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.

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

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!
You either love it or you don't. There is no sometimes. And it's anonymous, yes. So?
Now how could you ever think such a thing?I must say, considering the focus of posts here at LitNet for some time, that the current results of this poll are rather surprising.
Can we pick more than one options?

Me I love reading, but I've found that I hate reading about reading, it wrecks it. Allusions to literature throughout regular conversation are nice, though.I must say, considering the focus of posts here at LitNet for some time, that the current results of this poll are rather surprising.

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.
