Any "real" book lovers out there? (Not ebooks..)

[Big Al]

I got stacks of books and find buying them pretty addictive (a bit like ebooks really and will continue to buy them for a long time to come! For personal development stuff I prefer audio and listen to it on the go.

I read a book any time I get. I prefer crime/espionage books

[PatriciaJ]

Always have a book on the go, can't end a day without reading a few chapters. Mostly fiction and hard or paperbacks. I don't like reading ebooks and only read them if I want some information

Wait you mean there are real books out there...I don't believe you
You meant e-books right...what year is it anyway?
I remember liking Dean Koontz as a youngster.
Carpe Diem ~Sieze the Night! It was one of his best!
With 2012 right around the corner...
I would recommend Stephen King's Dark Tower Series...
Does Playboy count?

I just love books! I love holding a book and turning the pages. eBooks are great for
getting the most up-to-date information, but I usually just print them out. Bookstores
and libraries are my favorites places. I especially love used bookstores. Whenever I visit a new city, I always check out the used bookstores.

I think I was born with a book in my hands. I crave, collect, and devour books. I print so many ebooks that I should own stock in ink cartridges... need more proof? I buy so many books every year, that at the end of each and every year, I have to go through my stash and usually donate at least two boxes to the local library.

Book lover here! Tell me what you're working on. I read at least 1 book per week (fiction and non-fiction)!

I sometimes feel like I LIVE in a used bookstore ;-) (and I'm trying to whittle things down just a wee bit by selling some of my books on Amazon.com Marketplace.

I'd love to look at your site and give you some feedback.

Yes, I'd be happy to check it out too.

That's right, ladies and gents, I pay $70 a month instead of $30 because 3 books at a time will just never be enough for me, when you take transit back and forth into account.

Before IM, I DREAMED of a life where I could read while I worked, and now I have it.

Also, fellow bookaholics on this thread might enjoy this blog post I did back in 2005 entitled "You Know You're a Bookaholic When..."

I've got to check that out!

I have a whole system for circulating books back into the world, from selling some to taking some to used bookstores for "trade" and yes, some of my favorite thrift stores get some too, along with the library.

Great thread!
