Do you like to read?

Is there not a depends button?
I guess I will have to vote yes and no.
Oops it is not possible multiple voting allowances is deactivated

why is fire above women? I get dogs and maybe pizza but fire!?

1: Fire hurts less. This is not always true, but if I had to choose between jumping in a fire or pissing off the the woman I've lived with for the last 11 years, I'm going with fire. (She is Irish, just sayin.)

2: Fire looks awesome all the time, even in the morning, with no makeup.

3: Fire is easier to keep happy. All it wants is more wood. Try that approach with an angry woman.


Anyway, I voted yes. I love reading all the time, and the only time I'm not reading something is when I have just finished a book and need to let it digest for a few days before I move to the next one.

I dunno. Can you?

Me I love reading, but I've found that I hate reading about reading, it wrecks it.

I find most people enjoy talking about books more than actual reading itself.

No.

Because when I read, I don't really read; I pop a beautiful sentence into my mouth and suck it like a fruit drop, or I sip it like a liqueur until the thought dissolves in me like alcohol, infusing brain and heart and coursing on through the veins to the root of each blood vessel.

YES. Especially now that I use reading glasses. For years I would get headaches from reading and I never put two and two together until the last year or so. Now I can read all day without getting eyestrain. Its glorious, truly glorious.

You of all people should know I'm anything but responsible.

No.

I'll take whatever you're taking, 'cause that sounds a lot more fun than how I usually read.

And I'm bummed I missed the inflammatory comments. Someone send me a PM to fill me in on the fun!

Jack of Hearts- Oh god yes. It's the best ****ing thing in the world. Er... Second best...

Damn straight! The best ****ing thing in the world is most certainly ****ing.

I have actually had the above conversation with some friends of mine some years ago. Their recommendation resulted in a combination of the two stlukesguild haha but I would think that to be difficult!

But I do love reading haha. Not sure how I would arrange my list of things that I love the most though.

(My two cents' worth is finished. Don't want to get in trouble with the mods. It's been awhile since my last post after all!)

Hi Helga. Please forgive me for not including a disclaimer. I only hope to rectify my oversight, and improve my position, by adding here that my above post in no way includes Helga, who is, in fact, exactly like fire in all respects. I didn't want to incite others to jealousy, plus I thought it went without saying. I apologise, profusely.


On another note, does anyone else think this is a strange poll to find on a literature forum. Aren't we all here because we love reading? Maybe in off in left field again...

[Helga]

Well looking at the poll results not everybody loves it, 3 at least don't....


Maybe it's the amazing conversations and the insightful people that draw us in.
