Reading! Options

[Saffy]

Not sure if there's a topic on reading already, but I'll make the assumption that there isn't.

How often do you read? What was the last book you read? Any great suggestions?

I've gotten into reading recently which is quite new to me. I used to really hate it because no books really interested me. I found most of what was around was fantasy which I simply did not care for. However, I've always been into writing and felt it was a necessity that I start reading - if not just to pick up on new skills. So I decided to pick up The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy which I had purchased about two years ago and never finished. For the past three days I've done at least an hour of reading every night, and have just finished reading the book. Quite an accomplishment for me so now I'm on a bit of a high.

I intend to read the read the next book in the series, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. I will likely go pick it up the next time I visit Chapters.

Your turn. Go!

I read whenever I find the time.

Not counting manga, I'd say the most recent book I read was Winnie the Pooh and House at Pooh Corner. It's not one of those two page Disney sponsored things, but the original book that the series was based off of, with a British Christopher Robin and all the other guys too.

If you want a real book reccomendation, I think it was Dracula that I read last semester. It was a good book, but I got bored of it because I was thinking too much on writing my own stories at the time.
