I've started reading a lot more these past few weeks about my field of studies. I'm building my portfolio over the next few months and I need all of the guidance I can soak up.

Reading helps build the creative muscles in your mind as there are only words and symbols. I read a lot of books based on spirituality, wealth, self-help, science fiction, and magic.

No. I do not read a lot. I only read things that are true and real. I don't like fiction. Then I fall in love with a published author of fiction stories. He says his own personality is part of the lead character in each story and some of his stories are true. Now he has me reading all 7 of his books and wanting more.

Or just entertaining. I actually droped about $80 on books at Barnes and Noble today, and there were still two books that I had to put down and hold off on. I read alot of medical books because it relates to my job, but I also like books by comedians ("Too Fat to Fish" by Artie Lange; "I Hate Your Guts" by my buddy Jimmy Norton). Its just fun and sometimes relaxing.

I LOVE reading! (so says the high school librarian) I'm usually reading 3-4 books at a time, both fiction and non-fiction.

Books get into my mind and my heart; I laugh and cry and yell at what's going on.

I think reading is valuable because it is a more interactive experience than more visual types of media. You will increase your vocabulary and your general knowledge (or specific knowledge if you're reading non-fiction) and your imagination greatly by reading.

The best way to read is to read actively... look up words you don't know, look up concepts you haven't heard of, look up information on the author and the time period, check out the cultural references the author makes. If you're reading books with people kissing on the cover from the grocery store, though, no need to do any of these activities. Best to just keep that to yourself.

Without reading we could not communicate through this medium. I read a lot for work, but not so much for entertainment anymore, as my eyes are simply too tired and I don't have the concentration to do so much anymore.

I read a bit. Not as much as others, but enuff to have forgotten most of it. Some of what I've read has been important to me so I think that reading is valuable.

And I typically have between three and eight books checked out of the library at a time and am often reading two of them at once, alternating chapters.
As the bookmark the library gave me as a kid says,
"Send me someone who READS."
