You can't limit the meaning of book to something that has more than 100 words, that's absurd.
But no, I rarely read. I've ordered a few books for myself for Christmas that I expect I'll enjoy. I like reading books that have a good bit of meaning, rather than fiction. That doesn't mean I won't read fiction.

I usually read about 2 books a week, for the moment it is mosly warhammer 40k and wahrammer fantasy books.
But ive read everything from Machiavelli to H.P lovecraft and even Mein kampf.
Right now i got about 500 books in my personal collection and it steadily grows by about 5-6 books every month.
Personally some of my favorite books are anything by Steven Pressfield, anything form Conn Iggulden and perhaps the Malus Darkblade serie by Dan abnett and Mike Lee.
On the subject of warhammer books I really enjoy the Horus heresy serie and the new Nighlords (trilogy?) books.

Nice Hatchet, I read that in 5th grade along with My side of the Mountain. good lost in the woods teen-survival. brings back memories.
I read short allot of story collections these days I.E McSweeney's or Best short American short fiction (fill in year), easier to get into just one story and finish it in a sitting than needing to spend hours you might not have and stretching a book out over a month.

I loves me some book reading. I'm currently reading Bonk by Mary Roach, which will be followed by either The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan, Genome by Matt Ridley, or Don't Shoot the Dog by Karen Pryor. The Joy of Homebrewing is also on that list, but it's currently loaned to a friend right now. I have kind of a big book backlog right now because of a hectic semester, but finals are finished so I'm hoping to get a lot of reading done in the next few weeks.
I loved that book.zombiejoe said:
OP: I read from time to time, while my tastes are pretty narrow I do enjoy diving into a good book. My favourite one's Mortal Engines and I'm shooting to get my hands on a copy of Pride and Prejudice and zombies (I'm a zombie buff and a friend once brought a copy into school wherein I found that it was actually quite an entertaining read).
Love them. LOVE them. Just haven't been able to read to since school started. Was in the middle of one too...sad face 
Ooo! I love books!
Good ones? My dear sir/madam, the sheer amount of them is obscene! But of course, one can remember some...
I personally liked A Clockwork Orange (the movie's good too, but very different, visually). Its invented language gave it strong personality. Shakespeare's plays (okay, so they're not technically books) always offer something new. And yes, 21st century books can still be masterful literature. You just have to know where to look...
As of right now, I'm trying to complete several books: The Girl Who Played With Fire, The Monster Show, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Half the Sky. All are proving to be enjoyable, each in their own way.
