to sit down and read. The problem is, I rarely actually find books like this. The only others I can remember me being obsessed with are "The Kite Runner" and the "Harry Potter" series. I want to be able to be as obsessed with books as I am with video games. I know quite a few websites to go on to learn all about video games, but nothing about books. Maybe a social site to get information about books, or book review websites, anything. I really want to make reading a much bigger part of my life. I thank anyone greatly for any help!

Pros and cons of reading books versus listening to audiobooks? When reading a novel in class, our teacher plays the audiobook, while we're following along in the real book. It's fairly helpful. I've never listened to an audiobook outside of class, and therefore haven't listened to one without a book there. What do you think? With which is it easier to follow along? For which genre are audiobooks best? Are they better for long description, dialogue, or stream of consciousness? Are audiobooks hard to find/expensive?

Instead he spends hours playing computer games, which I don't think really helps with his development.

Do you think that reading books is actually quite an anarchic thing to do? I often encounter people who boast 'I've never read a book in my life' (I include my brother in this!) as they seem to believe books are things invented by 'them' to oppress 'us'. But I have always believed that reading is a rebellious thing to do - no one (except in extreme dictatorships) can stop us getting information in this way and stop us getting knowledge from the universe of published works - knowledge is power - 'they' don't want us to have power, and so we, as readers, win! Do you agree that bookworms are powerful people?

Reading Books -.-*? It is Summer!!! But instead of hanging out with friends I am staying at home to read books. I heard that you can sometimes get more from reading one book and analyzing it instead of reading 100s of them very quickly. Is this true? I would like to increase my vocabs and reading comprehension very much so that I could read complicated books like Modame Bovary and A Tale of Two Cities. I also would like to understand important quotes and philosophies in the books. I enjoy reading but sometimes i just don't understand some things. I am a junior. and i will be taking AP English Literaturea & Composition. I want it to be a a great and useful experience (and also fun of course)...so here's the question: how can i read something quickly but at the same time understand it very well. do good critical thinking based on the book.? i tried asking myself questions about the book...but it is difficult to do. any sites? i heard that reading outloud can improve critical thinking too? does it?

Reading books? I'm not an incredibly fast reader. I read at a naturally slow pace, just to sulk in all the words and grasp the full meaning of what I'm reading.

If I keep reading do you know any reading or writing competition? Dear Friends thanks a lot for the interest but i have read all the books you suggested except the last from David

Do you read books lower than your "reading level"? As children we often find books with reading levels. Most didn't have them but we got a general idea of what age group the books went for. I have loved many young adult authors, but now I feel like I'm too old for reading them again. What I'm asking is...do you read books even though you know you are older than the intended readers of the author would be? Like if you grew up reading an authors books and as you grow up you forget about them and move onto more mature readings. I wouldn't think any less of anyone if I saw them reading a book that is below what they can be reading...but sometimes when I ponder bookstores I find myself walking by the young adult sections and finding books i didn't even know existed from authors I loved years back. Maybe its a series that took to long to finish before you grew up. I sometimes just feel embarrassed for wanting to read those books because I know I'm too old to be reading it.

Do you like reading books online? I've seen lots of questions about reading books online. I found the site below for anyone that is interested.

For people interested in the most recent book from their favorite author there is a New_Books page which lists a lot of sources for finding new books as well as a short list of the newest books that I have found. That page also has a link to the library and a new site link to "Library Elf" which helps you keep track of when your books are due so that you will never have to pay a fine again. There are many other pages that may be of interest.

Reading books and improving writing and speech? I love reading books. People tell me reading books help improve in those two areas. But, it doesn't seem that way. Is it because you have to read a certain book because the only books i like reading are those fantasy books. Like Harry Potter, Eragon, LOTR, Narnia, etc.

e-books: who is reading them? I see a lot of questions on Yahoo Answers about e-books and it makes me wonder, who is reading them and what do they like about them? I have worked in both publishing and libraries, yet I don' t know anyone who owns has an e-book reader. I read newspapers and journals at my desktop and via Blackberry. I have read books online. But if I want to sink my teeth into something, I will always prefer to actually have the item (newspaper, book, or mag) in my hand. I have never LOVED an e-book. Something about the medium makes it seem frivolous like some blog entry. Maybe I am just an old fart at 30. So I'm interested. If you read E-books why do you like them? Is it just the convenience? How old are you? Please tell me there are some pre-teens out there who read books!

Does reading in school ruin the general enjoyment in reading books? I used to read alot on my own...but I believe school gradually decreased my interest to the point where i can't stand reading...i think its because we only read books that r important and played a role in history...and then we begin to believe that we dont like books cause we never liked doin reports on em...Books begin to intimidate students...when most students think of books they think of boring hard work and boring assignments and reports and projects...I believe reading in English class ruins the whole enjoyment of reading. Why do we read books that we don't want to read in order to enhance our reading skills? Is this a corrupt system?

Reading Books Online? I am 13 so don't put websites for classics i recently started reading Jenny Nimmo's series but i read books so fast i am running out of money to buy and my library stinks so i need a website that i can read her books or other books that a 13 year old wouls read ( sports etc...)

I have a problem with reading books here....sort of....please look at details? Not really a problem WITH reading, but here it is: In school, our English teacher always gives us these books to read; as soon as we finish one, he gives us another. There are a few problems here; 1. I am a very slow reader, thus, I am always behind the class, and often need to catch up with the rest of the class. The thing with this, is that sometimes I enjoy the book, causing me to read it more enthusiastically, and understanding it, and sometimes it's the most boring piece of....work ever! 2. Other teachers also decide to give us books to read; books on Judaism, history, a story of the war, etc. The problem? I am a slow reader, so it is hard for me to get all of that reading done! 3. There are also a few books that I REALLY wanted to read! I borrowed a book from a friend recently, and have to return it by the end of the school year, and I borrowed another book from another person and I didn't even start it! I also have a choice of another book, and so little time !!!!!!!!!!!! To all of you who told me to talk to my teacher, I already asked her first thing if I could have some more time, because I am a VERY slow reader, and she said, "Oh, don't say that! I don't believe that it could take you more than 2 weeks to read this book!" And I cannot argue further or she'll dock points from my grade! Why? Because she's a !$#%#^!$#%(excuse my French please!) OK-here's the problem, I CAN'T do speed-reading, or I would have TRIED...not that I haven't...see, when you start learning to read in one language, then all of a sudden switch to another one, IT'S HARD! And at least I could do it pretty well! Though, since I've been reading English MUCH longer than I've been reading Hebrew, when I pray, it takes me HOURS more than everyone else, because I stutter while reading the Hebrew, or read it VERY EXTREMELY slowly....I actually cry during the long Shmonah Esreh on Yom Kippur, which is sort of good to do while davening, but whatever...=,'( OK, um, for that last question (REALLY no offence or anything), you see, I'm still in school, (high school), and I barely have enough time to do anything! Also, I still need my sleep, and time for homework, and time to help my mom with my brothers and sisters, etc. So life pretty much sucks for me.....thanks anyways though! =,'( Too hard to choose the best answer....I'll just call a vote...sorry!

My Dream: Reading Books "How do I remember the texts?"? The majority of my dreams involves reading from something from somewhere, like a huge book, or bulletin boards or some pamphlets. But most of the time it's just books or notebooks. Sometimes the writings are so eloquent I couldn't have just made them out. But when I wake up it gets frustrating that I only remember at most two sentences. The dreams: I don't remember background details in my dreams very much. The only details I mostly remember is the medium the writings are in like a book or a notebook. They're usually old, sometimes there's nothing else but the book floating or some candles in the background. Sometimes I'm in a library, a museum, a small room, a church and on one occasion I was reading a billboard on a modern city. I'm more interested on remembering the texts but interpretations would be interesting too.

Does reading books with small text? Does reading books with small text (in compressed volume) affect my eyes in adverse way?

Reading books in Spanish? My wife is learning Spanish (fairly early stage). For Christmas I would like to get her some proper reading books. I remember finding Winnie the Pooh and similar books translated into Latin.

Favorite Thing About Reading/Books? I just started reading bout 2 or 3 months ago. I've been through about 8 books so far. I always thought that reading would be a choir. I would look at the hundred some what pages and just die! I guess school didn't help either. The stuff they have had reading. But anyway, now I love it! and I'm shocked. I am a reader. . . it feels weird to say. I read mostly horror/sci-fi stuff. So what is it about reading and books you like?

I have trouble reading books, what can I do? I have trouble trying to read books all the way through. I have a lot of half read books lying around.

I have been diagnosed with ADD in the 2nd grade and am now 22 years old. I'm going back to college in a month and am trying to get back into the swing of reading and remembering information. Any help would be much appreciated!

What are the benefits of reading books and can it improve my social and speaking skills? I've never been an avid reader, I only ever read books when I had to in school. Sometimes I'll come across a book that a movie was based on and read it, and enjoy it. Right now I'm half way through the Band of Brothers book. Anyway, It always seems to be that book worms are very smart and articulate when they talk. I often mumble and sometimes don't get my point across when I talk. If I'm reading books, will it eventually improve my talking? Not sure if it matters but I read the newspaper everyday from start to finish, although it's a tabloid. I should probably start reading broadsheet newspapers and read more of the discursive sections.

Situation: Reading books or working out? What would you choose? Suppose you had limited time in your everyday lives in which you could do either of the two activities: a. Read books and novels b. Exercise, work out, play sports Imagine you are in a tough job with long working hours, which leaves you with hardly any time left for other activities. You either care for your health, work out a lot, exercise, play some sport, go out for camping on the weekends, etc. sacrificing reading. Or as a voracious reader and intellectual, you read in your little available free time, giving working out and exercising a toss... What would you do if you had to choose only one at the expense of the other? and Why? You cannot do both.

Right now, I'm into reading about the Roman Empire and its collapse. To me, reading books is what gets me through hard and boring days. I love reading the stories of the past and it just amaze me. So how can I stop that?

I really like reading books on English Literature. This is not a problem but I would like some suggestions ..? if anyone can give me some. There is nothing like the good old book/s. But nowadays anyone can download any EBook from the internet and its much easier. But I find it a bit awkward / tiring reading so many pages on my computer, but again it will be much costlier to buy books which I would like to read. Yes the library may be an option but again all good books may not be available there.

addiction to reading books? im a complete book worm! i like reading becasue it helps me relax and calm down and not think about......bad stuff....is a way of putting it (you might want to check out my other ? for more details). but that's the problem! some people are addicted to drugs, or alchol, or food er somthing. but i seriously think im addicted to books. i could read for ever and ever and ever......what draws the line of an addictin && doing somthing for one's personal enjoyment? and is this a bad habit? yay! im not the only one! i completely agree-it relaxes me and makes me feel like i can be a completely different person. i dont think i can give out 10 points because i like all of the awnsers. thanks very much for you words of wisdom!

Since when is reading books a sin? i certainly don't think it is! as a muslim, i am ashamed at the way a few so-called muslims are reacting to salman rushdie's satanic verses. and i don't agree either with the way some christians have a strong opposition to harry potter. furthermore, some people don't read other people's religious texts, simply because it's not their religion. isn't it better to gain knowledge and to learn different perspectives? if God gave us free will and a brain, why then can't we all think for ourselves and refute books we don't agree with? if you really are strong in your beliefs, no book will be able to change that! i'm not trying to lump all religious people into one category. i just wanna know: what religion you are? do you think reading a book that may contain ideas contrary to your beliefs is a sin? why or why not? also, what kind of books do you read that might be considered controversial?

I lose concentration and or forget what I just read when reading books? Ok so there's been tons of books I've read about thirty five pages of, then put it down and never get back to it. The problem is, when I read books, I can't get into them. I find a lot of the time, I'll read a few pages and then stop and realize I didn't take in what I just read. I'll also realize I don't remember what I just read. Or I'll lose concentration and I just cant read it and I put it down. I can read, I'm not illiterate I was taught to read at a young age and I did so so it's not that. Why can't I get into books like I used to be able to? Is it distractions? I don't know because I don't know of anything distracting me. Is it I can't find a comfortable reading position? Is it some mental thing? I'd like to get this fixed so I can get back to enjoying a good book... I have so many I've picked up, walked into, and put down... I have glasses but I rarely use them, and I haven't tried using them when reading. Perhaps I should try that and see what happens. By the way good responses so far, thanks everyone! I thought maybe it would help if I listed some of the recent books I've tried to read, they all have things in them or themes I am interested in of course, and this is why I chose to read them but maybe there is something about the author's style or something that makes them harder to read? Here they are: - The Science Fiction Hall of Fame (a collection of vintage science fiction short stories) - Break Contact, Continue Mission by Raymond Harris (a Vietnam War story) - It Gave Everybody Something to Do by Louise Thoresen and E.M Nathanson (a true story about a woman's experiences with an out of control husband who went on a crime spree)

Why do people suggest reading books about relationships? It's so annoying to see people suggest books to read when people have real life problems such as a spouse who wants a divorce, or a spouse who is cheating, etc. When in the heck did reading a book ever help a person deal with problems in marriage when only one spouse is truly devoted to the marriage??? I have read enough self help books to open my own library. Many marriage books contain information that anyone with an ounce of common sense should already know. I'm not referring to asking for help for myself this time, I'm talking about someon else who asked a question in Yahoo Answers.
