Books
How do you prefer to get your Books that you read? Do you buy them new in the book store? Do you buy them from a second hand book store? Do you buy them online? Or do you prefer to use the library?
All of the above for me. LOL! Our library even has shelves of books in the basement that you can buy for a donation, amount [...]
Do You Read Books More Than Once
I noticed in a discussion that I participated in earlier, that some people will only read a book one time.
I had a friend like that years ago; he said there was no sense to read the book more than once, because you know how it will end.
I told him that, by using his logic, it would make no sense to watch a movie [...]
Wheres The Bookcase
When I go into someone's house I always look to see if they have a bookcase or at least some books lying around. I am finding that this is a rarer sight these days. 52' plasma screens, racks of DVDs, but few books. Of course they may have them hidden where I don't see them. But I wonder. Do you have books in your house. [...]
What Do You Do With Your Books After Youve Read Them
Do you have a library like my father. Or are you like me and donate them? Somewhere in between where you give away some and keep the real special ones? Which do you keep and which go?

Do You Go To The Library
I can honestly say that before I had kids, I never went to the library. Then when my girls were born, our local library had a story hour for the kids. They loved going! The teacher was wonderful and she always did a craft with the kids, besides reading them a book. They loved being able to check out books each week [...]
Do You Choose To Borrow A Book Or Buy It
For me, it's buy a book and i buy atleast 25-35 new books a year... it's like a hobby for me.

Do You Re-read Books
I love reading. I have been reading ever since I was I was two years old (albeit it was little words like "it" and "is" lol) I learn many things just by reading, and get great entertainment from it as well, so much that no book is ever old to me, no matter how many times I read it. I will read a book from beginning to [...]

Do You Ever Give Books Away
I always have bought books as gifts, for my children, my siblings, and my grandchildren, now.

I love books, and I love to feed this hunger that has been expressed by one young person. [...]
Do You Read Comics
I am not going to ask if you read books - most of you will probably bow your head in shame and try to hide behind a pillow.

Do You Read For Leisure Or For Learning
I've noticed lately, that although I'm reading certain books for fun, they are books that actually are teaching me things I did not know. I don't read fiction anymore, although I have just picked up The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde from my mom's book shelf. But still that seems learning to me since it is a classic, [...]

There was an article in the Paper at the weekend which said that people are reading less and less these days (bit of an irony that this was written in a newspaper) but is this really true?

Would You Read A Book In Digital Format
I guess I'm just a simple old fashion girl. The E-format of my favorite book is something a little hard to grasp still. I really need to get cozy, sit in front of the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book. Turning the pages instead of clicking on "next page" sounds more inviting to me. Our books are going [...]
