[Will of One]

I never read newspapers or magazines and I can get books at the library so almost never.

 

[drisky]

Do comics count, I usually just use the library for regular books, except on occasion.

 

[Jared]

My bookshelf is fairly respectable. Plenty of classic and contemporary titles.

But, really Ill buy something if I really want it, not just to fuill a whole.

Papers, I just read online...Eco-friendly and iPhone and all.

 

[Helmet]

One of the bookstores in town just had a sale where they took several thousand books into a tent on the side of the building and every single book cost $1. I spent $230.

 

[xxnightlawxx]

Lots of game book and, of course Escapist Newsletters!

 

[Not-here-anymore]

I'm a book fanboy! So much better than gaming systems, with their power requirements and everything. Books created that kernel of nerdiness within me! My bookshelf at the moment is, however, mostly empty bar the occasional textbook (university fun!). At home though, I have a veritable library!

[small] They're worse than crack. When I found my younger brother's mostly empty bookcase, I emptied it into a convenient cupboard, and moved it to my room to store the overflow. Now I need a third bookcase... [/small]

Massively jealous! Although I can see myself doing much the same thing in that situation... My local library did something like that, but most of the books there were of the outdated textbook variety...

 

[LeonLethality]

All the time, I love reading! I don't buy newspapers as there is a good free one that I get on my way to school but I buy a new book every few weeks when I finish my last book. I am hardly seen without a book.

And I guess for magazines I read the escapist weekly (does that count?)

 

[dmase]

I can get all my news online from multiple sources, my favorite magazines are online(here's lookin at you kid), and a decent amount of manga are on sites free to read.(i've spent so much money on manga i deserve some free reads. The only books i buy are stephen king ones but that has pretty much been the Dark Tower series which i've been neglecting.... along with my ps3.

 

[Sosa Star]

I read anything I can get my hands on. I have a subscription to Reader's Digest and buy books regularly. I also read newpapers if I happen to find one, same with most magazines. I try to buy a gamer magazine at least once a month, doesn't matter which one.

I've been called a print junky cause I always have to have something to read. I have two books on my computer desk and I read while playing World of Warcraft. Some of those Gryphon rides are long.

I got everything that grabbed my attention. From sci-fi and fantasy to literature and textbooks.

My brother got a 1st edition 1860 Dickens novel. For $1. Lucky bastard.

Happiness is in an overflowing bookcase. I have 4.

I have to say through I'm a binge reader. I don't really read fiction during the Semester but as soon as the holidays hit then I go crazy.

 

[johnman]

I dont buy them, I go to the libary.

 

[Geamo]

I read all of the time. 3 bookcases jam-filled with everything from The Illiad to I am Legend to Infinite Crisis.

I dislike watching news on the TV, but i'm usually informed with BBC news website. I occasionally grab gaming magazines if theyve got a special exclusive CD extra/interview/etc.

I'm currently reading my way through a Sci-Fi short story collection.

 

[mip0]

I hated books as a kid and started reading relatively late. Therefor I can't read nearly as fast or efficient as most people. This makes it 'harder' to enjoy.

 

[Chris^^]

i love books me.. i can reads real good

 

[Iznat]

I read all the time, anything and everything. My whole family does. It's a real shame that the local libraries aren't great, bacause I'm running out of books to read <_<

 

[j0frenzy]

I generally browse a couple of newspapers online every morning. Outside of that, I would like to read more, but college readings generally drain every week so that I just don't have the energy to read for fun. I get reading done over breaks.

 

[Sunrider]

When I was a kid, I read tons of books. Nowadays....not so much.
