Do you?
Yes.
No.
Do you?
Yes, there was a period of time (maybe as long as a year?) though when I fell completely out of it. I think it was when I got internet access at my home for the first time. It was actually a little difficult to sit with a book for even 10 minutes when I decided I wanted to read some novels again. Now, fortunately, I get a little crazy if I go a night without reading an actual physical book, with no buttons on it.
Where is the option for "sometimes"?
Not that it matters as I actually love reading books (if I cannot find the movies they are based on first. Obviously).

Also, is the poll anonymous?

I must say, considering the focus of posts here at LitNet for some time, that the current results of this poll are rather surprising.
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.
Helga- why is fire above women? I get dogs and maybe pizza but fire!?

Ah now a poll about reading on a forum devoted to the rearrangement of largely abstract alphabet characters and spaces.
The question of reading arises a number of times during the course of a day, what to read? how to read? and most frequently Why am I reading this!?!?
There are books as favorite companions, books as time killers, and books as doorstops and tinder - but who hasn't plumped for a perusal of an old phone directory and had a good belly laugh at some of the names - now that's what I call good reading!
Can we pick more than one options?

Gutsy move put'n that out there and appropriate for this Forum.
Hot d**n I do like to read!

This defiantly marks the low point of the year in terms of stimulating lit net conversation. I almost wish someone would bring back the Hitler thread, at least it made good conversation.
