Janos "As a kid I had weeks or months when I read a book per day, but then came the senior high school which killed my passion for reading for almost a decade. Now, a couple of years ago, I've again found time for reading and I've bought more books in the last couple of years than in my whole life before that. I've got a Reading:-field in my sidebar with links to the authors, and I'm starting to comment on books as I finish them. I read mostly horror and some scifi, with a few sidesteps to such writers as Hunter S. Thompson and Terry Pratchett" |

Wishing Upon A Star The Journal of a single forty-something teacher living in a Boston suburb. "I am a book addict. Moving men have wept at the sight of all my books. I have piles of unread books, and keep buying and buying new ones. Afterall, 'you never know.' If I don't have at least three books going at the same time I feel at a loss. I usually have one at school, one in the car (for long waits and traffic jams) and one at home. I've been like this since childhood. There is no hope it will ever change. |

I have pocket editions of a few books (I mean, really little books that really do fit in your pocket) that I take to concerts. I'm fond of saying I love books more than most people." |

Random Girl "Books are my life! I work 8 hours a day at a book store and, as if that's not enough, I spend most of the rest of my waking hours either devouring books or contributing my own fragments of written word to the world via journaling, writing short stories, writing essays, etc. And my apartment more closely resembles a library than a home. Enough said." |

To me it’s simple – reading is as essential as breathing. I have always been entranced by words. A book has the power of dispelling my worries and transporting me to exhilarating places, now and again. Books and words are life-long affairs for me and to which I’ll remain true for always.

"When you have to lock up all your books and give someone else the key in order to pass any of your college classes it means that you have a problem with reading. When your constantly late for work because you frequently remain up all night reading BOOKS YOU HAVE READ BEFORE it means you have a problem. When your fiance sighs and gets a sad look on his face every time he sees you with a book (several times a day) then walks off dejectedly it means you have a problem.

I Sold My Act to the Circus "Writing defines my life; catches each sun-coloured, wondering moment as black text on white.

I’ve always thought I had a writer living somewhere deep inside me, but I've been too much of a chicken to let him out... So I read instead, living vicariously; living for the day I can put the rest of this mess aside and try writing seriously for a change. In the mean time, you’ll always know what I’m reading, because I talk about it a lot (and talk about it like you’re reading it, too, or you at least know it, even though you often won't). And you’ll always know what I’ve read, ‘cause I keep a list as part of my journal." |
